One of the world’s leading pharmaceutical companies has transformed its storage capacity and its operational efficiencies thanks to Thistle Systems’ innovative AUTOCUBE automated pallet storage system.
Initially, the client was looking to maximise pallet storage capacity within a confined floor space of just 298 square meters. The original plan was to implement an ultra-high-density storage solution for dry and finished goods, utilizing a goods lift to transport items from the ground-level dispatch area to the first-floor manufacturing area. However, Thistle Systems took the concept further by designing the AUTOCUBE system to streamline the entire process.
Instead of relying on a separate goods lift, AUTOCUBE’s smart carriers and intelligent lift technology allowed pallets to be taken directly from the dock leveller in the goods-in area and stored efficiently. In addition, the AUTOCUBE system was engineered to transport pallets seamlessly between the production areas on both the ground and first floors via integrated transport rails.
This design not only increased the storage capacity beyond initial expectations but also eliminated the need for a costly and space-consuming goods lift, resulting in substantial improvements in efficiency and reducing operational costs.
