Uelzena invests in storage and production technologies
11 Jan 2018 --- The Uelzena Group continues to grow and to invest strongly and following many months of planning, the first construction phase of the new high-rise storage warehouse, located directly next to the existing site's premises has begun. The starting point for the modernization was the purchase of a neighboring lot where up until 2013 pickled vegetables had been produced. Within the framework of a strategic master plan, Uelzena was able to secure a large part of these premises a few years ago.
Currently, a sophisticated truck logistics system ensures that the right materials arrive at the right time at the right place and that the finished products are sent to the right storage facility. The new high-rise storage warehouse is scheduled to start operation at the end of 2018 and thus the transportation routes will be shorter and more efficient. Most of the time-consuming loading processes will no longer be needed. With trucks no longer driving, the CO2 footprint and emissions of particulate matter will be reduced.
The magic number in terms of quality of the new storage warehouse is 1,350. This is how many pallets may be maximally handled in the new storage depot - per hour. The latest elevator technology and IT will control handling; the transport of the pallets to and from six truck loading ramps will be performed almost completely automatically. Fast shelf operating units move independently through the aisles, laser sensors track all pallets via
Investment and modernization do not end with the new premises next to the headquarters. Uelzena is also remodeling its drying technology. Two new evaporators and a filter unit for one of the milk powder towers will be built on site and the associated filling plant will be comprehensively remodeled – the investment for these works adds up to €14 million.
