Optimizing inbound and outbound logistics with automated solutions
Efficient pallet handling
At Frigoscandia’s new cold storage facility, efficient material handling plays a key role in keeping operations smooth and products at peak quality. To support this, Q-System has delivered conveyor-based automation that reduces manual work, improves tracking accuracy, and ensures reliable pallet flow in and out of the facility.
What Q-System delivered:
- Automated conveyor systems for both inbound and outbound pallet handling
- Integrated pallet inspection to check incoming goods against quality standards
- Turntables for label alignment, ensuring labels are always visible for scanning
- Seamless flow control, minimizing manual interventions and bottlenecks
Inbound: Quality check and label alignment
- Pallets pass through an automated inspection zone, where both pallet and goods are checked
- A turntable rotates the pallet, aligning the label correctly for scanning
- This ensures traceability and compliance before goods enter storage
Outbound: Shipment preparation made easy
- Pallets are automatically routed to shipping via conveyor
- Before leaving the facility, each pallet is rotated again, so the label faces outward
- This setup ensures quick and efficient scanning at the next destination
The result for Frigoscandia:
- Increased logistics efficiency: smoother pallet flow in both directions
- Improved quality control: thanks to consistent inspection and label orientation
- Reduced manual handling: minimizing strain and labor in a cold environment
- Reliable operations: automation ensures consistent performance, even under demanding conditions
Machines used in this case:
- Heavy conveyor systems
- Turntable
- Pallet control
