Client Overview
The client is a leading e-commerce company managing high volumes of order fulfillment through a multi-tiered warehouse setup. With a growing product catalog and increasing order volume, the company requires a material handling solution capable of efficiently moving goods between mezzanine floors. The client needed a solution that would improve throughput, reduce manual handling, and optimize space utilization in their busy fulfillment center.
Challenge
The client’s existing material handling system involved time-consuming manual labor to transfer goods between different levels of their warehouse. This not only led to delays in order processing but also created safety concerns due to frequent use of trolleys and forklifts on busy warehouse floors. The warehouse lacked an efficient and scalable solution for fast vertical material transfer, leading to operational bottlenecks, particularly during peak periods. The challenge was to design a system that could handle large volumes of goods efficiently, safely, and in a compact footprint.
Solution
In response to these challenges, we delivered a Made-in-India Vertical Reciprocating Conveyor (VRC), developed, designed and manufactured entirely in-house by NIDO Automation.
By implementing the VRC, the client experienced a transformation in their material handling process, improving operational efficiency and significantly reducing the risk of accidents from manual handling.
