Challenges

  • Recio’s continued growth meant the system was approaching its peak capacity by 2012
  • Certain products were still being handled manually
  • The company wanted to prepare more orders with the same staffing levels, in less time
  • The layout of the distribution centre meant that a conventional ‘one aisle/one machine’ solution was uneconomical
  • Recio needed an order processing system that combined state-of-the-art technology with traditional methods to facilitate future growth.

The solution

  • Vanderlande proposed ADAPTO, a highly flexible 3D storage, retrieval and transportation system
  • ADAPTO ensures easy access to products at all times
  • Maintenance platforms allow quick operator access to all shuttles and rack locations, enabling fast and safe troubleshooting.

Specifications

  • Six aisles
  • 10,360 tote capacity
  • 14 shuttles
  • User friendly control software
  • Real time information

Customer success

  • Recio’s operations are more robust and efficient
  • Productivity in picking and packing has risen from 130 order lines (per hour/per operator) to 210
  • Throughput has also been increased, which means the service offering to customers has become faster
  • Due to the flexibility and scalability of ADAPTO, shuttles and lifts can also be added at a later date.
