ENGINEERINGNET.EU -- To support its growing business in Russia, PepsiCo has placed a repeat order for Interroll technology to be installed in a new local distribution centre in Russia.
The new center in Azov, southern Russia, distributes snack food such as potato chips from Frito-Lay, one of PepsiCo's major leading brands. The project is a dynamic storage installation for at least 8,110 pallets stored first in, first out in energy-saving gravity lanes.
PepsiCo, a world leader in convenient snacks, foods and beverages, was seeking a space and energy saving solution supplied by a company that would meet its objectives in the areas of cost, quality, service and innovation.
An earlier project was the expansion of the storage capacity of PepsiCo's distribution centre near Moscow in 2009. A key feature there was the reduction of the number of forklift trucks by conveyor lines, which helped the company save around half a million Euros.
Compact, space-saving, first-in first-out pallet storage can save up to 50% on the space required by a static system, claims Interroll.
The pallet flow storage installation in Azov will start operating by the end of 2012.
