Case Study I Hayat Kimya<br />

Upper floor: inputs<br />

All warehouse inputs from the factories<br />

that are located on-premises take place<br />

on the third floor of Hayat Kimya’s logistics<br />

centre. The accumulative automatic roller<br />

conveyors have been set up in the four<br />

overpasses connecting the warehouse to<br />

the factories.<br />

All the factories have a conveyor circuit<br />

that is tasked with the input of the pallets<br />

into the system after checking both<br />

its size and its weight. Only then will they<br />

ensure that the pallets that arrive to the<br />

warehouse do so in good condition.<br />

In each overpass two lifts were placed, one<br />

in each factory’s entry points and an other<br />

at the end of each overpass, allowing<br />

goods to be lifted to transport height and<br />

subsequently to the third floor. At the same<br />

time, this floor has a triple electrified monorail<br />

circuit running both the external and<br />

internal movements of the warehouse.<br />

On the third floor, alongside inputs, outputs<br />

of goods that are lowered to the designated<br />

picking floor are also done via the<br />

elevators.<br />

Every day an average<br />

of 6,500 pallets come<br />

into the warehouse,<br />

peaking at 400 pallets<br />

per hour<br />

upper floor where inputs<br />

into the warehouse are<br />

performed.<br />
