Mecalux will build<br />
Çaykur a clad-rack<br />
warehouse with<br />
a capacity for more<br />
than 29,000 pallets<br />
Çaykur’s, the biggest producer of<br />
Turkish tea, new clad-rack warehouse<br />
in Iyidere (Turkey) will be more than<br />
40 m high and almost 160 m long.<br />
Mecalux will provide a large, single aisle,<br />
automated warehouse served by three<br />
single-column stacker cranes and aided<br />
by Pallet Shuttle that are responsible for<br />
transporting 800 x 1200 x 2600 mm sized<br />
pallets with a maximum weight of 600 kg<br />
each.<br />
In order to optimize accessibility to locations,<br />
Mecalux has developed a control<br />
system and safe passageways that allow<br />
the stacker cranes to enter the annex<br />
zones. This is all controlled by the warehouse<br />
management system Easy WMS and<br />
the Galileo control software.<br />
In addition, input of goods will be done<br />
at the side the warehouse via three raised<br />
overpasses that connect the warehouse<br />
with the docking area. The elevated overpasses<br />
allow for workspace savings so<br />
that the ground floor remains completely<br />
available.<br />
Çaykur, which opened its first tea factory<br />
in 1947, produces 133,000 tons of tea annually<br />
in 46 different factories, making it<br />
the largest tea producer in Turkey and one<br />
of the most important worldwide. This<br />
massive solution could only be properly set<br />
up using Mecalux’s extensive know-how.<br />
All in the family: Mecalux expands<br />
the Familia Group warehouse in Colombia<br />
Familia Group, a company specialising in<br />
personal care and hygiene products, will<br />
expand its current clad-rack warehouse<br />
to reach a capacity of more than 16,000<br />
pallets.<br />
In 2011, Mecalux erected Family Group one<br />
of the first automated warehouses within Colombia.<br />
The installation, with a capacity for<br />
7,416 pallets and 31.2 m high, is managed by<br />
three stacker cranes.<br />
A few years later, the company has again chosen<br />
Mecalux to execute the Cájica warehouse<br />
expansion. The objective: to reach 34.4 m in<br />
height, increase capacity to include another<br />
9,480 pallets, and install an additional three<br />
stacker cranes. Moreover, recirculation is set<br />
up that allows both the management of inputs<br />
from outside sources and internal production,<br />
and also direct dispatch from the warehouse.<br />
The warehouse management system, Easy<br />
WMS software, implemented by Mecalux will<br />
also be supplied.<br />
With this expansion, the Family Group warehouse<br />
will achieve greater inputs and outputs,<br />
bringing it to the forefront of logistics within<br />
the t<strong>issue</strong> and the personal hygiene sector.<br />
