Challenges:
AB InBev needed to maximize storage density to increase throughput in its warehouse. This meant:
- Improving vertical space usage to allow a storage increase from 2 pallets to 6 pallets
- Achieving increased throughput performance with vehicles that can handle more pallets at once
- Maintaining safety, quality, and performance standards while working around the clock
Solutions Implemented:
Körber helped AB InBev guarantee orders are ready on time with minimal human effort. We:
- Implemented multiple-depth storage solutions using satellite vehicles to maximize storage weight and height
- Achieved full integration with ABI management software so that no changes needed to be made to existing production processes
Benefits:
AB InBev can successfully keep up with growing UK demand for its beer brands.
- New technology helps decrease its warehouse’s carbon footprint by 605 tons of carbon dioxide, the equivalent of the electricity consumption of 600 homes
- The company avoided needing to expand or move warehouses, maintaining operations in its 80,000 cubic meter warehouse
