Background
Our OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer): Kolinahr Systems, Inc., an industry leader in pallet load stackers and labelers.
Kolinahr’s customer: A leading custom candle manufacturer, based in the USA, who creates superior quality, fragranced candles, including various containers, votives, and tarts.
The product: 40″ x 48″ GMA Pallets, 900 lbs. max, 1,800 lbs. double stacked.
Problem
The old system was highly inefficient, which hindered the accuracy and throughput of demanding warehouse operations.
Solution
We helped Kolinahr create a high-tech “valet parking” system for pallets. After the pallets are matched by the same type or zip code, they are double stacked and removed by forklift.
Results
- The new system design increased efficiency by pairing like pallets and double stacking the paired loads.
- Our team’s solution automated the pallet pairing and stacking process. As a result, it reduced the risk of injury from fork trucks double stacking pallets, and the end-user eliminated unnecessary personnel and traffic due to the increased efficiencies.
- Additionally, this application works well with AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) technology, maximizing productivity by picking up already paired and stacked loads and taking them to their end destination.
