Mill 95 is a premier independent hops service provider for craft brewers and hop growers. They wanted an innovative solution to automate material movement and maximize pallet positions in cold storage. Utilizing high-density, deep-bay storage we were able to create 1,100 pallet positions in 9,800 square foot of space.

Semi-automated pallet shuttle systems can significantly increase warehouse efficiency by automating the movement of pallets within storage lanes. This reduces the need for manual handling and speeds up the retrieval and storage processes.
Pallet shuttle systems maximize storage space utilization by enabling high-density storage configurations such as deep lane storage. This allows warehouses to store more inventory within the same footprint, ultimately increasing storage capacity.
With semi-automated pallet shuttle systems, workers spend less time manually moving pallets, freeing up valuable time for other tasks. This leads to improved overall productivity and throughput in warehouse operations.
By minimizing the need for manual pallet handling, semi-automated pallet shuttle systems help reduce the risk of workplace injuries associated with heavy lifting and repetitive motions. This creates a safer working environment for warehouse staff.
Semi-automated pallet shuttle systems are highly flexible and can be easily adapted to accommodate changes in warehouse layout or inventory requirements. Additionally, they are scalable, allowing warehouses to expand their storage capacity as needed without major
Pallet shuttle systems often come with advanced inventory management features such as real-time tracking and FIFO/LIFO inventory control. This enables warehouses to maintain accurate inventory records and improve stock rotation practices.
While initial investment costs may be higher than traditional storage solutions, semi-automated pallet shuttle systems offer long-term cost savings through improved efficiency, reduced labor costs, and better space utilization. Over time, the return on investment (ROI) can be significant.
