Westfalia Technologies Installs Innovative Single
Deep Storage Retrieval System for Firmenich Inc.
AS/RS Case Study
Firmenich Inc., a New Jersey based producer of flavors and fragrances, contracted with Westfalia Technologies
to install an automated storage retrieval sytem (AS/RS) to support production operations. The system needed
to present raw materials when required for the selected recipe, then re-store the unused portions, all while
maintaining accurate inventory control.
The single deep AS/RS with Telescopic Satellite® technology, measuring 200 feet long x 80 feet wide, utilizes two
Storage Retrieval Machines and 80 linear feet of conveyors. As in a classic single deep system, Westfalia’s SRM runs on
a floor rail and is captive to a single aisle. The pallets, however,
are not stored immediately off the main aisle, but in
corridors that branch off the main aisle. These corridors are
accessed by a Satellite equipped with telescopic forks which
is transported by the SRM.
“We selected Westfalia’s Satellite® AS/RS simply because it’s
the superior product,” said Doug Hartlove, previous Manager
of Engineering at Firmenich.
System Features:
- 2 Storage and Retrieval Machines
- 200’long x 80’ wide x 60’ high
- 80 Linear feet of conveyors
- 3,300 pallet positions
- 10-level rack system
