Frozen food manufacturers and distributors are automating pallet storage and retrieval to increase deep-freeze capacity, enhance throughput and efficiency, and minimize the exposure of warehouse personnel to freezing temperatures. As they plan for automation, operators should consider the role that automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS) can play in helping them meet the growing demand for mixed-SKU pallets of frozen foods. Integrating palletizing processes into the design of the ASRS can create opportunities to optimize fully automated, semi-automated, or manual mixed-SKU palletizing.
