The challenge
How can we increase the storage capacity of our distribution centre through an automated storage solution?
Working together towards a solution
For Musgrave, NEDCON and Vanderlande delivered an automated storage solution for the storage of dry grocery products and other non-perishable goods. Vanderlande supplied the ADAPTO shuttle technology, while NEDCON provided its Beamtype storage system, creating a high-density warehouse with more than 84,000 storage locations. The solution significantly increased storage capacity by combining high storage density with an efficient warehouse layout. The second phase of the project was completed without disrupting daily operations.

Increased storage capacity
The double-deep storage system significantly increased storage capacity, creating more than 84,000 storage locations within a compact warehouse footprint.
Fire safety
The warehouse is equipped with an integrated sprinkler system to ensure maximum safety.
Efficient shuttle technology
Shuttles can operate across multiple aisles, providing greater flexibility and optimising material flows throughout the warehouse.
Operational continuity
The project was implemented in two phases, with the first phase remaining fully operational during the construction of the second phase, ensuring uninterrupted warehouse operations.
The result
An automated high-density storage system with more than 84,000 storage locations, allowing Musgrave to significantly increase warehouse capacity and optimise the use of available space.
