Technical requirements and constraints
Our solution
Key features
1. Automated rack-supported pallet warehouse
Modulblok designed an automated rack-supported pallet warehouse for storing pallets of cosmetic packaging components, semi-finished goods and finished products, configured to meet the need for seamless integration between production and logistics.
2. Multi-level system for integrated material flow management
- The structure is organised across multiple levels to efficiently handle different types of materials, ensuring continuity between storage and operational use
- The configuration provides direct access to each load unit, facilitating the management of a wide variety of SKUs and improving retrieval operations
3. Integration with production processes
- The system is designed to support internal material flows between production and the warehouse, ensuring material availability and operational continuity.
- The rack-supported structure maximises the use of the available vertical space, with a layout designed to accommodate variations in component types and operational requirements.

Key Benefits
High storage density in a rack-supported configuration
Capacity for approximately 6,000 pallets across 13 triple-deep storage levels, extending to a height of 18.5 metres and maximising the available space without expanding the building footprint.
Operational efficiency and automated material flows
Automated handling via two 17-metre stacker cranes ensures continuous put-away and retrieval cycles while reducing material access times.
Structural safety and facility protection
Seismic-resistant design and integration of an oxygen-reduction fire prevention system ensure high safety standards within a sensitive production environment.
Space optimisation and multi-deep storage
The triple-deep configuration increases storage capacity while maintaining controlled access to load units..
