Our solution
Key features
1. Automated rack-supported warehouse integrated with production
Modulblok designed an automated rack-supported warehouse in which the storage structure itself serves as the building, combining storage capacity and the building envelope into a single engineered system.
The solution was developed to provide high-density storage through a multi-level configuration and fully automated pallet handling, ensuring seamless integration between production and warehouse operations.
2. Advanced handling technology (RAIDER®)
The system incorporates RAIDER® automated handling technology, designed to optimise pallet flows while increasing storage density and overall warehouse efficiency.
This configuration enables the elimination of additional structural elements, maximises the use of available building height and enhances overall storage capacity, supporting high-performance automated warehouse operations.
3. Integration of structure and automation
The project combines the load-bearing structure, automation technologies and material flows into a single coordinated system, ensuring seamless continuity between production and storage operations.
The facility is engineered with dedicated solutions for operator safety and maintenance activities, including accessible service levels and protected access routes designed to support efficient inspection and servicing procedures.

Key Benefits
High-density storage capacity
The rack-supported system provides approximately 8,100 pallet locations across 14 storage levels, reaching a height of 24 metres and maximising the use of available vertical space.
Increased storage density at every level
The short-side pallet handling configuration recovers approximately 200–220 mm at each storage level, increasing overall storage capacity without affecting the building height.
Operational continuity across production flows
The automated system combines RAIDER® technology and multi-level shuttle solutions to support continuous material flows and ensure seamless integration between production and warehouse operations.
Operational safety and accessibility
The facility incorporates segregated access corridors and service walkways every two levels, combined with advanced structural engineering and progressive collapse analysis to ensure safe operations and controlled maintenance activities.
