01
The challenge
Three shifts of forklift drivers in the cold, 30% staff turnover a year and two serious collisions in eighteen months. The client wanted one thing above all: safety.
02
The solution
All horizontal pallet flows between inbound, buffer and shipping now run on LT Tile 1500 CS. The LT Fork 14 fills the buffer racking up to 4.5 metres. People and robots have separate zones with physical crossings.
03
The result
Since go-live, zero incidents involving equipment. The forklift fleet went from 22 to 7 trucks, and the freed-up drivers now work in order picking and quality.
“The most important number isn't in the business case: nobody drives a forklift between colleagues in the cold at night any more.”
