The Challenge
The primary challenge for NSW DPI was to maximise the racking capacity within their new purpose-built chickpea storage facility. They had a stringent minimum storage requirement that needed to be met. The racking design had to not only maximise space but also ensure functionality and efficiency.
Breakdown of Products
- Racking Design: Custom-designed to maximise storage capacity and ensure efficient use of space.
- Racking: High-capacity racking systems tailored to the specific needs of the chickpea storage facility.
- Megabins: Large storage bins to accommodate significant quantities of chickpeas.
- Stock Management System: A comprehensive system complete with labels and signage to facilitate easy identification and organisation of stored items.
Implementation
Storeplan worked closely with other contractors involved in the project to ensure seamless integration of the racking system with the overall facility design. Collaboration with NSW DPI was crucial in selecting the appropriate forklift to handle the high-capacity racking layout. Storeplan provided a tailored solution that included designing, supplying, and installing the racking system, Megabins, and stock management system.
Results
The implementation of Storeplan’s racking solution resulted in a highly efficient storage facility that met and exceeded the storage requirements of the NSW DPI. The custom racking design maximised the available space, allowing for optimal storage of chickpeas and facilitating efficient stock management.
Benefits
- Maximised Storage Capacity: The custom-designed racking system allowed for maximum utilisation of the available space, meeting the minimum storage requirements.
- Enhanced Efficiency: The functional and efficient racking design streamlined the storage and retrieval process.
- Integrated Stock Management: The stock management system, complete with labels and signage, improved organisation and ease of access to stored items.
- Collaborative Approach: Working closely NSW DPI ensured that all aspects of the project were aligned with their expectations, resulting in a cohesive and efficient storage solution.
