The Bell Food Group is one of the leading meat and convenience processors in Europe. Its product range includes meat, poultry, charcuterie, seafood, convenience and vegetarian products. With various brands such as Bell, Eisberg, Hilcona and Hügli, the Bell Group covers a wide range of customer needs. Its customers include retail, food service and the food industry.
The expansion included the delivery of storage and retrieval machines from the BOXer system solution as well as the installation of a 3-aisle racking system with a length of 20 m and storage capacity for over 29,000 containers with double-deep storage. Also new: two carousels on the ground and upper floors with connection to the existing conveyor technology. A total of three new BOXer storage and retrieval machines were installed and four storage and retrieval machines were replaced with BOXer technology including anti-sway software. Peak stacking rates of 410 containers per hour are achieved.
To ensure performance and competitiveness for the main Swiss market, the Bell Food Group decided to modernize and simultaneously expand the existing fully automated high-bay warehouse with logistics solutions from Stoecklin. The maximum system availability required by Bell is ensured by proven solutions such as the BOXer storage and retrieval system solution. In addition, Stoecklin ensures short response times in the event of a fault by providing a 24/365 service.
