Westhof BIO has added the Movu atlas system

Westhof BIO, an organic vegetable freezing company, has automated its production facility with a stow racking silo served by Movu atlas 2D pallet shuttles. 

The Movu system provides efficient automated flow of goods and high-density storage in a six-level silo to hold over 5,000 pallets of frozen vegetables in the cold store. 

Westhof BIO processes around 10,000 T of fresh produce annually and its new organic freezing plant gives the company room to expand.

The automated freezer warehouse stores the frozen vegetables for delivery on pallets to manufacturers of organic food and baby food all year round.

The company was looking for a reliable and scalable high-density storage solution for vegetables in its minus 24 degrees centigrade cold store.

The automation solution consists of six Movu atlas shuttles, one of which transports the pallets on each of the six levels of the stow silo, which measures 60 m x 31 m x 17 m. Providing deep, multi-pallet channel storage, the silo maximises space by minimising the number and width of driving aisles – this installation has just one. 

“The Movu atlas 2D Shuttle is a true example of simple and easily accessible plug and play automation in challenging cold storage environment,” says Movu Robotics chief executive officer Stefan Pieters. 

“It´s scalability provides Westhof BIO with automation that handles peaks and adapts easily to future requirements.”
