-18°C Frozen Products in Chonburi, Thailand
Cold Storage Flat Warehouse High-Bay Racking Expansion Project
Key Results
Capacity Expansion: Storage Capacity Increased by 72%
Loss Control: Product Damage Rate Reduced to 1.8%
Project Deployment: Zero Civil Construction to Support Rapid Capacity Scale-Up
Project Pain Points
The project involves a 1,600㎡ cold storage flat warehouse operating at -18°C, located in the WHA Industrial Estate, Chonburi, primarily used for storing exported frozen seafood and raw meat products. The legacy traditional floor-stacking model suffered from extremely poor space utilization, leading to severe capacity deficits during peak-season stock-up periods. Furthermore, repetitive manual forklift operations frequently caused cargo crushing and damage, while tracking short shelf-life items relied strictly on manual inspection, making inventory shrinkage exceptionally difficult to control.
Core Solutions
■Low-Temperature Engineered Racking: Deployed customized, low-temperature resistant high-bay selective pallet racking systems tailored for cold storage environments.
■Dedicated Slotting Strategy: Allocated exclusive storage locations structured precisely by product categories and inbound batch numbers.
■Traffic & Label Optimization: Optimized forklift operational paths and implemented a standardized batch identification system.
■Proactive Expiration Warnings: Upgraded the inventory management protocol with automated early-warning mechanisms for short shelf-life goods.
Business Value Delivered
■Massive Capacity Expansion: Boosted effective storage capacity by 72% within the exact same footprint. The facility now comfortably accommodates peak-season stock demands without requiring expensive new cold storage civil construction, saving heavy capital investments.
■Effective Loss Control: Slashed cargo crushing and product damage rates down to 1.8%. The combination of rigorous batch management and expiration alerts has drastically minimized dead stock and obsolete inventory losses.
■Accelerated Turnover Efficiency: Increased full-pallet inbound and outbound handling efficiency by 40% following forklift route optimization, perfectly aligning with the fast-paced export rhythms required for frozen goods turnover and port-side cargo consolidation.
