Albert Heijn optimizes transport with Pallet Sorting Systems’ Pallet Stack Alignment System
Albert Heijn has implemented a Pallet Stack Alignment System from Pallet Sorting Systems in their distribution center (DC). This system is specially designed to align different types of pallets, which are manually stacked empty in the DC, before they are loaded into trucks. The result: a more efficient transportation process and optimal use of available truck space.
Smart pallet management for more efficient transport
With the Pallet Stack Alignment System, pallets are automatically straightened after manual stacking. This ensures that the stacks of pallets are stable and compact, which is essential for the safe and efficient transport of pallets to pallet sorting and recovery facilities. The improved alignment allows more pallets to be loaded into a truck, maximizing available floor space.
The system is easy to integrate into existing processes and provides a user-friendly solution to an important logistics problem. The accuracy of the alignment system allows Albert Heijn to reduce the number of trips between the DC and external pallet companies, contributing to cost savings and more sustainable operations.
Benefits of the Pallet Stack Alignment System
- Optimal use of truck space: By aligning pallets correctly, more stacks fit in a truck, resulting in more efficient transportation.
- Improved stability: Aligned pallet stacks are safer during transport, preventing damage to pallets and cargo.
- Sustainability: Fewer trips mean lower CO2 emissions, which fits within Albert Heijn’s sustainable strategy.
- Efficient processes: The alignment system streamlines the logistics workflow and reduces manual adjustments.
A future-proof solution
The Pallet Stack Alignment System from Pallet Sorting Systems not only helps Albert Heijn optimize transportation, but also provides a solution that is scalable and future-proof. This system fits seamlessly with the logistics needs of a large distribution network and contributes to more sustainable pallet management.
