How a Leading Edible Oil Manufacturer Transformed Its Warehouse into a High-Efficiency Automated Storage Hub
A large-scale edible oil and feed processing enterprise, with an annual production capacity of 300,000 tons of oilseed and 240,000 tons of feed, was facing increasing pressure on its internal logistics system as production volume and product SKUs continued to expand.
The original warehouse system relied heavily on manual forklift operations and static storage methods, which gradually exposed key operational limitations:
- Low space utilization due to traditional pallet stacking
- Inefficient manual inbound and outbound handling
- Frequent inventory deviations and lack of real-time visibility
- Growing complexity in coordinating production, packaging, and storage flow
- Increasing safety risks and labor dependency
To support its next phase of growth and supply chain modernization, the enterprise upgraded its warehouse into a high-density Automated Storage And Retrieval System (AS/RS) in collaboration withDELIECN Intelligent Warehousing.
Through vertical and multi-lane warehouse restructuring to optimize every cubic inch of space.
Enable fully automated flow from production lines directly to storage and dispatch zones.
Achieve inventory control with full traceability for food safety and compliance standards.
The upgraded facility adopts a multi-layered intelligent logistics architecture combining mechanical automation, rail transport, and software coordination:
A dedicated overhead production-warehouse connection corridor was constructed, forming a closed-loop automated logistics pipeline directly linking packaging lines with storage zones. This end-to-end integration eliminated intermediate manual handling points and significantly improved logistics continuity.
Finished goods from packaging lines are automatically transferred into the warehouse via the RGV system, forming a continuous unmanned logistics flow.
- Eliminates forklift congestion in production areas
- Reduces handling damage and manual intervention
- Improves line-side efficiency and buffer management
At the core of the warehouse operation are 12 independently controlled four-way shuttle robots, operating under centralized WCS scheduling.
- Simultaneous multi-lane operations across aisles
- Dynamic task allocation based on order priority
- Continuous 24/7 non-stop operation
- Automatic shuttle swapping and lane optimization
The warehouse adopts a four-level high-bay racking structure with optimized fire-zoned segmentation, achieving:
- Over 3,800 pallet positions
- Approximately 180,000 SKU-level inventory entries
- Zoned storage for different categories
- Built-in water mist fire suppression system
Integration of shuttle robots, RGV systems, and algorithms achieves outstanding throughput:
- Inbound capacity: up to 55 pallets/hour
- Outbound capacity: over 100 pallets/hour
- Efficiency improvement: ~+50% vs. manual
- Stabilized workflow balance
The WMS platform enables complete digitalization of inventory management:
- Batch-level traceability across the supply chain
- Real-time synchronization of inventory data
- One-click visibility of stock status and location
- Automated inventory reconciliation
- Inventory accuracy reaching 99.99%
- Compliance with food safety regulations
- Significant improvement in warehouse space utilization (high-density increase)
- Faster and more stable logistics throughput between production and storage
- Near-perfect inventory accuracy and traceability compliance
- Reduced dependency on manual labor and improved workplace safety
- Enhanced scalability to support future production expansion
The facility has successfully evolved from a traditional storage site into a fully integrated digital logistics hub supporting continuous production growth and supply chain resilience.
With advanced configurations such as 12 four-way shuttle robots, RGV transport networks, and WMS–WCS coordination architecture, the warehouse now operates as a high-speed, high-density, and fully traceable logistics engine.
As DELIECN Intelligent Warehousing continues to expand across food, pharmaceutical, and industrial sectors, it is enabling enterprises to accelerate their transition toward fully digital, automated, and future-ready warehouse ecosystems.
