Westfalia Technologies Inc.<\/a>, a provider of logistics solutions for manufacturers and distributors since 1992, has been named a Food Logistics Top Green Provider for the fifth consecutive year. With its \u201cGo Green with High Density\u201d warehouse automation solutions, Westfalia continues to help food and beverage companies reduce land usage, energy consumption and waste within their supply chains.<\/p>\n

The Top Green Providers\u00a0list recognizes companies whose products,\u00a0services\u00a0or exemplary leadership is enhancing sustainability within the food and beverage industry. Each year, the criteria for earning a spot on the list become more stringent for applicants. For example, the editorial staff evaluates a company\u2019s participation in such programs as the EPA\u2019s SmartWay and other recognized sustainability programs; facilities that are LEED-certified, and\/or feature solar panels, LED lighting and other energy saving installations and retrofits that produce measure reductions in GHG emissions, to name a few.<\/p>\n

Dan Labell, president, Westfalia Technologies<\/a>, said: \u201cFor 25 years, Westfalia<\/a> has been committed to helping manufacturers and distributors improve sustainability by applying innovative technologies, like our automated storage and retrieval systems (AS\/RS), as a means of not only improving operational efficiency, but also minimizing their supply chains\u2019 environmental impact.\u201d<\/p>\n

Westfalia\u2019s \u201cGo Green with High Density\u201d warehouse automation solutions allow customers, including food and beverage companies, to store more product in a smaller space and use less land by retrofitting existing facilities. As a result, companies are able to reduce their overall building footprint by up to 50% and expand their storage capacity by 30 to 50% (when compared to conventional warehouses). In addition, Westfalia\u2019s clients typically see an average energy cost reduction of 40% because automated warehouses require fewer interior lights and less space to heat and cool.<\/p>\n

Westfalia has been named a Food Logistics Top Green Provider for the fifth consecutive year.<\/p><\/div>\n

With Westfalia<\/a>\u2019s Savanna.NET Warehouse Execution System (WES), companies can control and optimize material flow, allowing warehouses with time-sensitive products to employ first-expired, first-out (FEFO) inventory management to minimize product waste due to expiration dates. Also, Westfalia\u2019s AS\/RS eliminates fork trucks so there is no need for battery charging stations, thus fewer batteries end up in landfills.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe future viability of the world\u2019s food supply chain is dependent upon our ability to integrate sustainability from farm to fork,\u201d said Lara L. Sowinski, editorial director, Food Logistics. \u201cTransportation and logistics comprise a significant part of that supply chain, and we commend those companies in our industry that embrace their role as environmental stewards, while raising the sustainability bar for their peers.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
