Westfalia Technologies Inc.<\/a>, a provider of logistics solutions, confirmed that Bellisio Foods is in the process of installing warehouse automation technology at its Jackson, Ohio facility.<\/p>\n

The automated storage \/ retrieval system (AS\/RS) with an integrated conveyor system is controlled by Westfalia<\/a>\u2019s Savanna.NET Warehouse Execution System (WES) and will enable Bellisio to increase storage capacity and ship products faster than before.<\/p>\n

Bellisio found its existing warehouse operating at full capacity with limited expansion options. In addition, the company\u2019s current manual processes hindered efficiency as the company grew. When Bellisio needed to build a conventional freezer, the company turned to Westfalia for a solution that would meet its throughput requirements, improve shipping efficiencies, increase warehouse storage capacity and scale for future updates.<\/p>\n

Savanna.NET is configured to enhance each client’s business processes.<\/p><\/div>\n

Ryan Wright, Vice President of Engineering, Bellisio Foods, said, \u201cChoosing Westfalia allowed us to design our freezer around property we had available, while at the same time maximizing our pallet positions. Working with the Westfalia team was a great experience. Everyone we worked with are all true professionals.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bellisio is the third-largest producer of frozen entr\u00e9es in the United States. Its products are primarily sold in the United States but are also distributed in over 12 countries worldwide. Today, the company markets more than 400 products spanning across a wide variety of categories. While most of Bellisio’s products are branded, the company also manufactures private label and co-pack retail products. Bellisio\u2019s frozen food brands include Michelina\u2019s, Boston Market, EatingWell, Atkins, and Authentic Asia, among others.<\/p>\n

The AS\/RS is directly tied to palletizing. This system will allow Bellisio to efficiently transport pallets from production to storage, alleviating the need for physically demanding, repetitive labor within freezing conditions. Westfalia\u2019s WES, Savanna.NET, will streamline warehousing operations and provide real-time inventory tracking and accuracy.<\/p>\n

Dan Labell, President, Westfalia Technologies<\/a>, said, \u201cA key benefit of a high-density AS\/RS is its unique ability to improve space utilization in an existing facility without the need for a costly expansion or off-site storage. This is especially appealing to the frozen food industry, as many producers and distributors, like Bellisio Foods, are operating at maximum capacity, while handling a growing number of SKUs. Westfalia\u2019s AS\/RS, integrated with our Savanna.NET WES, will provide Bellisio with additional operational efficiencies, cost savings and a competitive advantage.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
