The challenge
Forklifts and people shared the same dock lane, and the busiest hour regularly ended in near misses.
What we built
A pallet conveyor loop from the dock to a wrap station, with fixed handover points where mobile robots pick up and deliver to the racking.
- Traffic rules agreed with the safety team on paper first
- WMS messages for every pallet move
- Night-time installation, zero lost shipping days
Results
Forklifts no longer cross the dock lane. Throughput is up by a fifth on the same footprint.
