With the rapid growth of the global beverage industry, especially in the carbonated drinks segment, manufacturers are facing increasing pressure on production logistics and warehouse automation systems.

A leading global beverage brand, operating more than 20 brands and 100+ product lines in China, initiated a major upgrade to its factory by adopting a smart warehouse automation solution to improve efficiency and reduce operational costs.

China JSSL Company provides advanced automated warehouse solutions designed to optimize space utilization, enhance safety, and enable digital warehouse transformation.


Challenges: Limited Space & Inefficient Manual Operations

The client's raw material warehouse was located on the second floor, creating multiple operational challenges:

Narrow warehouse layout limiting storage capacity optimization

Large forklift aisles reducing usable storage space

Heavy reliance on manual forklift operations

Time-consuming manual verification (batch, SKU, weight)

High labor intensity and safety risks

These issues made it difficult to achieve high efficiency warehouse operations.


Solution: Flexible Automated Warehouse with Pallet Robot System

After detailed analysis, China JSSL Company implemented a customized warehouse automation solution centered on the JE-1200FK pallet robot system.

The solution combines:

Back-to-back racking system

Double-deep storage racking

8-meter high automated storage system (ASRS-like structure)

Integrated conveyor and lifting systems

This innovative design provides a scalable and flexible industrial automation logistics solution.
