Pharma & Healthcare
Cold Storage
From blast freezers to refrigerated distribution centres, 3D’s systems are engineered to perform reliably at temperatures as low as -58°F with no special forklifts required.
Common challenges
- Component reliability at temperatures as low as −58°F
- Maximum density in expensive refrigerated and freezer space
- Minimising aisle space and forklift travel in temperature-controlled environments
Consumer Food & Packaged Goods
Food manufacturing and distribution presents its own storage challenges, non-standard pallet types, high pallet-count SKUs, and the need for engineering solutions that standard systems can't handle.
Common challenges
- Non-standard pallet types and custom load configurations
- High-volume, single-SKU production runs requiring deep lane storage
- Engineering solutions for load types standard systems can't accommodate
Automotive & Manufacturing
Automotive suppliers and manufacturers rely on high-density, high-turnover storage for parts, components, and finished goods, where storage flexibility and reliable flow are essential in production environments.
Common challenges
- High SKU count with variable pallet depths per lane
- Non-standard containers, steel bins, and industrial totes
- Line-side storage supporting fast-moving production schedules
E-Commerce & Distribution
High-throughput fulfillment operations demand fast, accurate, high-density picking systems. Carton flow and pallet flow are workhorses in modern distribution centers.
Common challenges
- High-velocity case and carton picking at scale
- Maximizing pick face density without sacrificing throughput
- Flexible configurations for fluctuating volume
Wholesale & Retail Logistics
Wholesale and retail logistics providers need flexible, high-density storage that adapts to a broad and constantly shifting product mix. Pushback and pallet flow deliver per-lane flexibility across a wide range of SKU profiles.
Common challenges
- Wide product mix with varying pallet weights and dimensions
- Balancing storage density with pick accessibility
- Fluctuating inventory requiring flexible lane depth
Pharma & Healthcare
Pharmaceutical distribution requires precise inventory control, careful rotation management, and systems that support clean, auditable storage environments. We'll help you determine the right configuration for date-sensitive, high-value inventory.
Common challenges
- Rotation management for date-sensitive product
- High-value inventory requiring precise slot control
- Clean, auditable storage environments, with stainless steel component options available for washdown requirements
