Case Study: Gehl Foods, Inc. achieves nearly 300% storage capacity increase with Westfalia Technologies, Inc.'s High-Density AS/RS and Savanna.NET WMS

Gehl Foods, Inc. - Customer Case Study

Gehl Foods, Inc., a century-old dairy processor in Germantown, WI, faced rapidly growing order volumes and a need for far greater pallet storage within its existing 22' high, 300,000 sq ft facility. To avoid building expansion, Gehl Foods engaged Westfalia Technologies, Inc. to address constrained order processing and warehouse capacity with an automated solution (High Density AS/RS) and Savanna.NET® Warehouse Management Software.

Westfalia Technologies, Inc. designed and installed a multi-aisle High Density AS/RS with six SRMs, triple-rail pallet support, air-chain accumulation conveyors and Savanna.NET® WMS to manage flows. The system provides well over 10,000 pallet locations (three levels, 6–11 pallets deep), nearly a 300% increase in storage capacity, higher throughput, lower labor and energy costs, and improved inventory visibility that reduced shipping errors and product damage—enabling Gehl Foods to grow without adding facility space.
