Premium Waters Inc - Customer Case Study

Premium Waters Inc, a private-label bottled water leader, faced rising demand and throughput requirements at its Douglas, GA facility. To meet those challenges the company partnered with Westfalia Tech. Inc., selecting a high-density Automated Storage and Retrieval System (AS/RS) and the Savanna.NET® Warehouse Management System (WMS) to improve storage efficiency and order handling.

Westfalia Tech. Inc. implemented a four-level AS/RS with over 6,500 pallet positions, two Storage/Retrieval Machines in one aisle (handling two pallets at a time), Satellite rack entry vehicles, a Drawbridge Conveyor and Air Chain Accumulation Conveyors, all controlled by Savanna.NET. The deployment delivered measurable results — a 40% increase in storage density, roughly 30% reduction in energy costs, improved FIFO inventory control and a quoted 100% inventory accuracy — while boosting throughput, employee productivity and capacity for future growth.
