Marilyn's Reflection
In the Army Logistics Base (ALB) they make use of the through flow in their warehousing layout. Goods are received in the front which is the inbound/receiving area and the shipped to their respective areas at the back of the warehouse which is the outbound area.
The height of the ALB building is about 30M which is about 10 storey’s high.
ALB uses different storage systems such as the:
-Bin ASRS
-Pallet ASRS
-Mobile Racking System
-Vertical Carousel System
The Mobile Racking System is the storage area for homogenous items and is located in the main storage area.
The Vertical Carousel System is the storage area for the Medical Supplies Storage area.
Left: Laser guided vehicle. Right: Very narrow aisle machine.
MHE's found in the inbound and outbound of ALB includes the Laser guided vehicle and the Very narrow aisle machine (VNA).
The laser guided vehicle is found at the receiving area.
ALB uses the 10 foot container truck for deliveries.
Vertical Carousel System
The area that impresses me most would be the Vertical Carousel System, as items are uniformly stored and easy to retrieve. Safety measures are also implemented whereby the Vertical Carousel System freezes whenever a hand reaches inside whilst it is moving. The Vertical Carousel System proves to be highly reliable and is able to help keep small medical items in check.
