Zubair's Reflection
When I first stepped into the warehouse I was amazed at how huge the warehouse actually is! What more can I expect from the region’s most advanced warehousing system. The army logistics base is equipped with modern warehouse handling system namely Automated Storage and Retrieval System, the Mobile Racking & Shelving System, the Vertical Carousel.
Automated Storage and Retrieval System- A mechanical system which is used to store and retrieve material in pallet loads which it about 18 to 20 storeys high. It can also hold up to 29000 bins.
Mobile racking & shelving
Mobile Racking & Shelving System- This is my favourite shelving system in the warehouse! This is because the heavy loads on the machine moves without anyone manning it! This mobile racking and shelving system saves a lot of space and is used for fast moving goods. It has safety features to prevent any injury that may happen pertaining to the mobile racking and shelving system.
Vertical Carousel
Vertical Carousel- This vertical carousel is used only to store the medical supplies of the army. Since safety is one of their priorities the vertical carousel system also has a safety feature to it. It will prevent the user from getting hurt if the personnel were to be in the way while the system is moving.
After the whole trip, I’m amazed with the technology of the warehouse which does not require much labour and also provides safety to the workers to work in. The Army Logistic Base has truly change my impression towards the warehouses in Singapore since all the warehouse that I’ve seen all this while is traditional which uses mainly labour work.
