ILS Thailand Builds New Warehouse

January 2008

Integrated Logistics Services (ILS) Co., Ltd. is a leading 3PL provider in Thailand who provides full serviced warehouse facilities tuned to their customer needs and requirements. The business has been experiencing constant growth, hence ILS decided to relocate to a larger warehouse at Pak-Kret, just miles outside the curfew zone of Bangkok. Standing at 7,500 sqm, the new warehouse is a secured compound with flood & fire protected indoor and outdoor storage facilities for small items up to massive.

Taking into considerations the building restrictions, SSI SCHAEFER Thailand designed the warehouse with a single objective of maximizing storage capacity. The new layout integrated both the existing and new storage systems for optimized efficiency under one roof.

The warehouse is divided into 2 main areas: the ambient temperature bulk storage zone and temperature controlled picking zone. In the ambient temperature zone, Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) pallet racking of 8 metres height was installed to store up to 4,008 pallets, while shelf compartments were designed on the selective racking systems for storage of smaller carton boxes.

The temperature-controlled picking area consists of 3-tier R3000 shelving system for 900 compartments at load capacity 300 kg per sqm. SSI SCHAEFER Thailand also modified and re-installed the existing R4000 system from 2-tier to 3-tier in Pak-Kret warehouse.

The entire relocation and installations were completed by late January 2008.
