Food & Beverages

The food industry is changing fast with new products, convenience meals, organic foods and “free from” diets. Regulators and consumers want to see full Farm to Fork traceability. To compete you need a highly dynamic warehouse and distribution system to cope with higher outputs and shorter change-over times.

By minimising your order fulfilment time, an automation system in your distribution centre can help you meet the retailer’s just-in-time order requirements and the consumer’s ever-changing purchasing habits.

The challenges of running a distribution centre are magnified in the temperature controlled environment, where standard distribution equipment can’t cope with conditions. Hills Electrical Group can automate your manual storage, distribution and order picking processes, keeping employees out of the deep-freeze environment, while improving speed and accuracy.
