Chilled Storage

Stobart’s fast throughput chilled storage operations are recognised as among the best in the industry.  The facilities, which are strategically located close to the UK’s motorway network, operate on a 24/7 - 365 basis and are fully integrated with Stobart’s systems using a combination of Biz Talk and Webmethods integration middleware.

 

Each site can deliver numerous services to customers including Pick to Zero, Bulk Pick, Case Pick, Catch Weight, Pallet Storage and the like, and operate on a ‘day one for day one’, or a ‘day one for day two’ basis.

The major governing criteria when operating a chilled warehouse in such a time-sensitive, short lead-time supply chain is ‘Date Rotation’. The exceptional levels of Stobart traceability provided by its DWMS system means rotation can be managed down to batch or lot level - with full traceability and recall capability.

The Group’s facilities are multi-purpose and comprise Stock held, Cross dock, Consol point, Samples, and WIP; are fully EFSIS approved and accredited; and operate on multi-temperature regimes from 0°C to +3°C and 0°C to -2°C.
