COOP LOGISTICS STRATEGY
![Page 5: How a major European Grocer implemented freezer warehouse …cdn.modexshow.com/seminars/assets-2018/1374.pdf · 2018-04-24 · Deep Freeze DC –Fully Automated Requirements Supply](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042203/5ea3fc0df4368507b23f1b36/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Targets for the new strategy
Reducing CO2 emissions was the key element:
• Reduce number of sites (DCs, bakeries/confectioneries)
• Optimize transport between DCs and Stores
– Distances
– Mode of transport (combined)
– Electric powered trucks

Installation and Commissioning
• New freezer versus retrofit
• Reduced footprint and higher building
– Reduces heat loss
– Improves shuttle performance
• Implementation is a longer process
• Commissioning is a 2 stage process
– Commission in ambient
– Re-commission at freezer temperature

Operational Challenges
• Vendor carton quality
• Barcode labels require special glue
• Special operator training for
low oxygen environment
![Page 30: How a major European Grocer implemented freezer warehouse …cdn.modexshow.com/seminars/assets-2018/1374.pdf · 2018-04-24 · Deep Freeze DC –Fully Automated Requirements Supply](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042203/5ea3fc0df4368507b23f1b36/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Operational Challenges
• Replacing a component in a freezer is a longer process.
– Shuttle needs to be bought out of the freezer for
maintenance
– Needs to be placed back
in the freezer and bought
down to temperature before
operation

Reduction of investment cost
• Improvement of space utilization
– Maximize cube, minimize footprint based on tall, high-density, rack-supported storage
• Flexibility
• Replacement of sprinkler system in storage/pick engine area by oxygen reduction system
![Page 43: How a major European Grocer implemented freezer warehouse …cdn.modexshow.com/seminars/assets-2018/1374.pdf · 2018-04-24 · Deep Freeze DC –Fully Automated Requirements Supply](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042203/5ea3fc0df4368507b23f1b36/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Reduction of operational cost
• Reduction in energy usage
– Any segment of the solution only is as cold as it needs to be to
reduce energy usage
• Control the loss of cold air
– By minimizing footprint and
roof size
– By controlling entrance size,
minimal contact with the
outside air is controlled
![Page 44: How a major European Grocer implemented freezer warehouse …cdn.modexshow.com/seminars/assets-2018/1374.pdf · 2018-04-24 · Deep Freeze DC –Fully Automated Requirements Supply](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042203/5ea3fc0df4368507b23f1b36/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Reduction of operational cost
• Ensure circulation of cold air in freezer storage and minimize
temperature difference
• Eliminate heat load factors such as
operators, forklifts, and lighting
![Page 45: How a major European Grocer implemented freezer warehouse …cdn.modexshow.com/seminars/assets-2018/1374.pdf · 2018-04-24 · Deep Freeze DC –Fully Automated Requirements Supply](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042203/5ea3fc0df4368507b23f1b36/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Performance and safety improvements
• Operational speed is improved by automation
• By allowing shipping, picking and other work to be conducted
outside of the freezer warehouse, the work environment is
drastically improved
• Safety is improved by eliminating
human contact within the inside
of the freezer warehouse
![Page 46: How a major European Grocer implemented freezer warehouse …cdn.modexshow.com/seminars/assets-2018/1374.pdf · 2018-04-24 · Deep Freeze DC –Fully Automated Requirements Supply](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042203/5ea3fc0df4368507b23f1b36/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Implementing shuttle-based automation
for the freezer is the key
to maximize your flexibility and
minimizing investment and
operational costs!
