Challenges:
BBLC needed a partner with extensive automation and supply chain expertise and found one in Körber: an association that led to business growth.
Owing to the work environment conditions in the cold chain industry, BBLC faced several challenges before them. Being in the cold storage business meant dealing with health and safety issues and the lack of adequate manpower posed a big challenge for the company.
BBLC was also determined to find an eco-friendly solution that allowed them to expand operations within their limited land availability, along with reducing high energy consumption due to heat loss in their manual freezer warehouse.

- 30 meter double deep stacker cranes
- Complex multi floor conveyor and lifter system, with Goods-To-Person pallet picking
- Energy regenerative system for lower energy consumption

Benefits:
- Maximised land utilization (more pallets/sqm)
- Improved safety and health – removed the need for manual storing and putaway of goods in the freezer warehouse and created a safer work environment
- Improved operational efficiency and maintained temperature consistency in the cold chain
- Adopted technology to expand business to the next level
