When Americold needed to expand its facility space to better serve regional customers from its Indianapolis, Ind., the Atlanta-based third-party logistics (3PL) provider of temperature-controlled warehousing and logistics services to the food industry looked up.
“Having previously expanded a conventional warehouse on this property, we had essentially run out of space to build out,” says David Bridger, Americold’s AS/RS operations manager at the Indianapolis location. “So, in 2011, we worked with viastore systems to design and build a 110-foot-tall rack-supported building with a conveyor-fed pallet handling automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS) to utilize the vertical space.”
