Resumen del Proyecto

Este proyecto en Wuhan para HanRiver Food Manufacturing se centró en a food processing facility managing packaging materials, ingredients, finished cartons, and temperature-sensitive batch inventory. El objetivo no era solo instalar más estanterías, sino crear un sistema que mejorara capacidad, seguridad y velocidad operativa.

Runda Rack reviewed the movement of goods, staff routines, available space, load requirements, and the points where time was being lost. The final design focused on hygienic racking layouts, FIFO flow, cleaning access, batch separation, and clear cold-room versus ambient storage rules.

Cliente y Contexto del Mercado

In China’s dense commercial and industrial environment, every square metre must work harder. HanRiver Food Manufacturing needed a rack system that could support change, reduce daily friction, and remain clear for staff, shoppers, inspectors, or forklift operators.

The project therefore required more than standard shelving. It needed a layout logic that could support seasonal changes, campaign peaks, replenishment, cleaning, audit control, and future expansion.

El Reto

El reto principal fue que food safety audits required better separation between raw materials, packaging, and finished goods, while older racks blocked cleaning access near walls and floor drains. This issue affected productivity, safety, inventory control, and the quality of presentation or storage.

The site also had to keep operating. Existing stock, deliveries, customers, forklifts, production shifts, or sanitation windows had to be respected during installation.

Solución de Ingeniería

La solución fue dedicated hygiene aisles, raised lower beams, washable shelf surfaces, batch-label rails, and a FIFO route connecting processing, quarantine, and dispatch. Heights, depths, finishes, protection accessories, and label positions were selected according to the real flow of products and materials.

The layout separated high-frequency and low-frequency areas, clarified display, reserve, inspection, and dispatch positions, and reinforced zones exposed to impact, humidity, or heavy handling.

Instalación y Entrega

Installation was planned around sanitation shutdowns; racks near production entries were completed first so quality teams could validate cleaning procedures. Components were sorted by zone and numbered so installation crews could move quickly from unloading to assembly.

Critical areas were completed first. After each phase, the team checked replenishment, picking, cleaning, customer circulation, or forklift routes before migrating the next zone.

Impacto Comercial

Operators can trace batches faster, clean underneath storage positions, and prevent packaging materials from crossing into ingredient zones. The result was not only more capacity, but better control of the whole operating environment.

Los indicadores clave fueron Batch Traceability +44%, Cleaning Time -29%, FIFO Compliance 100%. These figures show that storage capacity becomes valuable only when teams can use it quickly, safely, and consistently.

Valor a Largo Plazo

The system strengthens audit readiness and daily discipline, helping HanRiver support larger orders without compromising hygiene control. The client now has a clearer standard for future upgrades and site planning.

Para Runda Rack, este caso confirma que cada entorno requiere una lectura específica del sitio, no una especificación genérica.
