Présentation du Projet

Ce projet à Wuhan pour HanRiver Food Manufacturing portait sur a food processing facility managing packaging materials, ingredients, finished cartons, and temperature-sensitive batch inventory. L’objectif n’était pas seulement d’ajouter des rayonnages, mais de créer un système améliorant capacité, sécurité et vitesse d’exploitation.

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.

Client et Contexte du Marché

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.

Le Défi

Le principal défi était 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.

Solution d’Ingénierie

La solution retenue fut 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.

Installation et Livraison

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.

Impact Commercial

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.

Les indicateurs clés sont 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.

Valeur à Long Terme

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.

Pour Runda Rack, ce cas démontre que chaque site exige une conception spécifique, et non une spécification générique.
