For this Slipchain project, we supplied Heinz with a solution that helped improve their productivity during a period of increase in product demand.

The Heinz production site is responsible for some of our favourite products; beans, spaghetti and tomato soup. Their production site then passes on these goods to the national distribution centre to distribute these goods and others to the UK's national supermarket chains.

introducing Heinz

The Challenge

increased in demand

increasing demand, diversification and changing lifestyles led to an increase in the product portfolio. The 2 Slipchain docks installed over 12 years ago did not have sufficient capacity to keep up with the increase in demand.

The Solution

slipchain

Having benefitted from the productivity increases an Automated Loading System offers, Heinz knew there was only one place to go. A further Slipchain loading dock was added at the site to increase capacity. The system can handle up to 30 pallets per load, with the trailers being loaded and unloaded in 2 minutes. 4 Slipchain shuttle trailers travel between production and the national distribution centre, a distance of 1/2 mile.
