For the realization of a logistics center for a North American food retailer, SGS is responsible for the mechanical assembly of conveyor systems on behalf of the WITRON Group. In collaboration with numerous other trades, our #SGSteam is assembling a multi-kilometer conveyor system. The scope of work also includes the installation of automatic winder, depalletizers, and fully automated WITRON Case Order Machines (COMs). The project is scheduled for completion by the end of 2024.

Installation across seven levels

The installation spans seven steel platform levels, which are constructed in parallel with the conveyor systems. This simultaneous construction requires continuous coordination with WITRON and other trades to ensure smooth workflows. Our team strategically lifts the conveyor components into the respective levels, ensuring optimal efficiency during the assembly process.

Challenges

The special challenge of this project is the parallel construction of the steel platform structures alongside the conveyor system installation. This necessitates constant communication with other trades to maintain seamless operations. Our teams must ensure that future construction phases remain accessible at all times while lifting and assembling the conveyor equipment across multiple levels.

Additionally, the compact design of the distribution center requires precise coordination of all resources to ensure the smooth and timely execution of the installation.
