Case Study
Miller Industries: Streamlining Parts Storage and Boosting Efficiency
Solution:
8 Kardex Shuttle XPs, Pallet Rack Crane, Movable Racking Systems
Focus:
Production & Service Parts Storage
The Challenge
Miller Industries faced slow, labor-intensive part retrieval from high-bay pallet racks using fork trucks and carts. Growing SKU volume created congestion, inventory inaccuracies, and the potential need for a costly $2.2M warehouse expansion.
The AMH Solution
AMH implemented a high-density automated storage and retrieval system featuring 8 Kardex Shuttle XPs, a Pallet Rack Crane, and 4 Double-Faced Movable Racks, all integrated with Kardex Power Pick Global Software and Miller’s WMS.
The system centralized small and large parts storage, reduced manual handling, and enabled paperless, automated picking.
