As consumer demand for fresh dairy products continues to grow, food and dairy manufacturers are facing increasing pressure to improve production efficiency, inventory turnover, and supply chain responsiveness. Traditional warehousing methods can no longer support the high-frequency logistics requirements and strict storage standards required by modern dairy production.
This project serves a well-known dairy enterprise established in 1992, recognized as one of the most influential regional dairy brands in China and trusted by millions of consumers for decades. With daily liquid milk production exceeding 1,200 tons, the company has continuously expanded its market presence while promoting the concept of “limited production area milk” to enhance product quality and freshness nationwide.
To support rapid business growth and intelligent manufacturing upgrades, the company partnered with ZIKOO Intelligent to build a next-generation Four-way Pallet Shuttle Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS), creating a high-density and highly automated Automatic 3D warehouse for dairy product storage and distribution.
The warehouse adopts a five-level racking structure with a net storage height of 13 meters and approximately 10,000 pallet locations. The system maximizes vertical space utilization and significantly improves Dense Storage efficiency.
The intelligent warehouse can accommodate up to 1.5 million cases of finished liquid milk products. Each pallet stores more than 100 cartons, with a cargo height of 2.1 meters and a maximum load capacity of 1.2 tons.
Compared with traditional floor-stacking warehouses, the Automatic 3D warehouse increases space utilization efficiency by approximately 3 to 4 times, greatly reducing warehouse footprint requirements.
The system supports 24-hour continuous inbound and outbound operations, enabling fast and stable handling of dairy products during peak production and delivery periods.
ZIKOO Intelligent delivered a fully integrated intelligent warehousing solution combining advanced hardware systems, intelligent software platforms, and digital warehouse visualization technologies.

The intelligent ASRS system fully utilizes vertical storage space, dramatically increasing overall storage density and warehouse capacity.
Automated handling and intelligent scheduling improved warehouse throughput while reducing manual intervention and operational delays.
The automated warehouse reduced dependence on manual labor, lowered operational risks, and improved long-term warehouse cost efficiency.
The integration of intelligent warehousing, automated palletizing, and production coordination significantly improved supply chain responsiveness and lean manufacturing capabilities.
The project established a scalable smart warehousing model for the food and dairy industry, providing valuable reference experience for future warehouse upgrades across multiple production bases.
Through the successful implementation of this intelligent Four-way Pallet Shuttle ASRS project, ZIKOO Intelligent helped the dairy enterprise build a highly automated, high-density, and intelligent Automatic 3D warehouse capable of supporting continuous 24-hour logistics operations.
The project greatly improved warehouse efficiency, optimized inventory management, and reduced operational costs while enhancing the overall intelligence level of the supply chain.
As the food and dairy industry continues advancing toward smart manufacturing and digital transformation, ZIKOO remains committed to delivering innovative Dense Storage and intelligent warehouse automation solutions that empower global customers to achieve safer, smarter, and more efficient logistics operations.
