High tech warehouse
Innnes, the leading importer and wholesaler of high-quality food products in Iceland, is building a new distribution center in Reykjavik. The new warehouse will apart from an office area have 3 different temperature zones for food storage: deep-freeze (-25 °C), fresh and dried products. The warehouse will run with a combination of manual and automated systems with the use of advanced conveyors and full-automatic shuttle solutions. Most of the automation will be used in the deep-freeze and dried goods area.
The building with 140x60x33 m outer geometry made of steel and in-situ concrete structure will offer/accommodate 15,055 m² of usage area.
