Project Background
The customer operates a manufacturing and distribution facility in northern Vietnam. With increasing production volume and expanding logistics operations, the existing warehouse layout could no longer support the required storage capacity or workflow efficiency.
The client needed a solution that could:
-
Increase pallet storage capacity
-
Improve warehouse organization
-
Prepare the warehouse for automated logistics equipment
-
Ensure fast and reliable pallet handling
After evaluating the warehouse structure and logistics process, the project adopted a Selective Pallet Racking System combined with AGV transport.
Warehouse Storage Design
The installed system provides approximately 5000 pallet positions, organized in multiple rows of heavy-duty pallet racking.
Selective pallet racking was chosen for several reasons:
-
Direct access to every pallet position
-
Compatibility with automated guided vehicles (AGVs)
-
High flexibility for different pallet sizes
-
Easy future expansion
Each racking bay was designed according to the customer's pallet specifications and load requirements. The structure uses high-strength upright frames and reinforced beams, ensuring both stability and safety during daily warehouse operations.
The layout also maintains sufficient aisle width to support AGV navigation and pallet handling.
Integration with AGV Warehouse Operations
To further optimize warehouse efficiency, the system was designed to work together with Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs).
AGVs are responsible for transporting pallets between:
-
Production areas
-
Storage racks
-
Sorting and shipping zones
Compared with traditional forklift operations, AGVs offer several advantages:
-
Reduced labor requirements
-
Improved transportation efficiency
-
Consistent and predictable movement paths
-
Increased operational safety
By combining selective pallet racking with AGV technology, the warehouse achieves both flexibility and automation readiness.
On-Site Installation Support
For large international projects, installation quality is critical to system performance and safety.
After manufacturing the racking system in our factory, our technical engineers traveled to Vietnam to guide the on-site installation process. The team worked closely with the local installation crew to ensure that every component was assembled according to design specifications.
Key tasks during installation included:
-
Upright frame alignment and anchoring
-
Beam level installation and load verification
-
Rack structure stability inspection
-
Safety clearance checks for AGV operation
With the support of our engineers, the installation process progressed smoothly and efficiently.
Project Results
Once completed, the new warehouse racking system significantly improved the client's storage capability and operational workflow.
Key improvements include:
-
Approximately 5000 pallet positions created
-
Optimized warehouse layout and space utilization
-
Compatibility with AGV automated transport
-
Faster pallet handling and reduced manual labor
The project demonstrates how modern pallet racking systems can support both traditional warehouse storage and emerging automation technologies.
Supporting Warehouse Growth in Southeast Asia
Vietnam continues to attract global manufacturing and logistics investments. Efficient warehouse infrastructure is becoming a key factor for companies operating in this rapidly developing market.
Through this project in Bac Ninh Province, our team helped the customer build a warehouse system that combines strong storage capacity, operational flexibility, and automation readiness.
As more companies adopt smart logistics solutions, the integration of pallet racking systems with AGV and automation equipment will become an important trend in warehouse design.
