LATHROP, Calif - Raymond West Intralogistics Solutions, a leader in material handling and logistics automation, has implemented state-of-the-art automation solutions for PRISM Logistics, a leading Northern California third-party logistics (3PL) provider, at its Lathrop, California distribution center. This strategic investment marks a significant leap forward in targeted automation for operational efficiency
The Challenge: Future-Proofing Operations
Rather than reacting to immediate operational pressures of a traditional warehouse, PRISM took a proactive stance, aiming to optimize space utilization, reduce labor demands, and eliminate inefficiencies before they became bottlenecks. With Raymond West’s input, the company identified repetitive, non-value-added travel time in its warehouse setup as a key area for improvement.
The Solution: Smart Automation with Raymond West
PRISM’s transformation included the deployment of several advanced solutions:
- Standard and Pushback Racking for enhanced storage space efficiency
- Stand-up Forklifts to improve maneuverability
- Muratec Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) for automated pallet transport
- Radioshuttle Semi-Automatic Pallet Shuttle System to maximize throughput and space efficiency
Raymond West’s signature Radioshuttle system in particular marks a significant leap forward, offering greater storage density and enabling PRISM to dramatically reduce forklift travel time and increase overall warehouse productivity.
The Result: Efficiency Gains and Strategic Impact
These advanced automation solutions are expected to yield significant benefits:
- Maximize space efficiency
- Reduce manual labor requirements
- Eliminate wasted travel time
- Invest in long-term scalability and efficiency
President of PRISM Logistics, Jeremy Van Puffelen, states: “Our partnership with Raymond West has been instrumental in helping us evolve from a traditional warehouse operation to a future-ready logistics provider. Their team not only brought us cutting-edge solutions like AGVs and Radioshuttle, but also the expertise to strategically implement them. It’s not just about short-term ROI – it’s about building smarter, more scalable operations for the long haul. Raymond West continues to be a trusted partner in that journey.”
Raymond West Intralogistics Solutions showcased its dedication to advancing warehouse automation through a forward-thinking approach to this project, delivering tailored solutions that meet the complex demands of modern distribution environments.
