ONE SYSTEM, ENGINEERED AROUND FRUIT RIPENING
Banana ripening is not a standard storage process. Pallet movement, chamber loading, airflow, throughput and system control all need to operate together.
For Compagnie Fruitière in London, Moffett Automation designed, built, controls and supports a complete automated pallet storage system around this specialised operation.
The integrated system combines purpose-designed features:
🔹 Pressed zero-gap storage designed around the required airflow
🔹 Airtight ripening chambers integrated into the automated process
🔹 Moffett Automation WCS intelligence controlling pallet storage, traffic and route scheduling
The result is physical automation and software-driven intelligence operating as one system, controlling and coordinating every pallet movement.
Together, they manage one continuous journey - from arrival and ripening through to storage and dispatch.
The system incorporates 1,800 pallet locations, 8 Moffett Automation Taxis and 2 Vertical Transfer Units, supporting inbound and outbound throughput of 42 pallets per hour.
Operational since 2021, the project demonstrates what Moffett Automation means by an integrated system: automation engineered around the customer’s operation, with clear responsibility from physical movement through to intelligent control.
