15 July 2025 | Q-System A/S

At Frigoscandia’s new cold storage facility, automated pallet handling plays a vital role in maintaining smooth logistics and preserving product quality. Q-System delivered a conveyor-based automation solution that reduces manual labor, enhances tracking accuracy, and ensures reliable pallet movement in both directions.

The solution in brief:
- Automated conveyor systems for inbound and outbound pallet flow
- Integrated quality control to inspect pallets and goods upon arrival
- Turntables for proper label alignment, ensuring scan visibility
- Full flow control with minimal manual intervention or delays

Inbound – quality and traceability:
- Pallets pass through an inspection zone where both goods and pallet are checked
- A turntable rotates the pallet so labels face the scanner
- This ensures traceability and compliance before entering cold storage

Outbound – ready for shipment:
- Pallets are routed automatically to the shipping area
- Labels are rotated again to face outward for quick scanning
- This ensures efficient handling at the next logistics checkpoint

Results for Frigoscandia:
- Improved pallet flow in both directions
- Consistent quality control and label orientation
- Reduced manual labor in freezing conditions
- Reliable, automated performance under demanding operations
