Nilkamal Shuttle Racking System – Textile Manufacturing Industry

In 2018, The Nilkamal Sales Team in Vilayat, Bharuch, sold a custom-made ADD SAT Shuttle Racking System to a well-established company in Bharuch.

It started as a textile manufacturer in India in 1947. Today, it is a leading global player in VSF. The company entered into the Chemicals business to manufacture Caustic Soda, an input for VSF. The business has grown multi-fold, and today the company is the largest caustic soda producer in India, with a capacity of 938 KTPA in FY18. It also produces a range of chlorine derivative products and epoxy. Further to an inquiry and a layout drawing we received from the IP salesperson in January 2018, our first meeting with the company was held in February 2018, wherein we presented Nilkamal as a one-stop solution for warehousing & material handling needs. Prior to this meeting, we had noticed that when the drawing was submitted that the customer was not aware of the different solutions which would be implemented. Their existing process was of ground block storage with required self-stacking, as pallet placement requires skill and judgement. Hence the operations were slow, which in turn reduced the overall throughput of the warehouse. Due to the existing process, the customer was not able to store more than 600 pallet locations, and they also had to deal with identifying the products due to the manual block stacking. After carefully studying the problem, we proposed the solution of: a. SAT ADD Shuttle Racking System, which will increase storage, the speed of selection of pallets and reduce the costs and damages.
