I had a trip to the Army Logistics Base located at Chua Chu Kang. It was a fruitful one and i learned many things regarding the operations in a warehouse and the different systems that are adopted and used. Also i got the see the different eqiupments that i see in books and videos being used in the real world.
Firstly, the warehouse consists of 4 levels with a lift that could transport ALL of us to every different levels.
The other thing i noticed is that the warehouse adopted a thru flow movement as loading and unloading docks are opposite of each other.
I also got to see the different storage systems being used including the vertical carousel system, mobile racking system.
There was also a laser guided vehicle in the warehouse but sadly it was under mantainence so we did not get to see how it works.
The main thing i want to touch on is the vertical carousel system in the medical supplies store as i get to see how simple it makes the job for the pickers as the picker just need to indicate in the system what he needed and the system would bring out what was indicated.
In overall, the trip was a fruitful one and i hope to be able to visit more of such warehouses again to see even more different systems being used.
