Boosting Whiskey Storage & Production Through Cutting-Edge Automation

To meet rising demand for whiskey, a distiller needed to expand production capacity while improving safety and adapting to labor shortages. Their traditional, manual racking system couldn't support growth and posed safety risks, especially with employees sampling barrels at elevated levels.

Muratec proposed a custom, rack-supported building (RSB) with a high-density storage and Goods-to-Person (G2P) system, where barrels are delivered directly to operators. The custom system included a load handler for safer barrel sampling, 2-deep storage, and integrated cameras for remote inspections.
