Customizing Automated Solutions for Unique Industry Needs

In an era where efficiency, accuracy, and speed define success, businesses across industries turn to automation to stay competitive. But automation isn't one-size-fits-all—different industries have unique challenges that demand tailored solutions. At McMurray Stern, we specialize in designing customized automated systems that enhance productivity, optimize space, and improve operational efficiency across various sectors, including pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, and e-commerce.

Pharmaceuticals: Precision, Compliance, and Security

Pharmaceutical storage and distribution require stringent regulatory compliance, temperature control, and precise inventory tracking. Automated solutions help eliminate human error, ensure product integrity, and enhance security in handling sensitive medications and medical devices.

• Vertical Lift Modules (VLMs) maximize storage while maintaining an organized, contamination-free environment.
• Robotic picking systems ensure high accuracy and reduce manual handling risks.
• Automated inventory tracking helps businesses meet strict compliance regulations while reducing waste.

Companies can streamline fulfillment processes by implementing pharmaceutical-grade automated storage solutions while ensuring critical medications and supplies reach their destinations safely and efficiently.

Food & Beverage: Maximizing Freshness and Efficiency

The food and beverage industry operates on tight deadlines, with perishable products requiring fast, efficient handling and strict environmental controls. McMurray Stern's automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) keep up with these demands by enhancing inventory visibility, minimizing waste, and optimizing cold storage space.

• High-density storage solutions maximize available space in temperature-controlled environments.
• Conveyor and robotic picking systems streamline order fulfillment, ensuring speed and accuracy.
• Automated track-and-trace systems enhance food safety by providing real-time inventory insights.

With automation designed for food safety and efficiency, companies can reduce waste, improve order fulfillment speed, and maintain product integrity from warehouse to consumer.

E-Commerce: Scaling to Meet Growing Demand

The rapid growth of e-commerce means businesses need scalable, high-speed fulfillment solutions to keep up with rising customer expectations. From micro-fulfillment centers to large-scale distribution hubs, automation is key to improving order accuracy, reducing labor costs, and accelerating shipping times.

• Goods-to-person technology speeds up picking while minimizing worker fatigue.
