Varian had been using basic material handling equipment but needed to solve many design and functionality challenges they were facing in their warehouse. They also needed a new Green Field in Tijuana, Mexico, to support their US manufacturing operations. McMurray Stern took Varian Healthcare’s unique needs and designed a strategic concept to provide a complete turnkey solution for their entire space.
The solution included installing advanced material handling equipment, which helped Varian improve efficiency and productivity in their warehouse. In addition, McMurray Stern supported the construction of the new facility in Tijuana, ensuring that the project was completed on time and within budget. Thanks to the comprehensive solution McMurray Stern provided, Varian Healthcare can operate more effectively and efficiently in its US and Mexican facilities.
McMurray Stern’s storage design experts crafted a storage solution fit for Varian Healthcare’s unique needs. The project was a greenfield build and was designed based on CAD drawings of the space.
Varian Healthcare’s hybrid design-build project consisted of 126 sections of light-duty storage racks on the deck of a mezzanine, which straddled all of the building’s mechanical HVAC equipment to take advantage of unused vertical space.
The storage design included 115 sections of 20’ tall, heavy-duty pallet racking and a custom-designed 28’ tall – 158” wide (VLM) SSI Schaefer Vertical Lift Module. We also integrated WAMAS order handling software to integrate seamlessly with their SAP system for real-time inventory accuracy, picking, and performance.
In collaboration with the Varian Healthcare team, McMurray Stern created a beautifully designed space with a process-efficient layout considering Varian’s unique workflow requirements and allowing for a significant growth factor. As a result, the new Tijuana facility has become Varian’s flagship warehouse design.
