Zekelman Industries announced plans to build a fully automated warehouse at its Wheatland Tube facility in Warren, Ohio. The 83,000-square foot, 65-foot-high warehouse is scheduled to begin operating in December 2022. The warehouse will be built by the engineering, procurement and construction innovator, Matter Automatic Warehouses. The new warehouse will convey pipe from the production lines of the manufacturing facility into the warehouse storage system. From there, pipe is automatically moved out of storage to an enclosed truck loading area with minimal team interaction. The touchless product handling enabled by these automated systems will significantly increase safety and shipping capacity, while eliminating product damage.
