Blackpool Automated Shuttle Racking Installation for Mi Flues
Project Overview
NSI Projects took on full responsibility for delivering a fully integrated, automation-ready racking solution, ensuring the installation was completed safely, on time, and with minimal disruption to the client’s live environment. The primary goal was to maximise pallet capacity within the existing footprint, while introducing automation to streamline internal logistics.
NSI’s role was to manage the entire process from concept through to commissioning, while maintaining a clear focus on quality and safety throughout.
NSI Projects Solution
NSI worked closely with the MI Flues team to understand their storage requirements, warehouse layout, and handling processes.
Using this insight, NSI designed a tailored pallet racking system optimised for shuttle integration. This included managing the procurement and installation of all components, ensuring compatibility between structural elements and the automated shuttle technology. A dedicated site team oversaw the build, managing work sequencing, safety, and quality control to ensure smooth progress on site. Once the installation was complete, NSI carried out full system testing and provided training to Mi Flues’ staff, enabling a confident and efficient transition to the new system.
Result
The project was completed on schedule and to a high technical standard, delivering a step-change in warehouse performance for Mi Flues. The new system has significantly increased pallet storage density, improved picking efficiency, and reduced manual handling. With automation now embedded into their operations, MI Flues is well positioned to handle increased volumes and future growth.
