New England Cold Storage has partnered with ARCO Design Build to create a brand new facility that combines the latest technologies with a super-insulated building envelope in order to minimize energy usage and maximize thermal efficiency.
Inside you will find two large freezer rooms, and an ample convertible room that can be used for refrigerated or frozen space. This flexible layout allows us to operate three distinct temperature zones, and allows for specialized value-add operations such as case or layer selection and flash freezing.
An efficient, 65′ deep dock with 15 dock doors and vertical levelers allows for efficient staging, loading and unloading of trucks while minimizing product temperature variations.
All of this will be controlled by industry-leading Wise Warehouse Management Software to virtually eliminate order picking and putaway mistakes. This software will provide real-time insight into your inventory, with robust and dynamic reporting available through our web portal or through automatic emails on a schedule you choose.
New England Cold Storage’s new facility will feature a flexible layout with 3 separate temperature zones. With a total building area of 120,662 sq. ft. and approximately 95,000 sq. ft. of frozen storage in 3 temperature zones including a convertible storage zone – we are prepared to handle multiple situations with ease.
By utilizing high-density mobile racking in our two freezer rooms and double-deep racking in the convertible room we are able to provide a approximately 25,000 total pallet positions. Our 46-50 foot top-of-product heights allow us to provide flexible pallet opening heights, up to 96″ – which reduces the time spent breaking down taller pallets and re-assembling them for shipping.
Integrating our mobile racking with the Wise WMS will allow for reduced picking and packing errors, reduced product damage, and improved automation for quicker shipping and receiving.
New England Cold Storage has chosen ARCO Design/Build as our partner to complete the construction of our new facility.
