[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 5035427, member: 1"] [B]UPS Expands Facility with Automation - Supply Chain Management Review The parcel carrier used a turnkey automation solution to increase the hub by 1 million square feet.[/B] When global parcel carrier [URL='https://www.ups.com/us/en/global.page']UPS[/URL] opened its Louisville Centennial Ground Operations Hub in 2007, the company already planned to expand and modernize the 257,000-square-foot facility. Originally built for loading delivery vans that conduct metro-area deliveries, the facility processed 39,000 packages per hour. By 2013, UPS had marked Centennial for modernization to handle rising e-commerce shipping volumes, featuring a significant expansion and shift from older equipment to new, fully automated systems. UPS selected a single-source provider of turnkey materials handling automation solutions, because it offered a solution featuring conveyors and sorters throughout the facility, which would expand to 1 million square feet. However, with papers signed and the plan underway, challenges emerged that forced the solutions provider and internal UPS resources to adapt. [/QUOTE]
