iForks para pesar los tanques

Heineken suministra equipos y cerveza a los eventos. Los envíos de devolución de tanques de cerveza de 1.000 litros se pesan para determinar la cantidad de cerveza que queda en los tanques, ya que a los clientes solo se les factura la cantidad de cerveza realmente consumida. Heineken usa iForks en sus montacargas para pesar los tanques de cerveza.

Tanques de cerveza de 1.000 litros

Dependiendo de la magnitud del evento, Heineken puede proporcionar cualquier cosa, desde instalaciones de grifos de cerveza hasta equipos de bares, o incluso la infraestructura completa para un evento. Y por supuesto, cerveza. Y en los eventos, la cerveza viene en tanques de 1.000 litros.

At their facility in Oss, the Netherlands, Heineken Event Services receives return shipments of beer tanks. Rows of shining stainless steel tanks mounted in frames, are stacked two on top of each other. Forklifts offload the tanks from spotless white and green trailers and drive them inside, where the tanks are emptied of remaining beer, cleaned and refilled. Since customers are only invoiced for the amount of beer actually consumed, the amount of beer left in a tank needs to be determined. Heineken uses iForks on their forklifts to do this.

Nout van de Wiel, Warehouse Operator

”Before we started using the RAVAS iForks, determining the residual volumes in the tanks was an educated guess. It took a lot of time and we always stayed on the safe side, so we probably missed out on turnover. Now we weigh all tanks on the forklift truck that moves them around. It’s much quicker and we know exactly how much beer is returned. This saves us a lot of time, and we make more money. Next step will be to record the weight information more efficiently, for example on a PDA.”
