Food & Beverage
Heavy, fast-moving product with dates, lots, and temperatures to respect.
The Challenge
Heavy cases, tight dates, constant forklift traffic
Food and beverage operations move heavy cases and full pallets at high volume, often with few SKUs per order but strict rules on rotation and traceability. Every case lifted by hand is a strain risk, and every forklift crossing is a safety risk.
Where Automation Pays Off
Solutions for Food & Beverage
The systems DeRosa integrates most often in this industry, and why they fit.
Trailer Loading & Unloading
Raises and lowers to every layer of the load, so heavy cases are never lifted from the floor or above the shoulder.

Automated Shuttle Racking
Shuttle and drive-in racking store many pallets of each SKU deep, with first-in, first-out rotation.

AGVs & AMRs
Autonomous forklifts run repetitive pallet moves from production or receiving to storage around the clock.
Explore →
Projection Systems
Projected walkways and STOP signs at docks and crossings, unaffected by washdowns and wet floors.
