YORK, Pa.–Premium Waters, Inc. of Minneapolis, MN, a leader in the private label bottled water industry, has ordered an Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (AS/RS) and Savanna.NET® Warehouse Management System (WMS) from Westfalia Technologies, Inc. of York, PA.

 

Premium Waters, solely owned by the Chesterman Company who has been in the bottling business for over 130 years, bottles water for commercial, residential and retail clients in multiple sizes ranging from single servings to five gallon bottles. The company is also known for bottling public brands, including Chippewa Spring and Premium Kandiyhoi, plus private labels for store and custom label bottled water.

 

Premium Waters chose the AS/RS for its technological efficiency and cost benefits, after initially considering a pallet flow system. The AS/RS, slated for installation at Premium’s Douglas, GA plant, includes two Storage/Retrieval Machines (SRMs). 

 

Westfalia’s Savanna.NET will accurately track the inventory and FIFO product shipments. Savanna.NET is a modular WMS software system, and can be adapted to existing or new systems. The tabbed data grid view eliminates the need for complicated menus or layers, and is based on actual objects rather than actions, making the user interface experience much simpler and more rewarding.

 

Savanna.NET was designed using Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and Version 2.0 of the Microsoft .NET Framework. It can be readily adapted to all  ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) and PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) systems so that all existing technology/hardware and hardware/software interfaces can be fully networked.
