Solutions for COVID-19 Restrictions

The first week of September, I had the pleasure of joining Ali Chitaz and a Matcom crew at a new distribution site. Matcom was hired by a European company that required Canadian assistance on this sizeable project. During these times, Matcom was able to provide a solution for COVID-19 restrictions.

Entering the site, I was greeted by an endless warehouse (soon to be freezer). This distribution site will function as a 'smart' warehouse; all of the products will have unique barcodes that can be identified by smart technologies. Any grocery store within the chain in need of a certain product can notify the distribution site. From there, conveyors and elevators work harmoniously to transport these products from their freezer to a loading dock.

Our team was working hard assembling the equipment. These systems were being assembled with such precision so that if need be, they could shift a few millimeters to the right or left. The Matcom crew, as always, effectively cooperated with the other company’s crews on site. On a personal note, it was warming to see how friendly the crew was with me and each other. Thank you for showing me around and explaining all the functions of this project.  This was a good look at the 'before' shot of the project. Overall the site is coming along very well. In about 6 months, I will head back to get a better look at the final product!
