Windsor, Colorado, USA: Lineage has opened its latest cold store in Windsor, Colorado. The site was built for long-time customer JBS USA, a food company.
The fully automated cold store uses the latest technology to maintain the quality of food products in storage, and reduce energy consumption and food waste.
“For the past year, we’ve worked closely with JBS and the great town of Windsor to construct a state-of-the-art facility that helps strengthen JBS’s supply chain to get food on consumers’ tables, and we could not be prouder of the outcome,” said Greg Lehmkuhl, president, Lineage.
The new warehouse is designed to help lower energy consumption and reduce food waste by storing product in a denser, more energy efficient cube and automating decision-making to improve loading, unloading and storage tasks, Lineage says.
The automated cold-store has proprietary warehouse management systems, computer vision systems, algorithms, visibility platforms and machine learning capabilities.
“We are excited to celebrate this milestone in partnership with Lineage and the town of Windsor,” said Wesley Batista Filho, chief executive, JBS USA. “This facility allows us to provide high-quality food products to our customers in an increasingly efficient way using the latest technology.”
Lineage and JBS broke ground on the facility in April 2022 in partnership with the town of Windsor and Colorado Economic Development. The completed $100 million investment site spans approximately 200,000 square feet and includes more than 20,000 pallet positions.
