Vaughans is nearing completion of a 32m highbay facility for PepsiCo. The facility is located adjacent to Smith’s current manufacturing site in Regency Park, South Australia.

Smith’s is one of the first companies in Australia to embark on a highbay with this level of specialised automation. Once completed, this facility will be equipped with 24/7 robotic collection and storage.

Vaughans has strategically planned the delivery so that Smiths remains fully operational throughout the construction phase with completion due this year.

“The trend, to reach for the sky, is driven by high land prices, the constraints of existing sites, and the efficiencies provided by advances in technology and new warehouse management software”

said Vaughan Constructions’ Director and General Manager, Andrew Noble.
