As our first project with this repeat client, we built a strong working relationship at the site level, setting the stage for future collaboration. In Phase 2, our team successfully connected a 9-level system to the existing Phase 1 while keeping operations running. The installation included two AIBs, six AOBs, one MIB, and five FLIBs, with a night-time shutdown to incorporate new steel.

To meet the warehouse tenant’s operational needs, our team executed the FLIB mezzanine installation overnight, completing the platform in a single shift. We also streamlined inventory handling by enhancing communication and tracking with the installation teams.

Our team successfully connected a 10-level system to the Phase 1 structure while maintaining facility operations. The installation included two AIBs, six AOBs, one MIB, five FLIBs, and two drain lines, with a strategic night-time shutdown to incorporate new steel. The Quality Assurance Team conducted 3,318 install validations, achieving a 100% completion rate.

To overcome limited laydown space, we used rock instead of asphalt, ensuring a safe, smooth area by collaborating with the general contractor. When material deliveries accelerated, we adjusted by using Product Aisle space for front-end equipment. Our team also helped resolve a design flaw with the main product transfer point, staying over 30 days past de-mobilization to ensure a proper solution. The engaged site owner and successful FLIB install marked key milestones, demonstrating our adaptability and collaboration in meeting client needs while maintaining seamless operations.

AIM successfully completed Phase 1 installation of a 10-level system, including AIBs, AOBs, Drain Lines, and MIBs in a fully operating facility. Despite occasional material shortages, the team ensured smooth progress through excellent communication and daily calls. AIM’s Quality Assurance Team conducted 2,906 install validations, ensuring accuracy per client requirements.

AIM provided valuable on-site guidance, proactively addressing inventory concerns by placing additional orders. Despite challenges, Quality Assurance and Control remained a priority, with a strategic approach increasing the validation acceptance rate by 28.2% over our first site. The tenant’s GC was highly engaged, fostering strong collaboration. The team’s adaptability ensured a successful installation, setting a strong foundation for future phases.

AIM completed the 100,000 SF automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS) in Joliet, IL, meeting schedule and client expectations. The project included full installation of racking, conveyors, and automation equipment, as well as rear access construction to support operational efficiency.
