Sysco Corporation // COR E STR ENGTHS / 2011 Annual Report

Inside a Sysco Warehouse
Our warehouses are models of efficiency.
Warehouse layout, lighting, equipment,
technology and processes are designed to
help us receive, store and deliver products
with minimum waste and maximum safety,
accuracy and efficiency.
Technology creates a
path forward
Radio frequency scanning technology
directs warehouse personnel on
the most efficient path to select and
stage product for delivery. In our next
RDC, product storage and retrieval
will be completely automated.
Trucks are
mini-warehouses
Our delivery trucks also
have flexible temperature
zones and are loaded according
to the planned delivery route.

Temperature zones create micro-climates
In the warehouse cooler, multiple variable tempera-
ture zones create the right environment for produce,
dairy and other types of cool-storage products while
conserving energy. Newer warehouse coolers have
flexible walls between temperature zones, providing
the ability to adjust zones if needed.
