Overview
In March 2015, JLR unveiled plans to invest £600m to enhance the capacity of its UK manufacturing centres. Part of this new infrastructure involved the construction of two industrial buildings, totalling 64,000 sq.m. in Castle Bromwich. The Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS) and the Integrated Logistics Centre (ILC) are designed to store incoming parts before being sequenced and transported to the production line. Both buildings are steel-framed single-storey warehouses 15m in height, although the ‘high-bay’ area of the ASRS rises to 30m to accommodate the retrieval system.
