Pocket sorter
New logistics solution at Digitec Galaxus
As Switzerland's largest online retailer, Digitec Galaxus claims to stock almost everything for almost everyone, with around 7 million products. The Operations Center in Wohlen is now being equipped with the Ferag-Skyfall pocket sorter.
Pocket sorter enables significantly larger picking volumes
The new solution marks an important step for the company to ensure an increased picking volume in the near future. Initial contact with the Digitec Galaxus project team at the Logimat trade fair in 2022 heralded the new partnership between the Swiss online retailer and the intralogistics specialist. The project was named "Super Booster" in reference to the considerable increase in performance that it means for Digitec Galaxus and was developed over a period of one and a half years in close collaboration.
At least 1.3 million parcels per month from 2025
The solution has it all: conveying, buffering, sorting and picking are all functions that Digitec Galaxus will perform in future with maximum throughput thanks to Ferag Skyfall. At least 1.3 million parcels will leave the warehouse every month from 2025. Ferag's expertise and Digitec Galaxus' clear specifications formed the basis for this pioneering step. The integration of the Ferag Skyfall pocket sorter into the existing, complex material flow systems in Wohlen represented a significant challenge, which was mastered by both sides with comprehensive expertise.
"Just in time for the start of the year, two traditional companies are sending out an important signal for Switzerland's economic landscape," says Tommaso Ramundo, CEO Ferag. "The launch of the Ferag Skyfall bag sorter is a milestone for both companies, underlining the efficiency and performance of the Digitec Galaxus logistics solution."
