Logimat 2024
Picking systems for supermarket logistics
Quality, fast delivery and reducing food loss - these are the challenges facing supermarket logistics companies. The key to the solution is automation, as Daifuku will be demonstrating at Logimat 2024.
Increasing storage capacity and productivity, maintaining operations despite labor shortages, reducing operating costs in the face of rising energy prices - these are the challenges that Japanese materials handling expert Daifuku is tackling together with its Spanish-based partner company Ulma. They will be demonstrating their global solution expertise in the field of automatic palletizing of mixed pallets and material flow systems for the cold chain.
The key factors for success in food and cold chain logistics, which also apply to intralogistics across the food retail sector, are automation and efficient delivery. Automation solves labor shortages by eliminating the need for personnel in the demanding cold environment. Automation speeds up order preparation. It also helps to prevent food loss and increase overall efficiency.
Automation contributes to efficient delivery by supporting many material flow operations, such as replenishment, palletizing, order consolidation, mixed pallet formation, and sequenced and grouped shipping. This results in automatically sequenced and optimally sized pallet loads that reduce transport volumes and optimize operations. Daifuku and Ulma's automated technology can be used in ambient, refrigerated and frozen storage areas.
