Automated Intralogistics and efficient picking systems for supermarket logistics
Back
Quality, fast delivery, and food loss reduction – these are the challenges faced by supermarket logisticians.
- How can storage capacities and productivity be increased?
- How do we keep operations running when facing a shortage of labor?
- How can we reduce operating costs against surging energy and other prices?
These questions are answered by the Japanese material handling expert Daifuku and it’s partner company, ULMA, at LogiMAT 2024. Join us in Hall 3, Booth 3D31, to see our global solution competence in mixed-case palletizing and cold chain automated material handling systems.
The key success factors in food and cold chain logistics, which also apply to all food retail sector intralogistics, are automation and efficient delivery.
Automation solves labor shortages by removing the need for personnel to be in the challenging cold environment; delivers faster order preparation; helps prevent food loss often brought on by bad inventory management; improves energy efficiency by maintaining cold air flow and minimizing loss; and delivers greater efficiency that can run 24 hours a day.
Automation helps achieve efficient delivery by supporting a range of material handling operations, such as replenishment storage, de-palletization, collation storage, palletizing (mixed case palletizing), and sequential and grouped shipping. This results in automatically sequenced and optimally dimensioned pallet loads that reduce transport volume and streamline operations.
Daifuku’s and ULMA’s automated technology can be used in ambient, chilled, and frozen storage areas to take your logistics operations to the next level.
“Needs for better efficiency in cold chain logistics can be achieved with automation. We welcome all people to visit our booth at LogiMAT and discuss their material handling challenges with us”, commented Thomas Balluff, general manager of Daifuku Europe.
