Your Challenges – Our Solutions

Packaged food manufacturers face significant challenges:

• Changing buying patterns: In addition to fresh products, customers expect a wide range of products, i.e. many different products in significantly smaller order quantities
• Increasingly stringent environmental regulations: Products come with less packaging, making picking and handling more difficult

Automated intralogistics offers many advantages:

• Stock turnover and order quantity transparency: ability to plan safety stock results in smaller inventories
• Standardized packaging and picking units increase efficiency by eliminating time-consuming warehousing – delivered products can be sorted at the point of sale without further handling or buffering
• Optimized utilization of personnel and increased efficiency thanks to fully automated picking solutions for rapid and accurate order fulfillment
• Improved throughput and faster picking of packaged foods
• Continuous order tracking and product identification across the entire supply chain (Electronic Data Interchange – EDI/VMI)
