Operational efficiency

Optimized logistics processes for fast, accurate, and effective order management.

Flexible logistics

Scalable and modular solutions to adapt to market peaks and changes.

Sustainability and innovation

Automation and advanced technologies to reduce environmental impact and improve work conditions.

The challenge

Pengo faced the need to increase storage capacity and improve inventory management in a progressively complex global supply chain environment. The challenge was not only to expand the space, but to do so with efficiency, traceability, and sustainability in mind.

Furthermore, it was essential to ensure operational flexibility and service continuity, even during seasonal peaks and unpredictable market dynamics.

The solution

Pengo adopted an integrated and technologically advanced logistics model to meet the challenges of capacity, efficiency, and sustainability. The operation is divided between two levels: a 40,000 m² platform dedicated to pallets and a 20,000 m² central platform for individual orders. The company implemented an automated system using Swisslog's AutoStore, featuring 30 robots and 35,000 bins, to optimise space and accuracy.

Thanks to the integration of WMS and WCS with goods-to-person solutions, logistics operations run in a continuous and synchronised flow. The system can handle up to 6,000 order lines per day while maintaining high levels of traceability, ergonomics, and operator safety.

Advanced technology for logistics

Pengo uses Swisslog's AutoStore system to optimise storage and order preparation. Integrated with Swisslog's WMS, it enables automated and accurate management of goods-to-person flows.

This technological ecosystem ensures high productivity, traceability and safety, easily adapting to future expansions and operational changes.
