Alnatura, Germany: High-bay pallet warehouse and small-volume shuttle

Alnatura's distribution center in Lorsch, which features particularly sustainable construction and operation, stands 17.5 meters high and is built entirely of wood. This new logistics center will reduce CO2 emissions – thanks to improved insulation and natural cooling, there is no need for artificial air conditioning.

Swisslog's CycloneCarrier shuttle system has enabled Alnatura to centralize their warehouse logistics of small-volume organic items for the company’s expanding network of stores. This environmentally-friendly solution shortens transport routes and allows Alnatura to manage a larger range of articles.

Weiling, Germany and Bio Partner, Switzerland

Weiling GmbH, headquartered in Coesfeld, is one of Germany's largest retail companies for organic food. Weiling has laid the foundation for additional growth with an automatic high-bay warehouse and an AutoStore for dry products.

Switzerland's leading organic retailer Bio Partner relies on a state-of-the-art AutoStore warehouse for more than 6,000 types of dry goods. This highly optimized solution transformed three formerly distinct warehouses into a single system.

As they do, they need to not only ensure automation delivers the capacity and efficiency they expect, but also that food safety is protected and even enhanced. In this post, we’ll cover some of the key features that enable automation systems to protect and enhance food safety across the value chain, from manufacturing through distribution to retail e-grocery fulfillment.
