Swisslog to showcase the automation revolutionising frozen food logistics at Cold Chain Live! 2024
Swisslog, a global leader in warehouse automation, is excited to announce its participation in Cold Chain Live! 2024, one of the premier events for the cold chain industry.
The event will be held in Telford from 4th-5th September 2024 and will bring together industry experts, innovators, and key stakeholders to explore the latest trends, technologies, and solutions in temperature-controlled logistics.
The logistics automation specialist will be showcasing solutions designed to address common challenges within the cold chain, including labour availability and costs, energy usage and costs, and carbon footprint.
Smart tech in cold storage
With a legacy of over 250 deep freeze automations worldwide, Swisslog has cemented its reputation as a pioneer in the cold chain automation industry.
"We are thrilled to exhibit at Cold Chain Live! 2024 and showcase our innovative solutions that are transforming the cold chain industry,” said Shane Faulkner, Head of Sales UK at Swisslog. “Our advanced technologies in automated pallet storage and retrieval, case picking, layer picking, and tray/tote picking are specifically designed to meet the unique demands of deep freeze environments."
By optimizing energy usage, increasing storage density and reducing costs, Swisslog technologies contribute to a lower carbon footprint, aligning with global sustainability goals. Swisslog’s Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) and Warehouse Control Systems (WCS) are ideal for cold chain applications, and ensure seamless integration and management of automated processes, enhancing operational efficiency.
“Energy-efficient systems are vital in deep-freeze logistics,” Shane continues. “Our shuttle technology and smart picking solutions are perfect for small volumes. For larger volumes, high-bay pallet warehouses with stacker cranes or pallet shuttles, and ergonomic palletizing systems excel. With expertise from numerous deep-freeze projects and top-tier warehouse management software, Swisslog technologies can provide you with complete control from farm to fork.”
Real-world solutions
Sharing real-world applications of its technology, Swisslog will proudly highlight its recent project with Virto Group. This case study demonstrates the tangible benefits and innovations that Swisslog’s solutions bring to the cold chain industry.
Virto Group, a market leader and benchmark in deep-frozen vegetables for retail, foodservice, and industry, entrusted Swisslog with the automation of its new Funes warehouse (Navarra).
Additionally, Greggs, the leading UK food-on-the-go retailer, announced a new purpose-built facility which includes logistics for frozen storage and fully automated robotic shop order picking and distribution solutions from Swisslog.
Attendees are invited to visit Swisslog's booth to learn more and meet the team of experts, including Shane Faulkner, Adam Fox, and Akshay Intwala. They will be available to share details from a catalogue of over 250 references and discuss how Swisslog’s solutions can be tailored to meet the specific needs of any business.
