Lehner Versand, Switzerland: Well prepared for peaks in demand
Compact warehouse with 20,000 bins
The solution for Lehner Versand includes 20,000 bins for around 25,000 products. At the top of the warehouse, software-controlled robotic vehicles – 27 in total at Lehner – travel on rails, storing and retrieving bins or feeding them to picking workstations via elevators. The picking workstations are located one floor below.
At each of these workstations, there is one staff member who removes the goods from a bin and prepares them either for shipment or for delivery to a sales branch. The bin then automatically returns to the cube via the lift, where it is sorted again by a robot.
