Lehner Versand, Switzerland: Well prepared for peaks in demand

The solution for Lehner Versand includes 20,000 containers 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 containers 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 storage box and prepares them either for shipment or for delivery to a sales branch. The storage container then automatically returns to the cube via the lift, where it is sorted again by a robot.
