30 oktober 2025
Ringnes is expanding capacity at its main brewery in Gjelleråsen outside Oslo. As part of a major facility upgrade, the beverage supplier will also rebuild its warehouse. Ringnes has chosen Swisslog as the supplier for its new automated warehouse system.
"Swisslog will deliver a comprehensive solution that will ensure increased utilization of warehouse capacity and increase the automation of the flow of goods at the facility. Through constructive dialogue so far, we have jointly developed what will be smart and efficient solutions for our warehouse,” says Astrid Palmer Omang, Project Director at Ringnes. “Throughout the tender process, Swisslog has demonstrated a good understanding of our needs. This bodes well for our continued collaboration with installation and operation.”
The solutions to be implemented at Gjelleråsen are structured into three key areas:
- Dispatch and Storage: This section will feature a PowerStore pallet shuttle system, ProMove conveyor system, automated guided vehicles (AGVs), and SynQ software to streamline dispatch and storage operations.
- Inbound Handling: A dedicated system will manage the receipt and handling of production materials, ensuring efficient and accurate inbound logistics.
- Block Storage and Dispatch Integration: This area will feature a ProMove conveyor system and AGVs, integrated with two existing high-bay warehouses to support block storage and dispatch operations.
All material flows are managed by Swisslog's SynQ software and Kollmorgen systems to ensure streamlined operations.
“We are proud to announce our collaboration with Ringnes on a groundbreaking project that aims to transform logistics operations at Gjelleråsen,” says Johan Kristofferson, MD Swisslog Nordic. “Together, we’ve developed a cutting edge, comprehensive solution that seamlessly integrates advanced automation technology with practical functionality – unlocking new levels of storage capacity and streamlining the flow of goods."
Work to upgrade the facility is already underway. Swisslog will start work on installing the new warehouse system at the beginning of November 2025. The new facility is scheduled for completion in the first half of 2027.
