Setting out to build the “best warehouse in the world,” Scandinavian retailer Varner incorporated nearly every available tool in the automation tool kit in the design and implementation of a new 500,000-square-foot distribution center, including:
- pallet-handling automated storage and retrieval technology;
- case-handling mini-load systems;
- robotic palletizing and de-palletizing;
- automated goods-to-person picking; automated handling of garments on hanger;
- and cross-belt sortation.
It’s truly a showcase for where automation is going next; get the full story.
