AutoStore based warehouse geared for high picking throughput with low footprint
Scandinavian Cosmetics will automate and merge operations to a new warehouse in Malmö, Sweden, where Element Logic will install an AutoStore solution.
The company acts as an agency and sells to both retail and in recent years increasingly to eCommerce. Today, the company's operations are managed through several manual warehouses in Norway and Sweden, but now they choose to gather their entire operations in a new warehouse with AutoStore in Malmö.
The reason for merging their warehouses is to modernise and automate their logistics processes to meet the customer needs in a better and more efficient way.
“We have clear growth ambitions where, through the investment in AutoStore, we create optimal conditions for quickly and easily being able to scale up our storage capacity. At the same time, we are proud to be able to offer our employees a new, modern, and attractive workplace,” says Scandinavian Cosmetics CEO Joakim Johnsson.
The new warehouse is 6,000 sq m and contains an AutoStore solution with a capacity of 30,000 bins. To meet Scandinavian Cosmetics’ needs of approximately 900 order lines per hour, 35 robots will provide the AutoStore workstations with bins for picking and packing. The AutoStore solution is planned to be operational during spring 2021.
Element Logic Sweden MD Thomas Karlsson adds: “The project together with Scandinavian Cosmetics has been very exciting with a strong focus on efficiency and scalability. We are happy, proud, and we look forward to a successful cooperation with Scandinavian Cosmetics.”
