Food retailer plans automation

The heart of the project is the construction of the new DC in the city of Oss. From there, all store orders will be processed centrally using sustainable logistics systems from Witron that are precisely linked with one another.

The warehouse logistics processes, which until now have been operated conventionally, will be completely automated.

From November 2022, the facility with a size of 44,000 sq m will supply 270 Plus stores nationwide with a dry goods assortment of almost 12,000 different items. On a peak day, the fully and semi-automatic Witron systems OPM (Order Picking Machinery) with 20 COM machines, DPS (Dynamic Picking System) with 12 workstations, and CPS (Car Picking System) will pick and consolidate more than 410,000 cases onto roll containers and into totes in a store-friendly manner.

A mechanised pallet warehouse with 26,800 storage locations, a tray warehouse with 357,000 storage locations, as well as a tote warehouse with 27,500 tote locations are also integrated into the facility. Highly dynamic conveyor system elements from Witron’s subsidiary FAS as well as the Witron software portal 4.0 ensure a material flow that is perfectly connected in a physical and data-related manner.
