Ecommerce Fulfilment Factory

Fulfilment is the challenging link in many companies' value chains. Especially when it is based on a traditional warehouse concept. So, if your company runs a fulfilment operation, you have probably checked out automated warehouse solutions. And you may have concluded that the benefits come with a too steep threshold in terms of investment and technology.

With our Fulfilment Factory, you can get the benefits of the AutoStore system with goods-to-person automation workstations in a plug & play format and a minimum of investment. The system is designed to streamline your storage and fulfilment process with a reliable, scalable, and cost-effective setup and zero-fault procedures. So, plug into the Fulfilment Factory and get the benefit of fulfilling your customers' expectations while keeping your focus on your core business.

Traditional warehouses are built with space, light, and heating for people to be able to work, but robots easily operate without light and heating, and space usage is so much more efficient, as the robots work within a cubic grid.

So, implementing the Fulfilment Factory as part of your warehousing and distribution solutions will result in energy savings and lower emissions. In fact, the system delivers a density of automated storage equivalent of only 25% of the space needed for the same capacity within traditional manual storage.

Further, the energy consumption of the robots is extremely low. The robots generate power as they lower bins within the grid or reduce their speed, much as an electrical car. By making power usage circular in this way, the energy needed is at a minimum. Plug into our Fulfilment Factory, where energy savings and increased space efficiency will make your order fulfilment more sustainable.

Ever-higher customer expectations, shrinking order sizes, and a shortage of qualified staff are pressuring order fulfilment in e-commerce, retail, and wholesale businesses alike.

Warehouse automation offers a solution, but so far only companies with large volumes, predictable order patterns, and certainty about future flows have been able to make the sizable investment needed for the robotics concept, also known as AutoStore technology.

With Fulfilment Factory, everyone can benefit from automated warehousing for some – or all – of their order fulfilment activities.

We are investing heavily and rolling out this automation concept in numerous multi-user warehouses at strategic locations around the world, creating a string of Fulfilment Factories. Many of our clients are already on board, benefitting from increased reliability and cost-efficiency.

Each Fulfilment Factory is fully connected to our Warehouse Management System and seamlessly integrated into our operations. This means standard connectivity via EDI or API and end-to-end visibility. In other words, the solution is literally ‘plug & play’, and particularly aimed at small or large e-commerce businesses.
