The robot

The warehouse robot

In 2005 we made the first investment and in 2013 we have doubled the Univeyor load system for our warehouse. With this combined investment we can handle more than 3000 item lines in a normal 8 hour shift. We are still rapidly expanding and want to make sure we are on top of demand.

The Univeyor load system presently consists of 2 lines that are 40 meters long and 7 meters tall. They hold 8,900 plastic trays, that may be split in up to 16 boxes. When full, it contains more than 30,000 different fittings in roughly 33,000 boxes.

The warehouse robot gives us multiple advantages:

Goods to operator instead of operator to goods. This reduces packing time substantially and leads to reduced costs.

Ensures superior ergonomics and working environment for the employees.

High capacity and 60-70% space reduction compared to a traditional warehouse also leads to savings on costs.

4-5 times faster and error-free picking results in higher delivery accuracy.

Simple and efficient warehouse control with automatic on-going counting ensures full overview.
99% of all orders are handled the same day they are received.
