HIGHLY AUTOMATED B2C DISTRIBUTION CENTER FOR FASHION
The e-commerce warehouse of a third-party logistics provider (3PL) comprises an intralogistics solution with end-to-end optimization and the SSI Carrier pouch sorter at its heart.
Challenge
Together with a third-party logistics provider (3PL), a global fashion retailer was looking for an intralogistics partner capable of implementing a new highly automated logistics center in Poland on a tight schedule. The e- commerce business, which was experiencing rapid growth even before the pandemic, demands fast, error-free online order processing and quick, efficient returns handling above all.
Solution
SSI SCHAEFER realized this, installing an extremely complex, highly dynamic intralogistics solution in the new e-commerce fashion warehouse in a space of more than 60,000 m². The total system runs 24/7, processing 70,000 orders per day. Peak performances of up to 600,000 items have already been achieved. The equipment includes container and carton conveying systems, a pick tower with four levels and an SSI Miniload small parts storage system with more than 600,000 storage locations when stored triple-deep. The heart of the system is the SSI Carrier.
