Innnes has been on the Icelandic market for 35 years and grew from a three-man company to the largest grocery supplier for retailers and catering.
Challenge
“We could keep the organization as it was 35 years ago – preserving completely manual operations. We knew that if we did that, we would not be competing. The only way to stay in the competition is to use technologies,” continues Magnús Óli Ólafsson.
Solution
SSI SCHAEFER designed the overall concept for Innnes’ logistics centre based on the thorough data analysis and prioritizing the goals the wholesaler had in mind. In addition to an automated high-bay warehouse (HBW) and a miniload system (ASPW), the project also included the SSI Cuby shuttle system, a fully automated storage solution for optimizing space usage for cartons and trays. Pallet and bin conveying systems transport the goods, while the SSI SCHAEFER'S intralogistics software WAMAS® is responsible for warehouse management.
Different Temperature Zones
The innovative design has the perfect balance of automated and manual processes. The majority of the automation is implemented for the deep-freeze and ambient zones. The fresh food warehouse is based on the person-to-goods principle and primarily uses manual handling.
Intelligent Software
The distribution centre is managed and controlled by the WAMAS® intralogistics software.
