WITRON automates Omni-Channel logistics processes for Jumbo Supermarkten
General contractor WITRON realizes a new dry goods distribution center for Dutch food retailer
(PresseBox) - The next flagship project in the Benelux region for WITRON Logistik + Informatik GmbH from Parkstein (Germany): the general contractor for logistics was awarded the order to design and realize the new ?National Logistics Center? for Jumbo Supermarkten B.V. - the second largest food retailer in the Netherlands. The distribution center will be located in Nieuwegein, the Netherlands. During the course of an international design competition, WITRON convinced with its leading edge, cost-efficient, and flexible overall concept.
In the first phase the facility, with a size of 45,000 square meters located near Utrecht, will supply all Jumbo stores with 12,000 different dry goods. In this stage, the distribution center is designed for peak pick performance of 2,000,000 cases per week. To achieve this goal, Jumbo relies on WITRON?s Order Picking Machinery (OPM) solution - with a total of 20 Case Order Machines (COMs), expandable to 32 COMs ? providing a fully automated case picking operation onto roll containers. In addition, WITRON will be installing its semi-automated Dynamic Picking System (DPS), which is used to pick small-volume items highly dynamically into totes at 30 multi-functional picking workstations. Both systems are successfully implemented in food and general merchandise retail projects across the globe. Replenishment and pick front profiling are done fully automatically by means of stacker cranes. A high bay warehouse with 22,000 pallet locations
Once all customer orders are picked and consolidated in the various sub-systems, they are manually prepared for dispatch in the shipping area.
Innovative conveyor system elements and high-speed stacker cranes developed and manufactured by WITRON?s subsidiary FAS, ensure an optimally linked and highly dynamic material flow. The ?National Logistics Center? will be controlled by WITRON?s logistics software, which is integrated into Jumbo?s entire IT eco-system through WITRON?s software portal 4.0.
As a general contractor, WITRON is responsible for the entire design and realization of all IT, control engineering, and mechanical components. The order scope also includes the operational system support, as well as servicing, and maintenance of the system. The WITRON OnSite team will be located directly at the Jumbo site and will ensure continuous high availability of all components and logistics areas.
