Automated distribution hub for Dillewijn Zwapak
Dematic has fully automated the new distribution centre of Dillewijn Zwapak in Amstelveen (the Netherlands), the Dutch wholesaler of packaging solutions for flowers and floristry articles. The intralogistics specialist has installed a tailor-made solution with a driverless transport system consisting of self-propelled narrow-aisle stackers and driverless transport vehicles, pallet racking and a paternoster order picking system.
The systems enable fully automatic pallet loading and unloading as well as semi-automatic packaging and product picking. Up to 14,000 pallets can be stored in the 10,000 sqm large and up 18 m high distribution centre.
On average, Dillewijn Zwapak now stores and retrieves 300 pallets daily. With the new building, the company can now combine the services of its previous four storage locations on one site at its headquarters. (mw)
