Medical order lines at DC enhanced
System integrator Inther Group will implementing an automation project at the company Uniphar's DC in Ireland. Uniphar, a supplier of medical supplies, has asked for a new system that will significantly expand current capacities.
The 4,400 sqm DC in Annacotty will be equipped with an automated logistics system that can process up to 4,500 order lines per hour. A mini-load storage system will be implemented to store the goods, while two cranes will be deployed in one aisle to increase capacity and provide redundancy. The interfacing of the software platform will be done with SAP.
Paul Hermsen, MD at Inther Group, sees further projects coming up: “The fact that this system is being realised in Ireland – the Valhalla for pharmacy – is of course the icing on the cake.” (cd)
