Logistics challenges
For Eroski, this investment is a response to the need to optimize its grocery distribution services and make efficient use of its space and represents a great leap forward by offering more efficient picking of products, improving the accuracy of orders and enabling more efficient delivery to its supermarkets.
AutoStore of Smartlog
The solution designed by Smartlog, a state-of-the-art AustoStore, will revolutionize order picking of low-rotation dry goods in Eroski’s distribution centre. The installation of this system is scheduled for the second quarter of 2024.
AutoStore stands out as the highest-density storage system in grocery automation, allowing products to be picked in an automated manner, thus maximizing efficiency in distribution.
To further optimize processes, Smartlog has planned the implementation of its Warehouse Management System (WMS) which will integrate, control, and orchestrate all processes and systems within the picking centre. This will further improve the real-time tracking of inventory, and the current management by expiry date and best-before date of items.
We are very satisfied with this close collaboration with Smartlog to introduce the first AutoStore system in one of our distribution centres. This union demonstrates our commitment to innovation and continuous improvement, and it also means we can continue to provide more references and more solutions that allow us to satisfy a greater number of our customers' needs.
