Logistics automation under the VertiNode AI integration platform
eD System’s logistics centre has seen the biggest innovation in its history. The warehouse received a new automated and picking solution that has significantly impacted logistics processes from receiving to dispatch. The implementation of the proposed solution took 14 months and was carried out with the warehouse fully operational without negatively impacting the delivery of shipments to customers.
The project involved the supply of 16 vertical stackers – 8 compact double stackers and 8 compact double stackers and a fully automatic conveyor line with four picking zones equipped with Pick-to-Light technology. All technologies are controlled by the WCS VertiNode AI system, which communicates with the parent WMS system and provides two-way information exchange.
The aim of the project was to automate and streamline the picking processes and increase the capacity of the orders processed, which corresponds to their continuous growth.
