STILL provided advanced automation of the intralogistics with several innovative iGo automation solutions. “Thanks to this automation, a reliable process is guaranteed, which allows us to deliver the quality and productivity our customer expects from us,” says Gitte Daelemans, Project Manager Contract Logistics at Yusen Logistics Benelux.
Yusen Logistics is a leading logistics service provider with approximately 25,000 employees, operating in 47 markets worldwide. The company works with customers of all sizes and across various industries to optimise supply chains and ensure seamless logistics. The smart warehouse in Gembloux is one of the latest examples of this. The processes in the logistics centre are largely automated using innovative automation solutions from STILL. “It all started three years ago with the customer’s request to consolidate three different locations into one large, dedicated warehouse,” says Gitte Daelemans, Project Manager Contract Logistics at Yusen Logistics Benelux. As the customer operates in the pharmaceutical sector, strict regulations apply, particularly in terms of temperature control and quality standards. The new warehouse therefore has three different temperature zones to ensure that vaccines and raw materials are always stored under the right conditions. Productivity must also be guaranteed. Every hour, 160 pallets have to be moved in and out of the warehouse.
