Maersk facility handled a wide array of SKUs and needed a solution that promised accuracy and efficiency. Their inventory consisted of 60% footwear, 30% apparel, and 10% accessories making inventory control a complex affair.
Their requirements included a complete process from receiving material, storage, and retrieval, followed by each case picking, order consolidation, and sortation for quick dispatch according to the assigned destination.
The solution had to be flexible to cater to B2B & B2C customers to facilitate omnichannel fulfilment. They wanted to have a planned reverse logistics process to streamline all the returns from different channels and manage inventory accurately.
To manage the complete end-to-end operations of the warehouse, they needed a one-stop fixed and flexible warehousing solution for enhanced synchronisation and smooth information flow.
Due to the rapid scaling up of their brand and the rising demand, they urgently needed to incorporate a greenfield solution in a brownfield. To achieve all its objectives as an omnichannel fulfilment warehouse, Addverb designed an innovative solution that combines the power of both fixed and flexible warehousing.
The solution comprised Autonomous Mobile Robots for material movement in the warehouse, Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems like Pallet Shuttles and Carton Shuttles to optimise space utilisation.
For automated material transfer and return handling, a Multi-Carton picking robot was added along with sorting robots for the quick dispatch of orders and catering to B2C customers. Additional systems like mixed-case palletisers, Pick-to-Lights, and strategically planned conveyor lines helped in the seamless integration of fixed and flexible warehousing.
For a solution this large and involving a wide array of fixed and flexible warehousing robots to automate the operations of the complete warehouse, the KPIs are unmatched and enviable across all fashion brands.
