Reliance encountered significant challenges, including an inefficient storage, escalating operational cost and heavy dependence on labor in its dry grocery distribution. To address these challenges, the company sought a partnership with Addverb to implement an automated grocery warehouse solution.
The resulting system features automated storage and retrieval capability, optimized material flow, and an enhanced order fulfillment process. These improvements not only increased storage utilization but also substantially raised daily order throughput, thereby ensuring a faster and more efficient distribution process.
The dry automated grocery warehouse is designed for seamless automation which is optimized for material handling from inbound to dispatch. Materials enter through a telescopic and flexible conveyor system, while bulk items are handled using a vacuum lifter for efficiency. Materials are classified into A, B, or C class SKUs for optimized storage and fulfillment:
A-Class SKUs go to the Multi-Pro, Mother-child shuttle ASRS for fast retrieval.
SKU's uit de B-klasse worden opgeslagen in het SPRS Selective Pallet Racking System.
C-Class SKU's zijn ondergebracht in het MTSS multi-etier reksysteem.
With a storage capacity of 11,114 pallets and 99,992 cases, an intelligent conveyor system routes order totes for replenishment or fulfillment. A carton shuttle system, featuring Quadron (Carton Shuttle) and (Multi-level shuttle), Quadron, enhances picking efficiency. Goods-to-Person (GTP) stations further streamline operations across two floors. Addverb’s in-house Warehouse Execution System, Concinity (WES) ensures seamless coordination, and packed orders are moved to the staging area for dispatch to Smart and Smart Point stores.
