Arvato, USA: Boosts efficiency, throughput and density with AutoStore
Arvato implemented an AutoStore system with Swisslog’s SynQ software that met the client’s demanding inventory control requirements while increasing efficiency, density and throughput at the site.
The solution
Arvato partnered with Swisslog on a fully automated warehouse, implementing an AutoStore system with SynQ software. This solution not only met the client's demanding inventory control needs, but also significantly improved efficiency, density, and throughput at the facility.
The collaboration exemplified Arvato's and Swisslog's ability to operationalize automation costs effectively while maintaining high hardware and software reliability, a critical factor in the success of the project.
The result
The successful implementation of the AutoStore system expanded storage capacity, improved operating efficiency, and provided precise control over inventory management and order fulfillment. The system's ease of use and powerful functionality not only increased picking efficiency, but also enhanced inbound processes, enabling immediate issue resolution and facilitating a quality workforce.
With over two years of successful operation, Arvato plans to further integrate automation solutions, increase the percentage of inventory stored in the system, and expand the modular grid to support continued growth, showcasing the long-term impact and scalability of the Swisslog solution.
The support we have received from Swisslog through the implementation and continuing today has been outstanding. That gives us the confidence to shift a higher percentage of inventory into the AutoStore and add new software capabilities that will allow us to get even more out of the system. As we grow, AutoStore and SynQ are growing with us.
