GEODIS and KNAPP have joined forces to create fully automated order technology, which will begin operations at a facility in August 2022, reports the American Journal of Transportation.
The five mirrored order picking modules will feature the ability to independently fulfil customer orders processed in the centre.
geodis is expected to move 850,000 e-commerce units per day on behalf of the national retailer.
'GEODIS' investment in KNAPP's technology demonstrates our ongoing commitment to offering our customers innovative solutions that best meet their needs, address challenges and optimise existing capabilities,' said GEODIS vice president Kevin Stock.
'Our collaboration with KNAPP will enable us to be agile enough to execute e-commerce orders on high-velocity items even quicker while delivering excellent customer service to ensure shipments are received as soon as possible,' said Mr Stock.
The project will include a unique combination of multiple KNAPP technologies such as ten aisles of the OSR Shuttle Evo, an all-in-one automatic storage and picking system.
Said KNAPP chief sales officer Jusuf Buzimkic: 'The solution developed in collaboration with GEODIS and KNAPP engineers is specifically designed to address key strategic and growth factors resulting from the rapid growth in e-commerce demand,'
'The technology platform will reduce the challenge of hard-to-find labour, while simultaneously delivering a solution that is flexible, scalable, and minimises the variable cost per order,' said Mr Buzimkic.
