Human and technology
For automated filling of grocery crates, Albert Heijn is deploying an automated system with robots and bins to quickly collect perishables. This innovative project includes the establishment of an automated fulfilment center, aimed at direct home delivery. The HSC project involves several processes, including booking, storage, sorting and loading using QuickMove conveyors, the integration of SynQ software, and the implementation of AutoStore, a robot-controlled storage and order picking system.
Some 300 robots with a total of 45,000 totes move at lightning speed through the new HSC to collect groceries ordered for customers.
This system makes work lighter for employees and reduces errors along with increasing efficiency.
