On its stand Dematic will be explaining how these technologies can maximise productivity and reduce labour costs yet deliver maximum accuracy in a sector where customers are seeking smaller, more frequent orders. It will also be showing how this can be done effectively during a time of rising energy costs, increasingly strict ergonomic and safety challenges and, furthermore, when the need for flexibility to address changing business and supply chain requirements has never been greater.

These will include Dematic’s ultra-high performance, high-rate pick stations for building multi-SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) case orders; robotic palletising systems for assembling single-SKU layer and multi-SKU pallet orders, as well as the company’s robust pallet and case conveyors. Dematic will also be showing voice-enabled technology, which can deliver significant benefits in applications such as order picking.

Dematic will also be presenting at the show’s Seminar Theatre on Tuesday 23 March, at 11am. Steve Baker, head of Dematic’s Global Industry Solutions Team , one of the most respected practitioners in the logistics automation industry, will discuss the current trends in the sector and how a new breed of order assembly solutions for building multi-SKU case and pallet orders can address them, with increased productivity by up to 400%. Steve will explain how leading companies around the world are implementing these solutions to address their latest challenges and achieve a competitive edge.
