idl is part of the Schwarz Group, one of the world’s largest retail groups, which operates over 13,000 stores across the globe.“Lidl’s distribution centre (DC) in Køge, Denmark, outperforms traditional order fulfilment methods by using Vanderlande’s state-of-the-art automated case picking (ACP) solution. At its heart, the ACP solution uses ADAPTO, the shuttle-based automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS),” says Vanderlande.

Results produced:

• Enhanced ergonomics and safety.

• Higher and faster pick accuracy.

• Increased scalability.

• And the ability to supply all Danish Lidl stores.

Lidl’s end-to-end automated case picking (ACP) warehouse solution effectively handles both incoming and outgoing goods, and guarantees store-friendly deliveries across multiple store formats.

The ACP system takes over the commissioning and provision of store pallets in an area of only 6,400m², saving considerable space. This automates the commissioning processes on site, decrease lead times and further improve the quality of the store pallets.

Vanderlande’s shuttle-based automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS) with built-in sorting and sequencing capabilities – Adapto – is implemented. Through this, the requirement for costly conveyance technology, sequencing buffers and buffer lines is minimised.

“Adapto reduces the initial investment costs and delivers a more effective use of space in comparison to similar concepts.”

Comprehensive analysis by specialists from both companies on the site’s workstations means that they comply to the highest ergonomic standards.
