More features get automated
The collaboration between Element Logic and Kid Group continues from 2020, when they implemented an AutoStore system in its logistics center in Norway.
installation from Element Logic at Hemtex features an AutoStore-system with 35,000 bins and 38 robots. In addition, a conveyor system and automation for waste, conveyors for transporting orders from picking to sorting, as well as sorting and special packing in cartons and bags are installed. This automation is controlled by Element Logic’s eManager software. It is estimated that the AutoStore facility will perform 900 order lines per hour.
