In the new solar-powered warehouse, 149 AutoStore robots will effectively help staff to pick and pack goods. The solution expected to be put into operation in the spring of 2022.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-dekode-post-date\"><span class=\"date-published\">Published <time datetime=\"2021-04-23T21:31:00+00:00\">April 23, 2021 9:31 pm<\/time><\/span> <\/div>\n\n\n<p>Matsmart, an eGrocery business which sells food and consumer products that otherwise risk being disposed as waste, has had a strong annual growth since the start in 2014. Last year was no exception, and a record year for the entire e-commerce industry. The strong growth is also the reason why Matsmart now decided to invest in a new robotic and automated warehouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Our current warehouse is as efficient as possible, based on its size and organization. Our employees do a fantastic job. But we are very quickly approaching our maximum capacity in the current premises and it is time to scale up to the next level,&#8221; Conrad Edgren, Logistics Manager at Matsmart says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t<blockquote class=\"wp-block-dekode-quote\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-dekode-quote__icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"207\" src=\"https:\/\/www.elementlogic.net\/content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/\/2024\/09\/image-32-300x207.png\" class=\"quote-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.elementlogic.net\/content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/09\/image-32-300x207.png 300w, https:\/\/www.elementlogic.net\/content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/09\/image-32-768x531.png 768w, https:\/\/www.elementlogic.net\/content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/09\/image-32.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" height=\"96\" width=\"96\" class=\"t2-icon t2-icon-theme_quote\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\"><path d=\"M6.7808 16.5288L8.49055 13.5673C8.43289 13.5993 8.36555 13.6217 8.28855 13.6345C8.21155 13.6473 8.13464 13.6538 8.0578 13.6538C7.04114 13.6538 6.17797 13.2958 5.4683 12.5798C4.7588 11.8638 4.40405 11.0038 4.40405 10C4.40405 8.98334 4.7588 8.12017 5.4683 7.4105C6.17797 6.701 7.04114 6.34625 8.0578 6.34625C9.06164 6.34625 9.92155 6.701 10.6376 7.4105C11.3536 8.12017 11.7116 8.98334 11.7116 10C11.7116 10.3513 11.669 10.6783 11.5838 10.9808C11.4985 11.2833 11.3737 11.5718 11.2096 11.8463L8.07305 17.2788C8.00905 17.3904 7.92122 17.4808 7.80955 17.55C7.69805 17.6192 7.57305 17.6538 7.43455 17.6538C7.14739 17.6538 6.93205 17.5288 6.78855 17.2788C6.64489 17.0288 6.6423 16.7788 6.7808 16.5288ZM15.6656 16.5288L17.3751 13.5673C17.3174 13.5993 17.2501 13.6217 17.1731 13.6345C17.0962 13.6473 17.0193 13.6538 16.9423 13.6538C15.9256 13.6538 15.0626 13.2958 14.3531 12.5798C13.6434 11.8638 13.2886 11.0038 13.2886 10C13.2886 8.977 13.6434 8.11225 14.3531 7.40575C15.0626 6.69942 15.9256 6.34625 16.9423 6.34625C17.9461 6.34625 18.8061 6.701 19.5221 7.4105C20.2381 8.12017 20.5961 8.98334 20.5961 10C20.5961 10.3513 20.5535 10.6783 20.4683 10.9808C20.383 11.2833 20.2583 11.5718 20.0943 11.8463L16.9578 17.2788C16.8936 17.3904 16.8058 17.4808 16.6943 17.55C16.5828 17.6192 16.4578 17.6538 16.3193 17.6538C16.0321 17.6538 15.8167 17.5288 15.6731 17.2788C15.5296 17.0288 15.5271 16.7788 15.6656 16.5288Z\" fill=\"var(--t2-icon-fill, #000)\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-dekode-quote__text\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>We expect that our new automated warehouse will give us three times more capacity with plenty of room to grow further.
