Tailored Automation Solution

TGW Logistics implemented a customized intralogistics system that begins at the inbound area, where pallets are received and transferred to a high-density storage system. A three-aisle automated mini-load warehouse, powered by Mustang E+ storage and retrieval machines, serves as the backbone for order picking. Operators fulfill orders at ergonomic workstations, and once the boxes are ready, they are routed to a robotic palletizing system. TGW’s Warehouse Control System (WCS) orchestrates all warehouse processes, enabling Genebre to automate more than 50% of its order fulfillment.

Advanced Robotic Integration

A key component of the automation project is a TGW gantry robot designed for customer order picking. This advanced system handles up to five different box sizes, each weighing up to 25 kilograms (55 lbs), and can execute up to 170 cycles per hour. With the capacity to prepare up to 29 EUR-pallets simultaneously, the robot also automatically supplies empty pallets to ensure a seamless picking process.

Commitment to Sustainability and Scalability

The new system not only boosts productivity but also contributes to sustainability goals by reducing energy consumption. Genebre’s Chief Operating Officer, José Piedrafita, emphasized that the scalable solution allows for future growth without disrupting operations, ensuring consistent service levels regardless of order volume.
