This facility replaces Metcash\u2019s ageing facility at Laverton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe new DC and state offices will ensure a strong future for Metcash in the state of Victoria and is a reflection of our commitment to the independent retail network we serve,\u201d says Chris Purcell \u2013 Head of Logistics for Metcash Food. \u201cThis investment also underpins our commitment to creating a safe and enjoyable work environment for our people and operating the most efficient routes to market for our supplier partners.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new Dematic GTP solution will streamline operations for Metcash\u2019s split case pick, NDC, and liquor bottle pick, delivering improved productivity, improved ergonomics, faster order fulfilment, and reduced manual handling. The solution has been designed with additional room for volume expansion in line with Metcash\u2019s future growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cActing as a high-density, automated storage and retrieval system, the Dematic solution will fit within the set footprint provided and offer scalable tote storage and high sequenced order picking delivering very high productivity,\u201d explains Terry Jamieson, Business Development Manager at Dematic. \u201cThe solution will support Metcash in its bid to drive operational efficiencies, achieve the best use of available space, and meet very specific despatch windows.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The new Metcash Truganina facility is due for completion in late 2024.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>About the Dematic GTP Solution<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In traditional order fulfilment operations, operator travel consumes the largest portion of time in fulfilling orders. One of the most effective ways to improve efficiency is to minimise operator travel or eliminate it altogether. In terms of automation, GTP picking solutions can increase operator productivity by over five times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GTP solutions take advantage of the power of data combined with high efficiency buffering and sequencing systems such as the Dematic Multishuttle\u00ae. In high-volume item picking operations, items for orders can be stored, sequenced, and delivered to operators in the order in which they need them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a GTP system, operators stay put in ergonomically designed high-rate workstations that optimise productivity, efficiency, and safety. The orders and items required to fulfil the orders arrive at the workstation precisely when they are needed. Workstations can facilitate discrete or batch picking, and they can be configured to fulfil one or more open orders at a time, depending on order processing needs \u2013 for example whether for in-store, online order fulfilment, or both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Key automation technologies like GTP solutions, along with robust and real-time software platform integration, can optimise supply chains and improve operator efficiency, operational processes, and inventory management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more information, please visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dematic.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/www.dematic.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Metcash, Australia\u2019s leading wholesale and distributor to the independent network of IGA, Foodland, Cellarbrations, Bottle-O, Mitre 10, Home Timber &amp; Hardware, and Total Tools stores, will integrate a Dematic goods-to-person (GTP) order [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":51079,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[837,1560,35,125],"class_list":["post-51078","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-intralogistics","tag-distribution-center","tag-fulfillment","tag-handling-technology","tag-intralogistics-2"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 -
