BIG W, Australia
In close collaboration with Big W management, Dematic designed, implemented and ultimately extended two of the southern hemisphere’s largest general merchandise distribution centers. Both feature extensive use of cross-docking. Containers are unloaded directly onto the crossdocking conveyors and merged with batched full and split-case orders picked in multiple, three-tier, full-case pick modules. Cross-docked loads are either sorted as direct-to-store orders or to palletizing locations for induction into bulk reserve storage. Pick-to-light technology is used to increase productivity and accuracy in split-case picking.
