Third-party logistics (3PL) specialist Toll and logistics systems integrator Dematic are implementing one of the most sophisticated retail distribution systems in Australia for leading global sports and leisure brand adidas.

For many food and beverage producers, there is an increased emphasis on full case and layer picking, especially when making route deliveries.  This is driven by an increase in smaller, more frequent orders and market demand for a wider range of product variants. The consequence is that warehouse operations are becoming increasingly labour-intensive and expensive.

With the opening of a modern TechCenter Dematic continues to develop its presence and commitment to the rapidly developing Chinese economy.

Dematic, supplier of logistics systems for the factory, warehouse, and distribution center, today announces it has extended the functionality of the RapidPick System, a goods to person order fulfillment solution for piece pick applications.

In recognition of its contribution to the success of Kmart’s new DC’s around Australia and New Zealand, Dematic Real Time Logistics has won Kmart’s Supplier of the Year award for Project Innovation.

At LogiMAT 2012, Dematic will be showcasing live the world premiere of the new Multishuttle Generation II. The total solutions provider will also be demonstrating a comprehensive range of cost-effective and resource-efficient solutions to visitors on their 160 m2 stand number 631 in Hall 1. The focus will also be on the new RapidStore automatic storage and retrieval system, the high-performance RapidPick order picking station, and Warehouse Management Systems DC Director and SAP EWM.

An innovative robotic layer picking system, which has transformed workplace safety and significantly improved the quality and productivity of mixed pallet assembly for Nestlé Australia, received the highest level of industry recognition at the recent 2011 Australian Supply Chain and Logistics Awards.
