Within both booths, touchscreen monitors will display an array of solutions, including:

• Dematic Smart Task Activationis order fulfillment management software that increases operational effectiveness by synchronising workflows in real time. It uses a dynamic strategy based on a revolving queue of orders. Smart Task Activation “pulls” work to resources and processes orders on-demand, continuously and dynamically. The processing plan is not pre-defined and rigid, but rather determined based on current conditions to support operational flexibility.
• Linde Guardianis an operator assistance system using full-service awareness technology to monitor internal traffic. The system can see around corners and be programmed to safeguard against hazardous scenarios involving lorries, infrastructure, and people.
• Dematic Micro-Fulfilmentmoves e-commerce fulfilment closer to the customer base for the shortest possible pickup and delivery times. It’s designed as an urban distribution system that automates the fulfilment of e-commerce orders for same day “click & collect” and delivery. The system has a compact footprint, which can be installed in the back room of a retail shop or in an urban distribution centre.
• Dematic Mixed Case Fulfilmentdelivers efficiency in the entire distribution centre to retail and grocery replenishment supply chain. The solution is fully automated and creates mixed case pallets and loads following specific business rules such as: by retail shop aisles, family group, heavy items on bottom, and by layers for route delivery sequence generating savings in the distribution centre, transport, and store operations cost centres.
• Dematic Depalletizer/Palletizeris a robotics system that provides dual functionality by operating as both a palletiser and depalletiser. The system can, for example, depalletise inbound inventory on a first shift and palletise outbound orders on a second shift.
• Linde Scalable Forklift Automationis a mobile automation solution for low-level order picking using automated guided forklifts for horizontal and vertical transport. These forklift solutions are highly scalable and can be adapted to the specific requirements of each operation.
• Dematic Mobile Automationis a family of systems for automated load transport within a facility. Automated Guided Vehicle Systems (AGVs) and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) offer maximum operational flexibility in load movement requirements as well as scalability for growth.
• Linde Series 1252 Electric Counterbalance Lorryis an electric-motor lorries that combines the robust operation of lorries with internal combustion engines with the benefits of traditional electric lorries.
