Food & Beverage Protein

Dematic provides a portfolio of warehouse logistics solutions especially designed for the Protein industry. These solutions cover the space from where the product is placed in a box to being placed on a truck.

These solutions manage the specific order fulfillment requirements of the slaughter/harvest house and value-add processing/case ready/portion pack facilities that supply wholesalers, retail stores, food service and export customers. Our solutions for the Protein industry are modular and scalable, and span from automated storage only to include fully lights out automation.

Protein Industry Trends

  • A protein shortage in China (and other parts of Asia) caused by African Swine Fever (ASF)
  • The growth of alternative proteins creating additional competition within protein supply chains
  • Orders for animal proteins decreasing in size, increasing in frequency, and expanding in variety — creating a more chaotic order fulfillment environment
  • Heavier animals (especially beef cattle) coupled with customer demands for lighter boxes creating a need for more throughput and box storage
  • High cost to attract, train, and retain workers for sub-optimal working conditions in protein distribution facilities
  • Growth in exports — orders staged for USDA inspection require additional space
  • FSIS regulations in the United States leading to more quarantine and recall requirements
