Most goods are received in bins and cartons from a central Brands for Less import facility and are automatically stored in the bin storage system. Conveyors and vertical lifters deliver bins to pick-up points, where 32 roaming shuttles pick up the bins and store them in assigned locations in the 600m² facility.
It reportedly offers improvements in efficiency, storage optimisation and cost reduction for businesses in the retail industry.
Investing in new products and services like automated inventory management is a key strategy for proactive retail businesses looking to remain competitive.
