Efficiently Navigate Growth & Sales Peaks
Their distribution center in Le Plessis-Pâté, France houses two independently operating Skypod systems to fulfill ambient and chilled e-grocery orders that are delivered to customers’ homes as well as stores offering curbside pickup within southern Île-de-France.
Temperatures within the systems range between 32-89 degrees Fahrenheit (0-32 degrees Celcius) with more than 13,000 product references. Ambient, chilled, and manually picked orders are combined via a network of conveyors integrated by Exotec. Carrefour has gone on to install four more Skypod systems at other facilities.
