The Challenge
Due to growing demand for their products and a commitment to meeting customer delivery expectations, BESTSELLER has automated their warehouse in Taulov, Denmark. One of the key factors influencing this choice was the exceptional level of flexibility offered by the Skypod® system.
The Solution
| Robots | Stations | Storage Bins | Bins/hour | System Height | System Footprint |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 79 | 8 | 51,000 | 1,320 | 9.9m | 2,850m² |

Results
1. Improved Productivity
- The Skypod system more than doubles the productivity of the distribution centre compared to a manual set-up
- Shorter lead time from order to delivery as all processes are streamlined
2. Plug Play Modularity
- The installation and commissioning of new racks can be accomplished in a very short time, thereby increasing the capacity of the automated warehouse.
3. Enhanced Ergonomics
- Employees work from ergonomic picking stations that eliminate the need to walk numerous miles each day while bending, lifting, and carrying goods
“A big achievement of the project is the implementation of a complete Exotec storage system, a new warehouse management system and the warehouse control systems in less than a year. It is a great example of the good teamwork between system integrator Klinkhammer, Exotec and BESTSELLER ”
