REWE has taken another step towards automation at its logistics center in Oranienburg. In collaboration with Cimcorp, a company specializing in intralogistics automation, an automated delivery center for fresh products has been set up. This center is intended to ensure the rapid and error-free distribution of fruits and vegetables to more than 370 supermarkets and 580 stores in the Greater Berlin area, as recently announced by Cimcorp.
The new Oranienburg system is designed to optimize fruit and vegetable supply chain processes. According to the company, approximately 29,000 units are processed daily by Cimcorp’s automated picking system. Material flow is managed by Cimcorp’s Warehouse Control System (WCS). This includes scanning and depalletizing incoming barcodes, inventory management, picking, and product labeling and shipping.
