Best Practices 30: automation and digitalization to boost logistics efficiency

October 30, 2023

In issue No. 30 of Best Practices magazine, the Mecalux Group unveils its most recent launch: a new, collaborative robotic picking system. This solution incorporates Siemens’ pioneering SIMATIC Robot Pick AI technology, based on deep learning algorithms, to automate the picking process.

The magazine includes success stories of companies from a multitude of sectors that have relied on Mecalux Group storage and management solutions to enhance their logistics processes. For instance, athletic equipment distributor Jim Sports monitors over 17,000 SKUs with an all-in-one solution: automation, software, and storage systems. Tracking SKUs in real time was also a priority for IT solutions and services business IRIS and TB Group, a manufacturer of personal protective equipment. Both companies have digitalized their logistics operations to ensure the traceability of the thousands of SKUs they manage.

This issue of Best Practices magazine also delves into e-commerce logistics. Jolly Softair, the largest e-commerce retailer of airsoft products in Italy, has digitalized its logistics processes with the Mecalux Group’s warehouse management system (WMS) to cope with increasing online orders and meet the needs of over 1,300 customers worldwide. In addition, the magazine explores the latest supply chain technology trends, such as social commerce, which is revolutionizing the way we buy and sell products online.

The magazine also features interviews with customers and a wide variety of specialized articles. These include research examining why warehouse technologies are the wave of the future; a study on how descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive analytics optimizes supply chains; and a report describing the different digital solutions driving supply chains, illustrated by real examples of companies.
