  Third party logistics company, wins prize with Univeyor Layer Picking

Kuehne + Nagel awarded an Oscar for 'Process performance'

From manual case picking to automated Layer Picking
Kuehne + Nagel's modern distribution centre in Holland is called the ‘Best European logistics platform in 2004’ by ‘Le Journal de la Logistique’. A significant volume of products from such high profile producers as Masterfoods and Unilever-Bestfoods passes through the distribution centre.

Reducing manpower
At 125,000 m², it’s not the size that makes this centre unique, but it is the Univeyor Layer Picker which is located within the automated storage area. The Layer Picker solution is saving approximately 40 man-years, leaving 4 operators/ shift for surveillance, replenishment and forwarding customer pallets to dispatch.
