Case Study: Bleckmann achieves 60% faster order cycles with AutoStore

Bleckmann Achieves 60% Faster Order Cycle with AutoStore

Bleckmann, a third-party logistics provider for fashion and lifestyle brands, faced challenges in their Belgium warehouse. Their traditional rack storage failed to maximize space, and manual operations caused delays in order fulfillment. They needed a high-density, energy-efficient solution to accelerate their processes and handle demand fluctuations. Bleckmann partnered with AutoStore to implement an automated storage and retrieval system.

AutoStore implemented a system using 24 high-speed robots on a grid to transport bins to picking stations. This solution maximized storage density, accelerated order fulfillment, and integrated with automated carton handling. The results for Bleckmann were a 60% faster order cycle time and a requirement for seven times less space. The energy-efficient AutoStore system was also fully powered by the facility's solar panels.
