A Swisslog Holding Case Study
Brødrene Dahl A/S (Norway), Norway’s leading water, heating and sanitation wholesaler with a growing e‑commerce business, faced rising order frequency, shorter lead times and a very wide range of product sizes that its manual distribution centre could no longer handle. To increase capacity, improve reliability and enable faster, more customer‑friendly fulfilment, Brødrene Dahl engaged Swisslog Holding as its automation partner.
Swisslog Holding delivered an integrated intralogistics solution including a High Bay Warehouse with Vectura pallet stacker cranes, ProMove and QuickMove conveyor systems, pick‑to‑belt workstations, a buffer facility with Vectura, Tornado miniload and SmartCarrier handling, plus WarehouseManager/BoxControl software. The installation provides ~18,700 HBW pallet locations, 3,856 small‑tray locations, 386 pallet buffer locations, 60 chutes and throughputs of up to 70 pallets/hour, 80 trays/hour and 920 small trays/hour; supported by a three‑person Swisslog operations team, the solution increased efficiency, capacity and accuracy and enabled faster order consolidation and improved customer delivery performance.
