Case Study: Roche achieves faster, GMP-compliant cold chain logistics with Swisslog automated warehouse systems

Roche automates 8,100-pallet cold storage with Swisslog

Roche, an international pharmaceutical company, required a highly efficient automated cold storage logistics facility for its temperature-sensitive medications at its Kaiseraugst site. Swisslog was engaged to implement a solution that would ensure a reliable, uninterrupted cold chain and faster material flow in compliance with GMP guidelines.

Swisslog implemented an Industry 4.0 cold storage warehouse featuring high bay and deep freeze sections, along with fully automated Condition Monitoring for preventative maintenance. The solution, which handles thousands of pallets daily, significantly accelerated material flow, ensured reliable quality management with track and trace, and was integrated seamlessly with Roche's existing warehouse operations without disrupting deliveries.
