Case Study: UNIL achieves smarter, more efficient frozen food warehousing with Swisslog automation

UNIL AS boosts frozen food storage with Swisslog's 31-meter-high automated warehouse

UNIL AS, a key supplier of private label products for Norgesgruppen in Norway, faced challenges in efficiently handling its large range of over 2,500 product lines. The company partnered with vendor Swisslog Holding to implement an automated material handling solution for its new centralized distribution center, which needed to manage both ambient and frozen food pallets.

Swisslog implemented a fully automated and integrated material handling system featuring a 31-meter-high automated high-bay warehouse with Vectura stacker cranes for storing and retrieving pallets. This solution from Swisslog increased storage density and optimized space utilization, leading to a greater SKU range and shorter lead times. The high-density frozen food storage also saved energy and increased capacity, allowing UNIL to significantly improve its service performance.
