The Rohlik Group has long invested in modern technologies that enable it to provide top-quality services in online grocery sales. When building a distribution center for the knuspr.de brand in Germany, the emphasis was placed on a fully integrated and scalable solution that could handle growing order volumes while guaranteeing high-quality service. LogTech became a partner in the project, providing a complete conveyor system including advanced control elements.
The entire warehouse operation is based on a two-story conveyor system that connects the AutoStore cubic storage system with the picking zone equipped with gravity racks and robotic picking from BrightPick. In both temperature zones – ambient (dry storage) and refrigerated – the same concept of integrating individual technologies into a functional whole is used. The lower conveyor tracks transport picked customer orders for dispatch, while the upper level is reserved for the circulation of empty containers. LogTech designed the solution to handle daily intensive operation while ensuring the safe movement of workers, which is achieved, among other things, by special bridge crossings.
The conveyor route includes integrated stations where containers are automatically weighed and measured and identified using camera systems. These systems can reliably read barcodes with more than 99% accuracy, even in the case of damaged or dirty labels. Based on this data, the containers are routed to specific outputs, where they are picked up by BrightPick robots. The conveyor system has a modular design, allowing for easy connection of additional shipping lines without disrupting operations.
The system is designed for a throughput of up to 1,800 crates per hour on direct routes and 1,600 crates per hour on 90° transfer units. Standardized plastic crates, used throughout the Rohlik group, are processed regardless of their age or degree of wear. Another key feature is the connection to the fire alarm system and other safety measures, which allow operations to be stopped quickly in the event of an emergency and ensure clear escape routes.
The implementation of an automated storage system with a backbone conveyor system at the knuspr.de warehouse in Berlin is delivering clear results: order processing has been significantly accelerated, process reliability has increased dramatically, and employees now have a safer and more ergonomic working environment. Thanks to its flexible architecture, the system remains open to further growth and expansion in line with the dynamic development of the knuspr.de brand.
The implementation of the knuspr.de distribution center demonstrates LogTech's high level of expertise in designing and implementing solutions that integrate cutting-edge technology with the practical requirements of the rapidly growing online grocery market.
