Innovative systems

Take a load off your plate with automated storage and retrieval (AS/RS). Labour scarcity, the rising cost of floor space and increasing consumer demands may well be issues of concern, but the right storage system is the game changer. 

Vanderlande recognises the importance of AS/RS in meeting the tough demands of any logistics operation. Our solutions will help you to maximise efficiency and productivity – and make optimal use of that precious floor space. 

Our range of AS/RS integrates seamlessly into existing operations and includes the ADAPTO and HDS shuttle systems. These systems can effortlessly handle totes, trays and cartons. And thanks to our experience and expertise, we can help you find the most appropriate solution. 

These have already been installed in more than 400 leading brands, including URBN, Asda and Zalando.

Order picking – also known as order fulfilment – is the process of retrieving products from storage in order to meet a specific customer demand. Processing orders rapidly and accurately has a direct impact on customer satisfaction.

Selecting the best order-picking solution depends on the requirements of individual operations and products. Vanderlande’s experience and expertise in designing and implementing these systems takes into consideration such criteria as volume and item velocity.

Integrated order-picking solutions ensure each product is picked via the most suitable method. Attention will also be given to whether they will handle individual items, full cases or pallets. Vanderlande has already supplied these solutions to companies such as Amazon and Arrow Electronics.

Automated order-picking systems can:

increase productivity by up to 1,000 lines per man hour
improve picking accuracy by up to 99.99%
help to deliver higher customer service levels
optimise space utilisation by up to 40% (compared to conventional warehouses).

Sortation – it’s the beating heart of any warehouse operation. It’s got to be efficient, accurate and automated. And we’ve got the innovative systems that can improve your productivity and throughput.  

Several parts of the supply chain benefit from automated sortation, through: 

efficient unloading of inbound containers 
cross-docking for fast distribution to retail outlets  
cost-effective order picking 
and fast and accurate shipping sortation. 

Vanderlande offers a range of line sorters (sliding shoe sorters and pusher sorters) and loop sorters (cross-belt sorters and tilt-tray sorters) depending your needs.  

We have installed automated sortation systems at many leading brands, including Urban Outfitters and Zalando. 

Shipping is the final piece of the warehousing jigsaw – and it needs to be spot on to keep consumers happy. Introducing automated order and shipping consolidation systems will enhance the efficiency of loading dollies, pallets and roll cages. This in turn improves store-friendly delivery and cuts transport costs.

The internal transport that connects all logistic processes within your warehouse or distribution centre plays a key role in the effective use of automated sortation, storage and order-picking systems.
