Georg Utz sp. z o.o. will provide 35,000 reusable plastic containers for the new and highly-automated warehouse of Frisco.pl, the largest online supermarket in Poland. The warehouse, with a surface area of 11,000 m2, is located in the Panattoni Europe City Logistics Warsaw park in Klaudyn near Warsaw. This technologically innovative logistics center will use two types of Georg Utz containers: EUROTEC for warehouse automation in the Shuttle system, and containers for the distribution of online orders to the clients’ homes. Both products are fitted with bar codes that enable the management of the distribution system and full control over the package flow.
The sky blue EUROTEC containers, with the dimensions of 600 x 400 x 320 mm, will be used for storage and the internal transport of food. EUROTEC is intended for automatic handling in all popular warehousing systems. Thanks to the special slots, the EUROTEC containers are perfect for handling with an industrial robot, thus enabling their precise mounting on automatic conveyors. The container is available in many sizes and with many base variations. The type of the base that is chosen suits the planned load of the container, thus eliminating potential warping and ensuring correct movement on the conveyors. The Frisco.pl warehouse uses, in total, 25,000 EUROTEC containers with a double base. A further 5,000 containers are fitted with special dividers which form four compartments to facilitate storage and the fine picking of food products.
“We are pleased that our reusable containers will be used in the new Frisco.pl warehouse. It is a unique investment in our country and the first automatic warehouse intended exclusively for the sale of food over the Internet. This is a huge step forward for the e-grocery industry which attracts more and more clients interested in buying food via the Internet with home delivery. We wish all the best to Frisco.pl and we hope that our solutions will help to complete their business plans,” says Wojciech Bytner, Managing Director of Georg Utz.
