DB Schenker with new system solution for E‑Commerce
Self-driving robots and automated packaging revolutionise the management of online orders
DB Schenker Logistics is the first 3PL worldwide implementing CarryPick, an AGV (Automatic Guided Vehicles) based goods to man picking and automated packaging solution, as part of its strategy to strengthen its position in the e-commerce logistics.
The CarryPick solution is part of the Swisslog Click&Pick® e-commerce portfolio. Combined with an integrated parcel delivery system, the solution is currently being implemented for Lekmer.com, one of Scandinavia’s largest online toy retailers. Core of the solution are self-driving robots which bring mobile racks to the picking stations.
“The CarryPick solution is ideal for customers with large online business, who are looking for faster order processing and significant productivity/efficiency improvements at lower handling costs,” says Kurt Leidinger, CEO DB Schenker in Austria and Southeastern Europe, about the new system solution.
In addition to the online order fulfillment activities, DB Schenker E-commerce product portfolio includes an online returns processing solution, (considering the much higher number of returns in online sales compared to brick-and-mortar sales) and additional WebShop and customer service center solutions that can also added to the overall solutions provided to the customers.
