Scandinavian Cosmetics is to automate its operations at a new warehouse in Malmö, Sweden, with Element Logic deploying AutoStore automated storage and picking.

The new warehouse is 64,583 sq ft  and will contain an AutoStore system with a capacity of 30.000 bins. Some 35 robots will provide the AutoStore workstations with bins for picking and packing to meet the Scandinavian Cosmetics’ 900 order lines per hour requirement.

Currently, its operations are based in Norway and Sweden, however, it has chosen to locate its entire operations in Malmö, using the AutoStore system.

Joakim Johnsson, chief executive of Scandinavian Cosmetics, said: “We have clear growth ambitions where, through the investment in AutoStore, we create optimal conditions for quickly and easily being able to scale up our storage capacity.”

The AutoStore solution is planned to be operational during spring 2021.

AutoStore will be showcasing its technology at IntraLogisteX 2020 on the 1st & 2nd October, on stand 200. Register now to see the very latest intralogistics technology!
