Grants for Innovations We invest in your future Project name: Investment in Intelligent Logistics Center (ICL) at Nutrifarm Sp. z o. o. Beneficiary: Nutrifarm Sp. z o. o Project implementation period: 2012 - 2015 Project Co-financed by the European Union under Measure 4.6. "Support for the first implementation of the invention" of the Innovative Economy Operational Program 2007 - 2013 The creation of the Intelligent Logistics Center is related to the very dynamic development of the company and the rapidly increasing demand for modern warehouse space, as well as advanced logistics solutions. The investment is to ensure even faster, more reliable and safer distribution thanks to a combination of innovations in the field of storage systems and robotics. In the process of establishing the Center, an innovative concept of storage and logistics methods was used, based on own inventions and patent applications. Solutions that have not been used so far in the broadly understood pharmaceutical industry were implemented. New development trends and challenges faced by the global market were taken into account, with particular attention being paid to the need to maintain full quality control of the products served, the need to protect customers against counterfeit products, as well as the correctness and effectiveness of the supply and distribution chain. As a result of the project, it turned out to be possible to implement a unique logistics service on an industrial scale. The core of the complex is the 34-meter-high Silo warehouse with a self-supporting structure with a capacity of 11,000 pallets, serviced by three automatic stacker cranes with a pallet conveyor system. Thanks to the use of a separate maintenance-free zone, it was possible to use the Inerting system as fire protection. A complete picking system is in operation in the adjacent building consisting of three interconnected, differentiated storeys. One of the zones of the Logistics Center is occupied by the Mini-Load warehouse, which ensures optimal order handling, regardless of the structure. There, the pallets were replaced by 11,000 Euroboxes filled with collective and unit packaging, which will be issued by 4 stacker cranes. This unique warehouse is powered automatically by a depalletizing robot which, after receiving the pallet, places the goods on it in plastic containers. The most time-consuming stage of shipping, i.e. picking small orders, is mainly done by a picking robot. For the efficient preparation of shipments, Goods-To-Man stations connected with the Pick-To-Light system were also implemented, thanks to which, despite the manual nature of the operation - the possibility of human errors is eliminated, keeping the execution time at the highest level. Efficient coordination and optimization of processes is ensured by the prepared WMS system integrated with the ERP system. Real-time data exchange and tracking the process of complementing and tracking goods at every stage is possible thanks to the 2D code system with an individual packaging number. The volume of the storage and order picking zones, with 23,000 pallets and Euroboxes, is 128,484 m³. The cost of building an Intelligent Logistics Center reached PLN 87 million. The project was co-financed by the European Union under the measure 4.6 "Support for the first implementation of the invention" Innovative Economy Operational Program 2007 - 2013.
