The de-globalization of supply chains, the questioning of "just-in-time", rising freight costs: logistics specialists face a number of challenges in meeting consumer demand and requirements.
They need to be resilient and agile in managing their flows and order picking. In this respect, the SCALLOG robotic solution is a key competitive advantage for optimizing picking, in the shortest possible time and at the lowest possible cost. As proof, SCALLOG's customers meet their daily economic and business challenges with efficiency and agility, using its Goods to Person solution - robots that transport shelves to operators!
Double or even triple storage density and productivity in the face of m² shortage!
Faced with a land shortage on the "Lille-Paris-Lyon" backbone, France's goal of zero artificial development by 2050, and a context of economic uncertainty, logisticians are keen to optimize m² in their warehouses, by exploiting headroom, tracking down voids and prioritizing flexibility. Already, more than a quarter of SCALLOG's customers operate its Goods To Person robotic solution under or on mezzanine floors, in both new and existing warehouses. New ecological regulations mean that today's latest-generation logistics platforms must include green spaces and water recovery tanks, in addition to parking lots, which are synonymous with unused m². The same applies to existing warehouses, where every m² needs to be made profitable, without the need for land extension. The SCALLOG solution acts on two key factors in warehouse performance: yield per m² and human productivity. It makes storage denser, while eliminating the need to move around and limiting the number of tedious movements required of operators. In this way, the SCALLOG solution can divide the picking area by 2 or even 3, and increase operator productivity by over 40%.
Gaining agility in your intralogistics in a VUCA world!
In an increasingly VUCA (Volatibility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity) world, such as the delivery delays and soaring shipping prices resulting from the attacks in the Red Sea, logistics - and de facto warehousing - requires constant adaptability in order to absorb hazards and meet consumer demands in terms of product availability and speed of delivery. One of the key factors in transforming variations in demand and various contingencies into business opportunities in the warehouse is a resolutely agile and adaptable intralogistics system. 100% of SCALLOG's customers rely on its decade-long experience and multi-sector expertise acquired from over 70 installations to make their intralogistics agile. In addition to deploying its Goods to Person robotic solution, SCALLOG is firmly positioned as an integrator, working closely with the Logistics Department to maximize existing intralogistics (station conveyors, etc.). In this way, SCALLOG's robotic solution serves the business needs of logisticians, with an emphasis on adaptability, scalability and agility!
Looking for growth beyond your core business!
As crises multiply and new growth drivers emerge, a company's business priorities can change rapidly, whether in terms of offering, business or distribution channel. Constantly striving to differentiate themselves in competitive markets, at a time of reindustrialization, concentration of players and new consumer demands, companies in the industrial, retail and agri-food sectors are looking for new growth drivers in terms of "top-of-the-range" or even related offers and services. Once again, logistics, and de facto warehousing, are on the front line in supporting company growth and the new uses of private and professional customers, such as hyper-connectivity, responsible consumption, second-hand goods, etc. More than a third of SCALLOG customers, from 3PLs to manufacturers, have already extended their Goods To Person robotics solution, on one or more sites, to optimize their BtoB or BtoC order picking, with a view to expanding and diversifying!
And tomorrow, the focus will be on last-mile logistics in ever denser urban areas! Increasingly, the idea is to re-establish logistics hubs close to cities by reinvesting derelict or formerly industrial sites, or even to create small urban logistics units by converting parking lots. In our view, the Goods to Person SCALLOG robotic solution, resolutely modular and agile, is the key to the future of urban logistics, in the face of restricted space and regulatory constraints.
