Vertical automatic storage system

for the food industrycompacthigh-density

Overview
Faced with increasing urban density and reduced distribution space, SAVOYE proposes end-to-end, modular Micro-Fulfillment Center (MFC) solutions designed for food e-commerce order picking: drive-throughs, home delivery and click & collect. Solutions are designed to maximise proximity, responsiveness and customer pick-up options while fitting into small surfaces from 500 to 1500 m².

Food e-commerce: optimum service with minimum space
End-to-end modular solutions tailored to grocery order picking with adaptability to drive-throughs, store integration, satellite drive-throughs and urban micro-fulfilment centers. Solutions focus on compactness and can be implemented in small areas (from 500 to 1500 m²).

Adapting to your environment and operational constraints

• Goods-to-person preparation combining high-performance ergonomic picking stations with automated product storage systems to eliminate operator travel time.
• Buffering of finalised orders and sequenced consolidation at collection time, enabling very short waiting times and flexible collection schedules.
• Hybrid processes where the system stores both products to pick and prepared orders to optimise flow and throughput.

Strengths

• Tri-temperature management: equipment designed for ambient (> +8°C / 46°F), chilled (+0 to +8°C / 32 to 46°F) and frozen (down to -25°C / -18°F) zones.
• Compact: use of the building’s entire height, adjoining and stacking of dedicated zones by temperature.
• Responsiveness: minimum picking time to increase the number of available pick-up slots.
• Control: sequencing and synchronization of picking per temperature zone.

Robotic lockers
Robotic lockers are offered to enable click & collect outside store opening hours, supporting consumer proximity and extended pickup flexibility.

5 reasons to automate your micro-fulfillment center

• Turnover: automation increases the range of individual products stored for a given surface area.
• Performance: reduced picking times and increased productivity.
• Speed: more deliveries possible per time slot.
• ROI: rapid return on investment.
• Ergonomics: more comfortable operator stations.

Food e‑commerce: available automation solutions
Appropriate automated solutions are proposed to increase quality of service, product availability and pick-up slot capacity. Solutions integrate automated storage, goods-to-person stations, buffering and consolidation capabilities.
