Automated warehouse for Bohus Norway

A lean solution for a wide product range

To realise the new central warehouse, Norway's largest furniture retailer Bohus opted for an automated warehousing concept for the first time. A flexible pallet and small-parts warehouse ensures increased storage capacity, stable processes and significantly improved delivery capability. 

Challenges

  • Conception and implementation of an automated, future-proof warehouse solution
  • Increase in warehouse capacity for permanent expansion of the inventory
  • Improving efficiency through optimised processes and a smoother flow of goods
  • Permanent reduction of the country-specific high transport costs in Norway
  • Creating a sustainable solution while opting for maximum process-related improvements

Solutions

  • Automated high-bay warehouse for containers, pallets and special pallets
  • Racking systems, stacker cranes and conveyor technology for various loading aids
  • Three separate picking areas including workstation equipment
  • Jungheinrich Warehouse Control System WCS combined with the customer's ERP system
  • Using trucks powered by Li-ion batteries
  • Implementing stacker crane with energy regeneration in automated warehouse

Successes

  • Secure storage of the entire range of goods in one central warehouse
  • Doubled storage capacity, better planning capability and high storage flexibility
  • Increased process reliability and damage-free product handling thanks to automated processes
  • Better overview of the existing range of goods and error-free deliveries to customers
  • More efficient and leaner flow of goods, which leads to fewer internal transports
  • Utilisation of height, which leads to a smaller footprint and shorter internal transports
  • 17 % decrease in energy consumption
