CEVA will have Exotec robots in three of its Dutch warehousesCEVA Logistics has added 57 Exotec Skypod robots to two warehouses in Venray, Netherlands.
The Marseille, France-based CEVA Logistics expects the goods-to-person order picking robots, which can climb up to 12 M through the racking system, will be able to handle three times the volume of goods than the system they replace at the two solar-powered warehouses.
CEVA Logistics global head of contract logistics Bart Beeks says: “At CEVA, our culture pushes us to search for innovative solutions to better serve our customers, and the Skypod solution offers significant value in warehouse automation.
“As a result of our strong commitment to responsive logistics, our customers have come to expect a high level of service, efficiency and agility in our operations. Implementing Exotec's solution, among others, enables us to continue creating value alongside our customers.”
Exotec senior sales executive Wim Vermeir says: “A major logistics provider like CEVA gives us valuable input from its practice with external logistics parties that we can use to further improve our services.”
The new automation system is scalable, allowing the addition of more robots, pick stations or totes, giving the warehouse managers the ability to respond to changing market conditions and customer demand.
CEVA’s warehouse in Roosendaal has already deployed Exotec Skypod robots.
CEVA Logistics, a unit of French transport conglomerate CMA CGM Group, has more than 1,300 facilities in 170 countries worldwide.
