Project brief
The BITO Solution
Automated small parts warehouse + XL Motion containers
» In the shuttle-serviced small parts warehouse of their fulfilment centre, expert SE uses BITO XL Motion containers which have been designed as a classic container system for automated environments.
On-site application and key features of our storage solution
- A total of 46,000 BITO XL Motion containers are moved through the automated warehouse of expert Warenvertrieb GmbH.
- The containers are partitioned with dividers to accommodate expert SE's changing and varied product portfolio.
- Product labelling on the XL Motion Box has been standardised for automated use. The labels can be affixed in a slightly set-back area and are therefore well protected.
Customer benefits
In what way has the BITO solution helped our customer to realise their full potential?
- The specifically designed base and outer surface ensure that the BITO XL Motion container is extremely quiet on conveyor systems.
- The noise level in the fulfilment centre's shuttle-serviced warehouse has therefore been significantly reduced.
- The divider system for BITO XL Motion containers enables multiple subdivisions and offers unmatched flexibility.
"The BITO XL Motion container is a perfect product that exactly matches our requirements. Even in the initial phase of the sale, the support provided by BITO through constant dialogue was fantastic. When using the product, you realise how much engineering expertise has been put into the container series. Noise emission is "swallowed" by the base design, making automated container handling extremely quiet. In line with our product portfolio, the containers can be subdivided as needed. This offers us the greatest possible flexibility: it is no problem to expand our product portfolio or adapt to smaller batch sizes at short notice. Another ideal feature is that the box ID labelling system has been standardised for automated use. Labels are affixed in a recessed field and are therefore protected from damage. When it came to choosing containers for our new shuttle system, this was another plus point in favour of the XL Motion from BITO."
