Logistics automation innovator Dematic has launched its micro-fulfillment solution, designed to help retailers across industries address increased consumer demand for rapid online order fulfillment in a small footprint. The Dematic solution empowers customers with high throughput requirements to maximize space and achieve profitability with e-commerce ordering, ultimately, advancing their omnichannel distribution strategy to give customers what they want when they want it with one-hour fulfillment.
Dematic’s micro-fulfillment solution implements a compact, automated goods-to-person shuttle system within a section of a retail store, dark store or urban fulfillment center, in an area as small as 1,000 square meters. Automation enables the retailer to pick and process orders approximately ten times faster than the manual in-store method. Inventory information is available in real-time and accuracy is near perfect, which results in satisfied customers who can pick up their orders within one hour of placement. Orders can also be transferred to other stores or delivered directly to the consumer.
