Successful outcome of a company-wide supply chain transformation
At its distribution centers in Brisbane and Sydney, Coles uses state-of-the-art WITRON technology to pick 1.6 billion sales units annually from a dry goods range comprising 19,000 different items. More than 90 percent of these items are picked either fully automatically or at semi-automated workstations. The WITRON solution has fundamentally transformed not only the processes in the distribution centers but also enhanced efficiency and product availability in the stores. Working conditions for Coles’ employees have also significantly improved. As a result, nearly 18 million kilograms of manual lifting and carrying have been completely eliminated each week across the entire supply chain. By halving the required footprint compared to a manual warehouse, the ecological impact has been substantially reduced - enabling the implementation of a business model that is both economically viable and environmentally sustainable. A third, even larger logistics center is already under construction in Melbourne.

TJ Morris and WITRON deepen partnership
The British family-owned enterprise TJ Morris awarded WITRON the order to design and implement a circa 1 million sf2 distribution centre for food and non-food products. The highly automated facility in Doncaster is designed for a daily picking capacity of 646,000 cases and will supply over 300 stores from a range of 10,000 different dry goods from mid-2028. The signing of the contract is a particular vote of confidence, as a TJ Morris distribution centre of similar size will be put into operation by WITRON in St Helens in May 2025, and WITRON have already received the contract for the Doncaster Distribution Centre.

“Always start with the goal in mind” - Durability and flexibility of highly dynamic logistics centers
For many years, Thomas Kerkenhoff was responsible for logistics at EDEKA Rhein-Ruhr Stiftung & Co. KG, with its network including the two highly automated distribution centers in Hamm and Oberhausen - and he is a man of clear words: “In order to operate a facility successfully and economically in the long-term, you need a very good team, both at your logistics partner and on site that is constantly working on the enhancement of the mechanical components and the software. But this only works if you also have a partner who has already implemented a large number of systems in the industry worldwide, and thus has extensive experience, know-how, and references.” Kerkenhoff knows what and who he is talking about. He has been a WITRON customer for more than 15 years.
