Needs and the proposed solution
Order preparation constitutes a decisive aspect for a company like AS Healthcare.
The enterprise must offer quality service,
which allows it to satisfactorily attend to
a high number of orders that it receives,
with many different SKUs and short prep
times, regardless of the size or weight of the
product.
Orders received must be sent to the hospitals, health centers and pharmacies on the
same day.
The AS Healthcare division
In 2000, Arvato created the Healthcare division (AS Healthcare), from which it offers specialized services and technology for
the healthcare sector to improve patient
relations.
The logistics platform of 4. 45 acres that
AS Healthcare has in Chanteloup-en-Brie
sends annually 700,000 orders.
To do this, and after thoroughly examining
the needs of the company, they opted to automate a portion of the order preparation
process via a conveyor circuit with rollers.
Automation guarantees efficient picking, as
well as logistics cost savings and decreased
error rates.
The conveyor circuit is the heart of the installation, which was supplemented with
carton flow racking that incorporates the
pick-to-light system, pallet racking and an
ample consolidation, sorting and dispatch
area for goods.
