Efficient order picking thanks to 'goods to man': Eisenmann equips IKEA's biggest logistics centre

摘要

The Swedish furniture group IKEA supplies its branches Europe-wide with products, characterized by high share of order picking, from Dortmund in Germany. The plant engineering specialist Eisenmann, operating on an international level, equipped Europe's biggest logistics centre with a total of 3,500 m of electric monorail systems (EMS). The EMS systems are designed such that they are used to pick orders. They operate on the basis of the "pick by light" principle.
