Benetton Group banks on robots


The Benetton Group, a fashion company with brands such as United Colors of Benetton and Sisley and a retail network of more than 4,000 shops, has contracted Dematic to install an ‘auto-store system’ at the group’s logistics facilities in Villorba, in the province of Treviso in northeastern Italy.

The aim is to improve the company's e-commerce distribution by optimising warehouse capacity and order processing by the end of 2022. The amount of space required will be reduced, picking times will be decreased and the life of the logistics equipment will be extended.

The integrated auto-store system will include 60,000 containers and orders will be picked by 53 mobile robots, which will then transport them to one of 12 picking stations; there they’ll be assembled for further processing. (sh)
