Smart Storage and Applied Automation was the theme at SSI Schaefer’s recent event hosted at Teva UK in West Yorkshire.
Delegates not only heard the numerous advantages of upgrading their existing logistics operations when combining low level automation with more efficient smart storage systems but they got an opportunity to take a ‘behind the scenes’ look at Teva’s own automated distribution centre.
Teva, part of one of the top 20 pharmaceutical companies in the world and the UK’s leading generic manufacturer of pharmaceutical goods despatching over four million items per day, opened its doors to show fellow industry leaders how they had successfully migrated from a labour intensive manual warehousing operation to a new automated distribution centre.
With the help of SSI Schaefer, Teva UK significantly increased its storage capacity, improved overall picking performance and sharpened efficiency and customer service levels all whilst reducing labour overheads.
