Challenge

  • Legacy system unequipped for demand shifts: After years of success with Infios Warehouse Management, Hawesko’s fulfillment network was pushed to its limits as pandemic-driven e-commerce demand surged.
  • Need for scalable, high-volume e-commerce processing: To handle the rapid growth in online orders, Hawesko required a warehouse solution that could expand capacity without disrupting ongoing operations.
  • Complex integration requirements: Hawesko sought a single, trusted partner capable of seamlessly integrating new automation technology into an established facility with minimal downtime.

Solution

  • Unified control for automation:  Infios Warehouse Management and Infios Unified Control System were deployed to synchronize human workflows with a flexible goods-to-person Geekplus AMR system, enabling automation within existing infrastructure.
  • Precision at scale: The AMRs, guided by Infios integration and pick-by-light technology, now mobilize over 130,000 bottles per shift and process an average of 800 goods per hour across just three workstations, achieving speed, accuracy and scalability in one seamless flow.

“With Infios, the project was put into practice within five months. The large warehouse was relieved, and the expansion area was in operation.”
