Swisslog And Medline Collaboration Results In New Autostore Installation In Aurora, Colorado
"Medline was the first company in North America to implement the AutoStore technology in 2013. Swisslog is proud of our partnership with Medline and honored that they continue to trust us to automate and support their facilities with state-of-the-art automation and software," said Sean Wallingford, president and CEO of Swisslog Americas. "This milestone deployment exemplifies how well our two teams are working together to transform the company's supply chain, increasing fulfillment speed and operational capacity and flexibility."
"AutoStore plays an important role in helping Medline service all points of care efficiently. The technology has particularly helped us enhance our pick rate, leading to an improvement in service quality," said Daniel Schwartz, vice president of engineering at Medline.
Medline's more than 20 AutoStore installations across the country deploy 1,800 robots. The company feels strongly that implementing the advanced automation and software across its supply chain network has improved pick rates by two to four times and plays a role in enabling next day delivery to 95% of U.S. customers.
Angelica Chavez, director of operations for Medline's Aurora distribution center added, "This investment in our facility means that Medline is committed to expanding our work in the Denver area. With the aid of this technology, our team will be able to increase the speed of our deliveries and service offerings to healthcare providers throughout Colorado and its surrounding states."
