Dynamic Scalability
End-to-End Traceability
Solving FMCG Industry Challenges Profitably
Limited warehouse space, rising cost pressure, and severe labor shortage are shaping daily operations in FMCG logistics. Inefficient, purely manual warehouse processes slow down the entire supply chain and tie up unnecessary capital. Transitioning to partially or fully automated systems is no longer just an option for future-ready businesses - it is essential to maintaining profitability.
Increase Process Reliability and Minimize Error Rates
Manual processes are prone to errors and lead to costly returns. System-supported, guided picking significantly reduces error rate, prevents incorrect inventory, and ensures every order is processed accurately and reliably.
Handel Seasonal Order Peaks with Flexibility
Promotional campaigns and holiday seasons regularly push intralogistics operations to their limits. Our scalable systems absorb these peak periods efficiently - without relying on expensive temporary labor or inefficient staffing increases.
Guarantee the Shortest Delivery Times for E-Commerce
Today`s customers expect next-day delivery as the standard. To deliver this service cost-effectively and profitably, our solutions dramatically optimize throughput times - from inbound storage to outbound shipping.
Ensure Strict Compliance with Expiration Date Requirements
Perishable goods such as dairy products and sensitive hygiene products require complete inventory transparency and strict FIFO or FEFO inventory managements. This ensures full traceability of every single batch.
Maximize Throughput Performance
FMCG products demand exeptionally high inventory turnover. Automated warehouse solutions ensure consistently high throughput and enable smooth, highly efficient 24/7 operations whenever needed.
Our 3D Shuttle System in Detail
Future-ready FMCG logistics requires a perfectly synchronized end-to-end system. Our solution seamlessly combines autonomous robotics with flexible racking structures and intelligent material handling processes. From rack and shelf to inbound and outbound logistics, every component works together as one integrated system.
01
Autonomous Shuttle: The Core of advasolutions Warehouse Automation
The autonomous shuttle from advasolutions revolutionizes your intralogistics operations. Unlike rigid stacker cranes or failure-prone centralized storage systems, our vehicles move with complete flexibility. Thanks to independently driven wheels, they travel both vertically and horizontally. A single motor powers all directions of movement, significantly reducing mechanical complexity and lowering operating costs. Controlled by an intelligent Warehouse Management System (WMS) and supported by fully automated battery replacement, the system delivers maximum uptime without bottlenecks.
Your Technological and Economic Advantages at a Glance:
Unlimited 3D Navigation: Independent horizontal and vertical movement eliminates the need for failure-prone central lifts.
Maximum Reliability & 24/7 Operation: An automated battery swapping system (3–4 hours of runtime per battery) ensures continuous operation. During charging, open tasks are seamlessly taken over by other shuttles.
Low Maintenance and Independent: One motor powers movement in all directions. Your maintenance team can replace the shuttle without tools, while our remote support team is available whenever assistance is needed.
Flexible Storage Without Container Restrictions: Transport loads of up to 20 kg with dimensions up to 800 × 400 × 600 mm. The system stores cartons and individual items directly—no containers required. Suitable for chilled environments down to 3°C (37°F).
Dynamic Scalability: Easily add additional shuttles during seasonal demand peaks—without costly modifications or downtime.
02
The Modular Rack: The Robust Foundation of Your 3D Warehouse Logistics
The modular rack system forms the foundation of the advasolutions warehouse automation solution. It combines two essential functions: it supports the storage shelves while simultaneously integrating the guide rails for the shuttles.A key element of the system is the vertical transfer shafts, which provide toothed vertical travel paths. These enable the shuttles to move autonomously between storage levels. By strategically positioning multiple transfer shafts throughout the system, material flow is significantly accelerated, allowing multiple shuttles to operate in parallel without blocking one another.This ensures maximum throughput, high system availability, and outstanding scalability - even under peak workloads.
Your Technological and Economic Advantages at a Glance:
Multifunctional Design: The robust steel structure securely supports storage locations while serving as a precise guide system for the shuttles.
Maximum Throughput Performance: Strategically positioned vertical transfer shafts eliminate bottlenecks and enable multiple shuttles to operate simultaneously without interruptions.
Full 3D Mobility: The precisely engineered toothed guide infrastructure allows autonomous vehicles to move smoothly between storage levels.
Modular Scalability & Flexibility: The system grows with your business requirements and can be configured for either maximum storage density or maximum throughput speed.
03
The Shelf: Dynamic Storage Space for Maximum Space Utilization
The Shelf forms the storage area of your system. Instead of relying on fixed storage locations and standardized container sizes, it uses dynamic storage spaces that automatically adapt to the shape and dimensions of your products. Whether cartons, bulky individual items, or palletized goods, everything is stored directly - without time-consuming repacking.The system allocates only the storage space actually required and immediately reassigns freed-up space after an item is retrieved. This creates a continuously self-optimizing storage layout that minimizes unused space and maximizes storage density.
Your Technological and Economic Advantages at a Glance:
Container-Free Storage: Store a wide variety of product types -including palletized goods - directly, without the need for additional repacking.
Dynamic Space Allocation: The system allocates only the storage space required and automatically optimizes the warehouse layout in real time whenever items are retrieved
High Load Capacity: Secure storage with load capacities of up to 200 kg per shelf level, while maintaining minimal shelf deflection of less than 5 mm.
Maximum Storage Density: Precisely optimized shelf spacing eliminates unused vertical space and maximizes storage utilization for your specific product portfolio.
Future-Proof Flexibility: The system adapts effortlessly to growing product ranges and changing product dimensions—without requiring structural modifications.
Inbound and Outbound
Inbound: Error-Free Goods Receiving with 3D Scanning
3D-Scan
Our inbound processes digitize and accelerate your goods receiving operation from the very first second. Advanced 3D scanning technology captures every item in full detail, instantly creating a precise digital data foundation for your warehouse logistics.
Key Benefits at a Glance:
Fully Automated Data Capture: 3D scans record dimensions, weight, expiration date, barcode, serial number, and images in real time.
Optimized Storage Allocation: The system instantly calculates the ideal, most space-efficient storage location for every item.
Complete Traceability: Digital documentation ensures full transparency for every batch from the moment it enters the warehouse.
Significant Error Reduction: Automated data capture eliminates manual entry errors and dramatically accelerates the storage process.
