Order Picking Solution Speeds up Cheese Production
CSB-System International, Willowbrook, Ill., devised an advanced intralogistics system for Swiss cheese producer Züger Frischkäse AG in Oberbüren to automate the company’s stock control process while delivering a 50% time saving in picking speeds. Züger Frischkäse produces a range of cheeses, including mozzarella, feta, ricotta and mascarpone.
The company’s production is already characterized by a high degree of automation and fully integrated information technology. However, CSB-System was asked to modernize the intralogistics to provide a seamless link to the picking and replenishment processes. The CSB-System solution combines high bay storage with mobile picking. Every pallet in the high bay storage is linked to the system with its minimum sell-by date and lot number. This ensures that bays are filled according to the first-in, first-out principle.
