A glimpse into the solution

Goods-in and decanting

After the groceries have been delivered to the CFC, the Shufersal Online employees working at the 30 decanting stations across the different temperature zones repack them into storage containers. Depending on the inventory turnover rate of the goods, our high-performance Streamline conveyor system conveys the containers to the Evo Shuttle for storage or to the picking stations for further processing.

Storage and order fulfillment

The order containers are opened and any waste is removed before they are conveyed to the buffer. Then they are transported to one of the 4 autobagging machines. The autobagging machine then places 1–2 paper bags into the containers and opens them using its suction cups automatically.

Sequencing for shipping

First, the order containers are sequenced according to the delivery routes and sorted according to the order of delivery. Then, the orders are stacked by our automatic stacking machines and delivered to customers’ homes directly.

Our innovations at Shufersal

Pick-it-Easy Robot

Our robot handles the entire range of products fully automatically. The robot uses its specially designed grippers to precisely and carefully place delicate items in the paper bag. Combined with vision systems, the Pick-it-Easy Robot is able to securely determine the grip point and fill the shopping bag perfectly.

Evo Shuttle for frozen foods

The high-grade construction of the Evo Shuttle means it can handle all temperature zones, ensuring smooth processes in the CFC, from decanting and picking all the way to shipping. The freezer blocks for the order containers can be stored in the shuttle system, which also buffers orders whenever required.

Fully automatic bagging

Fully automatic bagging machines place 2 paper grocery bags into each order container. They then open the bags and fold back the top rim. The order containers with the opened bags are then conveyed to the picking stations, where the employees and robots can fill the bags with items easily.
