Successful inspiration session on Logistics & E-commerce in Belgium
On June 7, Kasteel Sint-Michiels in Sint-Katelijne-Waver, Belgium, was the inspiring venue for Groenewout’s inspiation and networking session on ‘Logistics & E-commerce’. More then 60 attendees were treated three interactive presentations, plus there was plenty of time for networking.
Dirk Becks started the afternoon with a presentation on automated order-picking concepts. Which automation-based logistics concepts are currently available? The primary focus was on market newcomers and new concepts that are currently being developed. Gert Hellemans of Active Ants Belgium – powering bpostgroup explained how Active Ants is successfully deploying the innovative combination of AutoStore and AMR technology, the pick-in-the-box principle and human employees. After the networkbreak, Dorine Zeeman of bol.com presented on automated packing at bol.com. Zeeman explained bol.com’s chosen solutions and how they were integrated into the overall process.
