Edeka Group has rolled out new pick-by-voice technology to the logistics centres from six of its seven regional companies. For order picking, employees now wear Lydia Voice Wear smart vests. Logistics solutions specialist Ehrhardt Partner Group (EPG) implemented both hardware and software.

Last week, Rewe Group launched a new distribution centre in Magdeburg Rothensee with automation technology from Kuka subsidiary Swisslog. Up to now, the retail group has mainly relied on Witron for the automation of distribution centres, whose automation technology largely operates without robotics.
