Developed by German warehouse and logistics specialist SSI Sch\u00e4fer, the site is designed to serve as the backbone of the grocery retailer\u2019s supply chain transformation. Spanning 77,000 square metres, it is one of the largest of its kind in Europe.<\/p>\n<p>The new distribution hub operates around the clock and is largely automated. Different from its competitors, SSI Sch\u00e4fer uses robots for depalletising and store-specific palletising. For a long time, it seemed to be impossible to handle groceries at case level with robots due to due to their unstable and varied packaging.<\/p>\n<p>The operation in Eskilstuna is driven by SSI Sch\u00e4fer\u2019s integrated automation portfolio. A total of 25 SSI Exyz stacker cranes handle pallet storage across ambient and chilled zones, while ten robots depalletise goods into two automated small-parts warehouses with over 600,000 tote and tray locations.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>End-to-end automation<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Storage and retrieval are powered by approximately 700 SSI Flexi shuttles working in combination with SSI Sch\u00e4fer\u2019s 3D-Matrix solution, which provides buffering and sequencing within a single system. The required sequence is managed and controlled by Wamas, SSI Sch\u00e4fer\u2019s logistic software.<\/p>\n<p>Order fulfilment relies on the SSI Case Picking system, with 34 palletising robots assembling store-ready mixed pallets. The SSI Pack Pattern Generator module within Wamas optimises pallet stability, volume efficiency and store-friendly layouts, ensuring high picking quality across Coop\u2019s complex grocery assortment.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Site serves more than 800 stores<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The entire facility runs on Wamas logistic software, which acts as the central platform for real-time monitoring and data-driven control \u2013 from goods inspection to shipping. Around 80 on-site technicians maintain and optimise both the IT and mechanical systems, ensuring 24\/7 availability.<\/p>\n<p>Coop as one of Sweden\u2019s largest retailers will use this newly automated distribution centre to supply more than 800 of its stores. \u201cBy automating key processes, we increase our overall productivity, ensure high and consistent quality, and improve our ability to deliver on time,\u201d says Ulf Axelsson, Managing Director at Coop Terminals. \u201cWe are very satisfied with the results and the collaborative partnership with SSI Schaefer.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"A6909D51_E9F7_D807_229F_AA5F2DAE4F0E\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-e16471a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"e16471a\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c0cd26a\" data-id=\"c0cd26a\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9f5c439 elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"9f5c439\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/watch?v=7NTioW-mVDs&quot;,&quot;autoplay&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;play_on_mobile&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;mute&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;loop&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-video\"><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-0533807 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"0533807\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e0ba976\" data-id=\"e0ba976\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f6c72de elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f6c72de\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><em>The video provides insight into the automation of Coop Sweden&#8217;s distribution centre in Eskilstuna.
