Safe storage and picking of wine and spirits
Comunian Bevande is one of Italy’s leading beverage retailers. The company supplies its customers from a portfolio of around 2,000 different products.
To improve safety and efficiency, the warehouse had to be converted from a manual to an automatic operation. A new storage and retrieval system from Kardex Remstar was the optimal solution.
Comunian Bevande supplies bars, restaurants, canteens, and other business partners throughout Italy with wine, beer, and spirits. With a product range that includes around 2,000 different items, the company – formed in 1972 – is one of the country’s market leaders.
The warehouse keeps 30,000 bottles of wine and spirits in stock. Approximately 1,000 bottles a day are picked to order there. The bottles are dispatched both individually and in boxes of six. To improve the quality of service, the wholesaler set itself the target of delivering mixed orders (a combination of boxes and individual bottles) to its customers within 24 hours.
