Dematic Micro-Fulfillment Centers for U.S. Grocery & Retail Digital Transformation

Delivering the after-game snack just in time as the kids walk off the field — that's the happy ending. But how do you make that happen? Visit dematic.com/microfulfillment to learn. For something like fresh fruit to be delivered on-demand, hyper-local logistics are a must. The compact, modular design of the Dematic Micro-Fulfillment System allows it to fit neatly into the back room of an existing local retail store. Download our playbook on how micro-fulfillment not only makes on-demand delivery a reality, but also cuts costs: dematic.com/en-us/solutions/solutions-by-function/micro-fulfillment/playbook When an order enters the system, the fulfillment automation kicks into gear. Dematic order management software orchestrates the moves: Automated shuttles within the temperature-controlled storage area retrieve the fruit and then are conveyed to a workstation. A monitor at the workstation provides instructions, and an operator transfers the requested amount to the shipping container. The system retrieves additional items as needed, and operators consolidate the order. Then off it goes to shipping where it is packaged and labeled for delivery — whether that's directly to the customer or in-store or curb-side pickup.
