EDEKA Nord relies on WITRON technology in Neumünster
Indhold fra partner Hvad er dette?
As part of its optimization campaign “Logistics 2030”, EDEKA Nord again relies on the storage and picking systems of the general contractor WITRON from Parkstein, Germany, for the design and implementation of the new regional warehouse in Neumünster.
With 26 COM machines of the latest generation, the currently largest German food distribution center that is run by WITRON’s OPM technology is being built in the state of Schleswig-Holstein. From mid-2025, EDEKA’s DC will supply almost 700 stores of the EDEKA Regionalgesellschaft Nord with more than 10,000 dry goods. EDEKA Nord and WITRON implemented a highly automated central warehouse in Zarrentin (Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania) already in 2015, which was expanded in 2019.
“Our decision to invest in the OPM solution was based not only on economic aspects and workstation ergonomics but also on environmental factors such as CO2 savings in transportation thanks to efficiently packed load carriers for optimal trailer utilization”, explains Uwe Schmidt, Project Contractor for “Logistics 2030” at EDEKA Nord.
The facility with a size of 46,300 square meters includes a total of 70,050 pallet locations, 583,600 tray locations, and 67 highly dynamic stacker cranes. It is designed for a daily picking capacity of 365,750 cases. Most of the cases are stacked fully automatically onto pallets and roll containers by 26 COM machines - without errors and in a way that makes unloading and replenishing in stores easier and faster. Bulky goods are picked by the logistics staff supported by the semi-automated WITRON Car Picking system (CPS). Parallel picking of several orders onto one industrial truck is possible. The WITRON Display Pallet Picking System (DPP) places half and quarter pallets fully automatically onto pallets and roll containers. An intelligent WITRON IT platform ensures a holistic connection between all processes within the internal and external supply chain and thus guarantees high flexibility as well as process optimization in real-time.
As already established at the six other automated EDEKA and two NETTO sites throughout Germany, a WITRON OnSite team will also be responsible for service and maintenance of all processes and system components in Neumünster.

Margaret Wilson successfully manages a WITRON OnSite team with more than 100 staff members
Margaret Wilson doesn’t need her own office. “I have a desk next to the conveyor system”, says the WITRON site manager with a smile. Since 2018, she has been responsible for one of the largest U.S. WITRON OnSite teams, which works at the logistics center of grocery retailer Kroger in Tolleson, Arizona. The heart of the highly automated system is the OPM solution, which the retailer was the first customer worldwide to opt for in 2003.

Strategi & ledelse
“Always start with the goal in mind”
For many years, Thomas Kerkenhoff was responsible for logistics at EDEKA Rhein-Ruhr Stiftung & Co. KG, with its network including the two highly automated distribution centers in Hamm and Oberhausen - and he is a man of clear words: “In order to operate a facility successfully and economically in the long-term, you need a very good team, both at your logistics partner and on site that is constantly working on the enhancement of the mechanical components and the software. But this only works if you also have a partner who has already implemented a large number of systems in the industry worldwide, and thus has extensive experience, know-how, and references.” Kerkenhoff knows what and who he is talking about. He has been a WITRON customer for more than 15 years.

E.Leclerc Socamil and WITRON win prestigious French logistics award
Great honors for E.Leclerc Socamil. The French food retailer received the “Rois de la Supply Chain 2022” award, the most prestigious logistics prize in France, from the “Supply Chain Magazine”. The award was given for the fully automated omnichannel / multi-temperature distribution center in Calstelnaudery and was designed and implemented by the logistics lifetime partner WITRON. The core innovation is the world debut FPM (Flow Picking Machinery), a fully automated “flow-through warehouse” for the complete range of fresh and ultra-fresh products. FPM was described by the jury as a paradigm shift in the supply chain of French fresh produce logistics. The award now allows E.Leclerc to participate in the European Logistics Association Award.
