Announcement made at Materials Handling Middle East 2019 Exhibition
Swisslog announced that it had completed a major project for the Middle East’s leading telecom distributor for handsets and accessories, Axiom Telecom (Axiom), for the design and implementation of a new Dubai-based automated warehouse facility with AutoStore.
The Swisslog AutoStore solution deployed was designed to fulfill Axiom’s requirement of 25,000 deliveries and consists of nine robots and five picking stations, providing storage space for 12,500 bins as well as ten gravity shipping lanes for efficient order consolidation.
Swisslog automation solutions enable Axiom Telecom to reduce total cost ownership, fulfill a greater number of deliveries and adapt to seasonal peaks.
Known as the region’s largest retailer and distributor, Axiom has more than 5,000 points of sale and 2,000 employees across the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia.
With a high volume of daily orders delivered across multiple channels and a demanding customer base, Axiom is expected to provide speed, accuracy, and a competitive service to ensure its future in the face of increased competition and is utilising the power of logistics automation to be able to do so.
Swisslog has announced this project during its participation in Materials Handling Middle East (MHME), the region’s dedicated trade show for warehousing, intralogistics and supply chain solutions held during the first week of September 2019. Reports indicate that industry turnover is expected to reach US$ 66.3bn by the end of 2020.
