Chill out with Swisslog at CeMAT 2025
Intralogistics specialist Swisslog will be displaying its end-to-end warehouse automation solutions at CeMAT in Sydney from 22–24 July at Stand A9.
The Swisslog stand will focus on the company’s multi-temperature warehouse automation solutions, including ambient, chilled and cold storage. Also on display will be its pallet Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS) technology, AutoStore grid-based ASRS and proprietary SynQ software, with live demonstrations.
“Low temperatures make refrigerated warehouses harsh environments, where it is recommended that humans should spend minimal time to avoid hypothermia and other health and safety risks. Using automation to do tasks in freezer areas removes workers from these harsh environments, freeing them up to work in other, more suitable areas,” said Dan Ulmamei, Swisslog’s Managing Director, Australia and New Zealand.
“Additionally, an automated high-bay chilled warehouse can reduce the energy load by as much as 20% compared with conventional more labour-intensive alternatives. Not only does it reduce the power bill, but it typically allows for four times more storage within the same building footprint, so you are maximising your use of the available space.”
Details about the technologies on display include:
- The PowerStore pallet shuttle system for high-density warehouses is designed to maximise space utilisation and throughput. The modularity of the system enables storage of up to 60% more pallets compared to manual systems. It can also be individually tailored for all shapes and sizes of warehouse buildings.
- The AutoStore grid-based ASRS is a solution that uses robots and bins to quickly process orders. It provides good use of available space thanks to its direct stacking of bins on top of each other and storage of multiple SKUs in a single bin. Over time, the system is designed to ‘learn’ which products have a higher rotation, storing them on the top layer to ensure faster picking times.
- SynQ software can perform the role of a warehouse management system (WMS), warehouse execution system (WES) and warehouse control system (WCS). It provides total visualisation of the system in real time and allows for efficient and accurate troubleshooting, as well as optimising performance over time. It can, for example, position faster-moving products nearer the front of the storage system, for quicker access. Live demonstrations of SynQ software will be performed during CeMAT.
- Swisslog’s proprietary SynQ software provides total real-time visualisation of warehouse automation operations and allows for efficient troubleshooting.
“We encourage logistics industry professionals at CeMAT to visit Swisslog at Stand A9 for live demonstrations that show how intelligent, end-to-end automation solutions can unlock greater warehouse efficiency, productivity and sustainability,” Ulmamei said
