Automatic book packaging in Euromedia’s new warehouse in Stochov
The Euromedia Group, which publishes and distributes books, has a new distribution centre in Stochov since spring. It includes an automatic Cartonwrap packaging machine from CMC Packaging (supplied by Xertec). The line automatically takes a cardboard cut and produces a box in the appropriate size. The practical speed of the machine is 650–750 boxes per hour. The advantage of the production from the packaging line is the elaborate deformation zones in the corners and on the edges of the boxes, which effectively protects the books from damage. The warehouse has other attractions that are more logistical in nature. In the middle of the hall, the heart of the cubic shape “beats”, namely the Autostore robotic system with 65,000 plastic crates, expandable to 110,000 crates. Handling is handled by 90 robots. Some of the stock is held in mobile racks, which are operated by VNA trolleys. Another interesting feature is the pick-to-light picking or inspection system with automatic weighing of shipments. The hall also includes six vertical storage towers.
The tour will be led by Kamil Kidoň, logistics director at Euromedia Group.
