X-PTS solution from SAVOYE is on the rise in large warehouses

In the United States, a large industrial meat warehouse has recently been implemented. The world’s largest X-PTS automated storage facility, with 12 X-PTS aisles on 30 levels, buffers a steady stream of production boxes and powers palletizing robots, all in cool environments.

In France, one of the leaders in the distribution of DIY equipment chose to increase the logistics of its warehouse in the Paris region and double its storage area. Already equipped with a solution combining reception stations, picking stations and X-PTS goods-to-person system, the warehouse will integrate five new X-PTS aisles in 2023 and acquire a shipping buffer, to serve 12 order picking stations and ensure the new deliveries expected to new stores in France.

History repeats itself with a supplier of automotive accessories, near Orleans, which has chosen to get equipped with an automated storage system and centralize its European distribution. From the start the solution is initially designed to be scalable and while 4 X-PTS aisles were delivered in 2022, the distributor anticipated the possible installation of a 5th aisle as well as an additional GTP station.

The ability to adapt the X-PTS system to many configurations makes it possible to meet the application needs of very different customers: from logistics centers requiring compact and productive order picking, to manufacturers requiring palletizing buffers or integrated into production processes.

This is why X-PTS systems generally combine several SAVOYE technologies: station preparation systems, conveyors, packaging machines for forming, reducing height and closing cartons, palletizing buffers, etc. But they also connect easily with technologies from third-party partners for robotic palletizing, for example, miniloads or high-speed sorters.

For goods-to-person preparation solutions, one of the major advantages is the design of the X-PTS Pick Station, which combines very high productivity with excellent ergonomics for operators, thanks to its operation in “1 plug container to 1 drop-off container” mode.

To each project, SAVOYE brings its expertise as a provider of complete intralogistics solutions thanks to its technologies and software complementarity which provides a more compact, efficient, modular and easy-to-use installation.

Many recent projects have made it possible to take advantage of technological expertise including automated storage, packaging and picking equipment, but also WMS and WCS software. As an example, a construction equipment supplier has chosen to equip its warehouse with 3 X-PTS aisles controlled via the WCS SAVOYE and in interface with the new WMS ODATiO for delivery in 2023. The same goes for one of the customers in the luxury industry who chose the complete solution to ensure a single interface between equipment and software.

Indeed, for the logistician or the manufacturer, it is the guarantee of a turnkey solution, scalable and easy to integrate with a single and expert company… as SAVOYE is a designer, manufacturer, integrator and provides a complete after-sales service, bringing the human added value essential to the proper functioning of the technology.
