Challenge

For Kiko’s logistics center in the Milan area, Ceva Logistics tasked LCS with designing a comprehensive intralogistics solution capable of automating and streamlining the entire order fulfillment process to manage up to 400 orders simultaneously, covering: automatic case forming; packing and closing; labeling and final palletizing. All operations had to be integrated into a continuous, accurate flow, with the ability to consolidate up to 10,000 units per hour, while handling a highly diverse mix of cosmetic items—from very small to mid-sized packages—under increasingly tight delivery timeframes.

Solution

To meet this complex need, LCS developed a complete solution centered on a loop cross-belt automatic sorting system, fully integrated with LCS’s proprietary control software.

The implemented platform enabled:

  • full automation of the order consolidation process
  • optimized handling of high-volume throughput
  • reduced operational errors and overall improved efficiency

Thanks to the combination of cutting-edge hardware and intelligent software, Ceva now benefits from a highly reliable and high-performance system.

Key technical data

  • 150-meter loop cross-belt sorter
  • 200 sort destinations mapped to 400 final destinations
  • 2 five-sided scanner systems capable of reading 1D/2D barcodes and detecting parcel volume
  • Two systems for the overhead transport of empty boxes
  • A conveyor system for item transport, featuring three palletizing stations for shipping
  • 2 induction zones:
    • 1 automatic area with 3 induction lines
    • 1 manual area supporting 6 operators
