Cimcorp to Showcase Automated Order Fulfillment Solutions at LogiMAT 2022

GRIMSBY, Ontario – April 27, 2022 – Cimcorp, a manufacturer and integrator of turnkey robotic order fulfillment and tire-handling solutions, announces it will be exhibiting at LogiMAT 2022, held from May 31 to June 2 in Stuttgart, Germany. At booths #1B81 in Hall 1 and #1OG90 in Hall 1 Gallery, Cimcorp will demonstrate how its advanced robotic technologies and intelligent software streamline operations, reduce labor costs and eliminate errors for today’s warehouses and distribution centers. The company also will share how its automated solutions are already helping major players in the food retail industry solve their toughest intralogistics challenges.

Cimcorp’s holistic solutions are designed to meet the demands of modern distribution, including shorter lead times, SKU proliferation, and challenging seasonal peaks amid labor shortages. As a leading intralogistics systems provider and integrator, Cimcorp has developed unique order fulfillment and storage solutions across a range of industries—such as food and beverage, tire, retail, e-commerce, fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) and postal services.


Speed is particularly crucial in fresh food and grocery distribution. Cimcorp’s solutions speed up warehouse operations, which maximizes freshness for perishable food items. Its automated systems fulfill orders in stages, so new products can arrive and be picked immediately for guaranteed freshness.

"Freshness is synonymous with quality in grocery retail," explains Kai Tuomisaari, VP of Sales at Cimcorp. "With limited sales windows for fresh food, faster order processing means that freshness is maximized at the retail store, giving a longer shelf life for perishable products."

Notably, Cimcorp has successfully deployed automation in facilities for fruit and vegetable distribution across Europe. German food retailer Netto Marken-Discount—which boasts the largest range of groceries in the discount segment—is automating fresh produce logistics with Cimcorp. Netto will be the very first German retailer to use Cimcorp’s system.

Christina Stylianou, Head of Corporate Communications at Netto Marken-Discount, said, “Getting fresh fruit and vegetables from producers to the branches is an absolute race against the clock. In many cases, only a few hours pass between receipt at our logistics centres and delivery to our stores. In Cimcorp, we have found a service provider to supply us with a solution for fully automated order picking of ergonomically packed fruit and vegetable pallets, a solution that meets the requirements of our branches – fast, reliably and cost-effectively.”

If successfully commissioned, the retail organization plans to implement additional automated logistics systems at its other storage locations.

IFR: five trends will drive robot growth through 2025

As the global market value of industrial robot installations passes its all-time high of $16.5 billion, five trends will continue to drive its growth through 2025, according to a forecast from the International Federation of Robotics (IFR).

That is important because the increased use of robots has the potential to significantly reduce the impact of labor shortages in manufacturing, IFR said. That will happen when robots automate dirty, dull, dangerous or delicate tasks – such as visual quality inspection, hazardous painting, or heavy lifting—thus freeing up human workers to focus on more interesting and higher-value tasks.

Disruption events to global supply chains rose 38% over 2023

Overall disruptions to global supply chains in 2024 increased 38% from the previous year, thanks largely to the top five drivers of supply chain disruptions for the year: factory fires, labor disruption, business sale, leadership transition, and mergers & acquisitions, according to a study from Resilinc.

Factory fires maintained their position as the number one disruption for the sixth consecutive year, with 2,299 disruption alerts issued. Fortunately, this number is down 20% from the previous year and has declined 36% from the record high in 2022, according to California-based Resilinc, a provider of supply chain resiliency solutions.
