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.

EDGE 2024 diversity educational session

Diversifying your supply chain beyond China to minimize risk

Jason Kra kicked off his presentation at the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP) EDGE Conference on Tuesday morning with a question: “How do we use data in assessing what countries we should be investing in for future supply chain decisions?” As president of Li & Fung where he oversees the supply chain solutions company’s wholesale and distribution business in the U.S., Kra understands that many companies are looking for ways to assess risk in their supply chains and diversify their operations beyond China. To properly assess risk, however, you need quality data and a decision model, he said.

In January 2024, in addition to his full-time job, Kra joined American University’s Kogod School of Business as an adjunct professor of the school’s master’s program where he decided to find some answers to his above question about data.

warehouse problem medical triage strategy

Medical triage inspires warehouse process fixes

Turning around a failing warehouse operation demands a similar methodology to how emergency room doctors triage troubled patients at the hospital, a speaker said today in a session at the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP)’s EDGE Conference in Nashville.

There are many reasons that a warehouse might start to miss its targets, such as a sudden volume increase or a new IT system implementation gone wrong, said Adri McCaskill, general manager for iPlan’s Warehouse Management business unit. But whatever the cause, the basic rescue strategy is the same: “Just like medicine, you do triage,” she said. “The most life-threatening problem we try to solve first. And only then, once we’ve stopped the bleeding, we can move on.”
