SWEDEN | Innovative and fast-growing 3PL Nowaste Logistics, a subsidiary of Everfresh, has chosen Swisslog as a partner for their new automated logistics centre in Helsingborg, Sweden.
In collaboration with the city of Helsingborg, Nowaste and Catena have been developing an almost 80,000 m2 logistics centre. The facility, built with very high sustainability ambitions, is expected to employ around 300 people upon completion.
"We have been entrusted with delivering an automated pallet warehouse to store and handle pallets in the new logistics centre,” said Jens Erik Jøranli, Sales Manager of Integrated Solutions at Swisslog.
"Large parts of our delivery are handled locally in Sweden and delivered by local staff, which strengthens our relationship and our good, innovative cooperation with Nowaste competent staff.”
The facility was based on some of Swisslog's most competitive and well-proven technical solutions, including ten Vectura stacker cranes, 56,000 pallet locations, conveyor systems and Swisslog's SynQ WMS, which will be integrated with Nowaste Logistics' proprietary control system.
Nowaste Logistics has high sustainability requirements, and the ten Vectura cranes supplied by Swisslog were designed with extremely high energy efficiency.
"By analysing and calculating our customers' needs ourselves, I think we are a good requirement setter to work with in connection with automation projects,” said Patrik Johnfors, Solution Design and Implementation Manager at Nowaste Logistics.
“Together with Swisslog, we have for the last two projects, Stigamo just south of Jönköping and Ramlösa in Helsingborg, found a methodology that works very well for us.”
Back in the early 2000s, Nowaste Logistics and Swisslog began a partnership that has resulted in several automated systems, including two AutoStore solutions, two automated pallet warehouses, with a third now underway, and a range of other solutions, such as robotic pallet picking.
The new pallet warehouse in Helsingborg will begin in January next year and will be completed in Q4 2025.
