When every minute counts
In express parcel, everything revolves around speed. Orders need to be picked, packed, labelled, sorted and staged for transport in a very short time.
The promise to the end customer is often simple: ordered today, delivered tomorrow. Behind it lies a logistics operation in which every process step has to connect directly to the next.
Where the pressure lies
One delay hits
the entire chain
The shorter the lead time, the more critical the alignment between process steps. Automation shouldn’t just speed up individual tasks; it should keep the entire process flowing.
Order picking
Orders need to be compiled quickly and without errors. If picking falls behind, the rest of the process has to wait.
Packing
Every order is different. The packing process must absorb that variation without disrupting the flow.
Labelling
No correct label, no correct destination. Labelling has to keep pace with the line.
Sorting
This is where everything comes together. Parcels must reach the right destination on time, ready for transport.
What does VTS do?
VTS looks at the complete process within your operation. We bring the different steps together in a single intralogistics system in which hardware, software and controls work together seamlessly.
From handling and moving goods to sorting, robotics and system control, the solution is built around the flow of goods you need. We combine standard technology with in-house engineering wherever customisation is required.
Our approach
From process analysis
to commissioning
One partner for the entire project, so hardware, software and controls are aligned from day one.
Process analysis
We map your flow of goods and identify where process steps are currently waiting on each other.
Design
We configure the system from standard technology, complemented by in-house engineering where customisation is needed.
Software and controls
PLC software based on the VTS Intralogistics Standard, a WCS that coordinates the installation, and integrations with your WMS or ERP.
Commissioning
We test the system and put it into operation. Because we configure more and reprogram less, it’s faster.
Hardware and software, one integrated system
