Warehouse & distribution / 3PL

Large flows of goods to the right destination

Warehouses and distribution centres process large volumes of orders. In e-commerce and 3PL, this is often done through batch picking: products are collected in larger quantities and then have to be sorted back to the right order or destination.

Lead times differ from Express Parcel, but the flow of goods has to be just as accurate.

Where the pressure lies

Sorting starts
after picking

The larger the operation, the more movements and process steps need to be aligned.

Batch picking Products are collected in larger quantities and then have to go back to the right order or destination.
Order consolidation After picking, every order has to be assembled correctly again. That is where the challenge lies.
Controlled throughput The various logistics steps need to be connected so that goods move through the warehouse in a controlled and efficient way.

What does VTS do?

VTS designs and integrates complete intralogistics systems for warehouse and distribution environments. Hardware, software, controls and automation are developed as one integrated whole.

This allows VTS to connect different parts of the flow of goods: from internal transport and sorting to storage, handling and robotics. With our in-house engineering, we can tailor the system to the specific layout and processes of your warehouse.

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 flows of goods and process steps and identify where orders are currently being delayed.
Design We configure the system from standard technology, complemented by in-house engineering where your layout or process requires it.
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.

About warehouse & distribution / 3PL

Frequently asked questions

Yes. We design systems that are flexible enough to handle different client flows, product ranges and volumes, so your operation doesn't grind to a halt as soon as demand changes.

We always look at your existing software landscape. With our own VTS Intralogistics Standard, we combine mechanics and controls into one working whole that connects to the systems you already use.

Absolutely. Many of our projects are retrofit projects, in which we modernise or extend existing installations while operations simply continue.

Because we carry out the design, installation and maintenance ourselves, we know your system inside out. This allows us to respond quickly to malfunctions and monitor availability on an ongoing basis.
