The site relies on 58 Exotec robots. They move through high-density racking more than 12 metres high and pick each product in under 2 minutes, according to Automazione Plus.

The robots will handle picking. Employees will keep checking and packing orders, as well as customer relations.

Operators are receiving about 60 hours of training to support the change.

After a period of parallel running, the new centre is due to replace the one in Vimodrone, also in the Milan area. RS Group is making it the pilot project for its new logistics set-up in Europe.

The building was constructed by the property investor Prologis, which remains its owner. Exotec supplies the robotics and automation solutions.
