Once these goods are packaged, they enter one of the most critical points in the end-to-end process: the warehouse. The La Crosse baking facility includes an 87,000-square-foot warehouse that covers more than one-third of the building’s footprint. A system that automates product storage and retrieval within the warehouse (Cimcorp) was chosen to automate order picking, in part because of the vendor’s experience and expertise in automating order fulfillment within the bakery industry with a system that automates order picking of products in plastic crates or trays. Working…
