VersaTile and Wincanton

Wincanton, a leading supply chain partner for UK business, deployed VersaTile, a new modular automation solution, at its Northampton shared user facility to further enhance its high-volume e-Fulfilment offering for customers. VersaTile is an automated, modular system of moving tiles for quickly bringing goods to pickers within a warehouse.

Its implementation has delivered a fivefold increase in pick and presentation rates, facilitating order picking within minutes and delivering significant efficiency and productivity benefits for Wincanton customers. Wincanton’s state-of-the-art, shared user facility in Northampton was the first e-Fulfilment center to benefit from this pioneering technology.

Using its in-house Development Framework, Wincanton has designed and developed bespoke integration software that enables VersaTile to operate seamlessly with the company’s existing systems. VersaTile’s automation solution has boosted productivity and speed at Wincanton’s high-volume, shared user e-fulfilment facility.

The highly responsive technology utilizes a unique 3D configuration to rapidly increase pick and presentation rates, saving space and increasing efficiencies.
