"Frozen greatly boosts our operational efficiency and creates a
safer work environment for our employees," says Oskar Kirkeleit,
CEO of Haugaland Storhusholdning.
"This installation is designed for maximum efficiency in food
distribution. We are proud to be the first to implement an
AutoStore solution with a frozen zone, which is now a part of the
customer's daily operations. Collaborating with MTG Technologies,
the customer and other partners to develop the software, system,
and routines has been a rewarding experience. Today, we celebrate
the launch of a fully operational site that meets our high
standards," says Jacob Tveraabak, CEO of StrongPoint.
“We are excited to see the Multi-Temperature Solution go live.
The solution will revolutionize grocery operations by enabling
safer and more efficient picking of frozen inventory. With two
Multi-Temperature Solutions already in progress, we are very much
looking forward to the general release in Q1, 2025,” said Parth
Joshi, Chief Product Officer at AutoStore.
“We are proud to partner with AutoStore in supporting
StrongPoint to deliver this pioneering Multi-Temperature Solution
with a frozen zone for Haugaland Storhusholdning. This inaugural
installation marks a significant step forward, and we are excited
to support the teams behind the solution. We look forward to
shaping the future of automated warehouse solutions with
multi-temperature grid technology,” says Paul Edvin Bersaas, CEO of
MTG Technologies.
The Multi-Temperature Solution allows multiple temperature zones
within a single AutoStore cube. It is designed for frozen and
chilled environments with a temperature range of -25°C in the
frozen section to +6°C in the cooled areas. The picking of frozen
products occurs at the Ports in the chilled area to eliminate
picking of items within extreme frozen temperatures, thus creating
a better working environment for operators. This will allow
customers to have a solution that can increase speed and efficiency
with their frozen inventory.
