A High Output, Low Risk Solution Designed by Case Pick Automation Experts
Automation is rapidly transforming case picking operations in grocery distribution and cold
storage facilities. While some companies pursue full-scale, lights out automation, that approach
isn’t always the most strategic or cost-effective.
In this webinar, we introduce a smarter approach: deploying automation where it delivers the
greatest financial and operational impact. Rather than maximizing automation, we focus on
maximizing value.
Designed for logistics, operations and supply chain professionals, this session explores how
Primus strategically integrates advanced automation with intelligent facility design to
streamline the case picking process in both temperature-controlled and ambient environments.
Join Primus Solutions Group President Tom Coyne, Executive Vice President Randy Jennings and
material handling expert Brad Moore as they share real-world applications, performance metrics
and actionable strategies to help you improve throughput, reduce labor cost and make informed
decisions - whether you're building a new facility or optimizing an existing one.
Attendees will gain insights on:
- The different fulfillment options for grocery
facilities (conventional, lights out, etc.)
- The Primus Smart Pick Path model and why it is the
best option
- Automation elements/equipment of the Primus Smart Pick
Path model
- Real world examples of the Primus Smart Pick Path in
action
- Data-based evidence of the cost and payback period
advantages of the Primus Smart Pick Path
And more!
