Integrating Movu Robotics
Reesink Logistic Solutions (RLS) integrates innovative automation solutions from Movu Robotics into customized warehouse systems. By combining advanced technologies with years of experience in logistics automation, RLS helps businesses optimize their warehouse operations.
Core Solutions from Movu Robotics We Integrate:
- Movu atlas – A multidirectional pallet shuttle system that efficiently moves pallets and is suitable for both refrigerated and conventional warehouses.
- iFollow AMR – Autonomous mobile robots that operate flexibly in both standard and chilled environments, with advanced safety features.
With these technologies, companies can benefit from a plug-and-play approach without the need for complex custom development. Optimal space utilization and high reliability, thanks to redundancy in the systems, ensure smooth and efficient warehouse operations. Additionally, Reesink Logistic Solutions seamlessly integrates Movu Robotics technologies with existing WMS or ERP systems, including its proprietary WMS called LogiCS, providing businesses with a future-proof and scalable solution.
Case Study: Elsrijk
Reesink Logistic Solutions is currently working on an impressive real-world example: the development of a new automated cold storage warehouse for Elsrijk in Dordrecht. While the warehouse is not yet fully operational, integration is well underway. This project showcases our leadership in warehouse automation and innovative solutions for the Food & Beverage sector.
After careful planning, the first equipment has now been installed. The system features a fully automated pallet warehouse using Movu atlas technology, combined with iFollow AMRs, which efficiently transport pallets to ergonomic order-picking stations. Centralized control is managed through our Warehouse Control System, LogiCS, ensuring seamless and efficient operations—even in challenging environments down to -20°C.
Optimizing Logistics Efficiency in a High-Tech Warehouse
This state-of-the-art warehouse, with space for 32,000 pallet locations spread over seven floors, is designed for maximum efficiency. B&S, a leading supplier to maritime, aviation, military, and retail clients, will be one of the primary users of this innovative facility.
A Cutting-Edge Automated Cold Storage System
The system not only includes an automated pallet warehouse but also a fully automated goods-to-person order-picking process. By integrating Movu iFollow AMRs, pallets are quickly and efficiently transported to order-picking stations, reducing manual work while increasing speed and accuracy. The solution is up to five times more energy-efficient than traditional automation systems and can be easily scaled to meet future demand.
Setting a New Standard in Automated Storage
This advanced deep-freeze warehouse for Elsrijk marks a major milestone for Reesink Logistic Solutions, underscoring our commitment to delivering innovative and scalable logistics solutions. By leveraging the latest technologies, we minimize manual intervention, enhance storage capacity, and improve operational efficiency. This project demonstrates that automation is not just a smart choice—it is a necessary step for businesses looking to grow and remain competitive.
The Future of Food & Beverage Logistics
Warehouse automation in the Food & Beverage sector is essential to ensuring efficiency, flexibility, and sustainability. With innovative technologies such as Movu atlas and iFollow AMRs, we provide businesses with scalable solutions that not only maximize storage density but also reduce operational costs and optimize workflow. The Elsrijk project showcases how advanced automation is transforming logistics, helping businesses prepare for the future.
