Wilhelm Hammesfahr is a logistics service provider for products in personal care. Vanderlande Industries installed an Order Distribution System (ODS) for Wilhelm Hammesfahr in Germany.


The following processes take place in the distribution centre in Monheim: 

  • Picking of product from pallets  
  • Transportation of the product to one of the 10 order distribution stations  
  • At the order distribution stations the tote is automatically scanned and the operator is informed how much to pick  
  • Displays at the order locations indicate how much of the product needs to be distributed to which order carton 
  • Each work station has 20 order locations to distribute the goods to  
  • Once the order is finished, it is transported to a pack station 
  • At the packing station a weight check takes place, the cartons are closed and labelled  
  • Cartons/totes that are not picked empty are stored in one of the two miniloads

The system installed has lead to an increase in productivity and quality of delivery.
