Software as the Key to Efficient Palletizing in Grocery Retail

Requirements in grocery retail are rising: growing product variety, faster delivery times, and maximum availability are expected. To master this complexity, smart automation is essential – with software as the central element.

WERX: The Intelligent Backbone of Modern Grocery Logistics

TGW Logistics relies on its proprietary platform WERX, a modular software solution that controls, visualizes, and optimizes all material flows. A key focus lies on intelligent palletizing: AI-powered algorithms ensure maximum packing density, optimal load stability, and high efficiency. This significantly reduces manual intervention – and boosts overall performance.
 

High-End Automation, End to End

TGW Logistic’s full case portfolio covers all temperature zones – from ambient to chilled and deep-freeze (-30 °C). 

High-performance components such as …

  • High-speed palletizers (>700 units/hour),
  • Depalletizing systems with AI-powered object recognition,
  • Shuttle warehouses with multi-SKU trays,
  • Sequencing directly from storage or via external systems

… enable seamless, automated processes that are efficient, scalable, and reliable.

Split Case & Full Case: Two Worlds in One System

As e-commerce continues to grow, so do the demands on split case picking. We combine both full case and split case in integrated systems – including:

This allows fast and slow movers to be picked flexibly – whether for store delivery or direct-to-consumer fulfillment.
 

Brownfield? No Problem.

We are experts in modernizing existing systems: The modular architecture enables seamless integration into existing buildings and software environments – even during live operation. This ensures future-proof solutions without compromise.
 

Security by Design – In a KRITIS-Relevant World

In light of NIS2 and KRITIS regulations, we set the highest standards in IT and process security: Redundant system architectures, data encryption, access control, and emergency plans are all part of the package. Security is an integral part of every TGW solution.

Conclusion:

In grocery intralogistics, software is the gamechanger. With WERX, AI-supported palletizing, and flexible system solutions, TGW Logistics provides the answers to today’s challenges – and tomorrow’s. #Itspossible
