In 2023, ALCYON, a leading veterinary distributor, invested in a 19,000 m² automated logistics platform. The goal: to guarantee next-day (J+1) delivery to its 5,000 clients. With over 25,000 product references and 3,000 daily shipments, the company relies on intralogistics performance to manage flows efficiently and optimize order preparation times.
The Goods to Person SCALLOG solution automates the picking of medium and low-rotation products, utilizing the height of the warehouse.

Located beneath a mezzanine, the SCALLOG solution processes 50,000 order lines per week. It meets FEFO requirements and ensures medication traceability. Operators, guided by Pick to Light, prepare complex orders without errors, integrated into an automated logistics chain, from optimized storage to shipment without any disruption.
Designed for all ages, the SCALLOG intralogistics robotics solution enhances Quality of Life at Work. With an ergonomic environment, simplified tasks, and the removal of voice headsets, operators, trained in advance, highly praise the solution.
