Coverguard values the know-how of tomorrow's professionals by integrating excellence into its core values. As a leader in PPE, the company designs, manufactures and distributes innovative solutions to protect workers across more than 100 countries. The opening of a new logistics platform in 2023 is a testament to its commitment to always being ahead. Automated thanks to cutting-edge technologies such as the Reflex WMS and SCALLOG robotics, this platform has enabled a tripling of productivity and improved working conditions. Coverguard embodies innovation in the service of safety.
Faced with an increase in orders, which now represent 50% of its logistics activity, Coverguard has decided to overhaul its logistics in 2021. The new 13,000 m² warehouse, automated and sustainable, has become a tailor-made solution to meet these challenges. Equipped with photovoltaic panels, this innovative site, using the Reflex and SCALLOG WMS, optimizes productivity while reducing environmental impact. The ambition is to offer an ultra-fast service to customers, while strengthening the pillars of the company's 2030 CSR strategy
To meet ever-increasing picking rates, Coverguard has chosen to automate its warehouse with SCALLOG robotics. The deployment of 600 m² of automated area, including 231 shelves and 5 robots, helped speed up workflows without disrupting the teams. The process was smooth, ensuring gradual adoption by operators. Thanks to this automation, order picking is faster, errors are minimized and the versatility of operators is improved, creating a more ergonomic and less stressful working environment.
After one year of use, Coverguard says it is fully satisfied with the performance of the SCALLOG solution. This technology not only tripled the productivity of piece-based order picking, but it also helped smooth out seasonal peaks in activity. The company is already planning to strengthen its automation by adding robots and expanding the number of SKUs managed. At the same time, a similar project is being studied for the Eastern European warehouse. Coverguard continues to innovate to ensure its competitiveness and support its sustainable growth.
