    The CPMS roadmap

    In this episode, I sit down with Tobias Reiter to explore how our CPMS software is evolving alongside our customers' needs. We unpack the annual Statement of Direction, revealing how feedback from our user community directly shapes our roadmap. From building a collaborative forum where even competitors share insights, to integrating AI-driven solutions like chatbots and intelligent agents, we’re committed to keeping CPMS at the forefront of the corrugated packaging industry. We also discuss our major technology upgrade journey and the real impact of AI on both white-collar and shop floor environments. Join us as we share candid stories, challenges, and the vision driving the next generation of packaging management.

We dive deep into how centralization and automation are rewriting the rules of supply chain agility, with fresh food logistics as our stage. From overcoming labor shortages to integrating technology that keeps freshness at the forefront, we explore what it means to play the 'first violin' in the logistics orchestra. You'll hear firsthand how Jumbo's innovative facility became a model of efficiency and adaptability, and why the end consumer still calls the tune.

    50 % less workforce and 50 % fewer truck trips

    Richard Kearns always knows how his supply chains, his new warehouse in Hernando, Mississippi, or his logistics processes are performing - because he receives immediate feedback every single day. As Executive Vice President of Distribution & Logistics at Associated Wholesale Grocers (AWG), he serves demanding customers: the store operators are independent retailers who expect to be impressed by logistics performance every day. This is made possible by a highly automated full-range logistics center, designed and implemented by WITRON, which supplies 3,400 stores with a portfolio of currently 54,600 different dry, fresh, and frozen items. The facility is designed for a daily picking capacity of more than 460,000 cases and ranks among the most innovative and high-performance logistics centers in the United States. The results achieved are impressive. Labor and transportation costs have been significantly reduced.

    Successful outcome of a company-wide supply chain transformation

    At its distribution centers in Brisbane and Sydney, Coles uses state-of-the-art WITRON technology to pick 1.6 billion sales units annually from a dry goods range comprising 19,000 different items. More than 90 percent of these items are picked either fully automatically or at semi-automated workstations. The WITRON solution has fundamentally transformed not only the processes in the distribution centers but also enhanced efficiency and product availability in the stores. Working conditions for Coles’ employees have also significantly improved. As a result, nearly 18 million kilograms of manual lifting and carrying have been completely eliminated each week across the entire supply chain. By halving the required footprint compared to a manual warehouse, the ecological impact has been substantially reduced - enabling the implementation of a business model that is both economically viable and environmentally sustainable. A third, even larger logistics center is already under construction in Melbourne.
