Tesco kits out dotcom store

Tesco has installed an automated materials picking and handling system from Dematic for its 120,000 sq ft grocery fulfilment centre in Enfield.

The Dotcom store features zone routing picking for ambient and chilled goods. Zone picking auto-launches order totes to numerous pick zones as required within the ambient area and separate totes across zones in the chilled area.

Tesco staff pick grocery, produce and bakery goods into the order totes according to instructions received via wrist mounted Radio Data Terminals.

Complete totes are routed to the Multishuttle consolidation buffers.
