Continuing its long-term partnership with Cimcorp, a pioneer in intralogistics solutions, Olvi has ordered another automated high-bay warehouse.
Automation from Cimcorp at Olvi’s brewery in Iisalmi, Finland
Ulvila, Finland – 06.08.2024 – Olvi plc, one of the leading beverage producers in Finland and the Baltic region, is cementing its strong partnership with Cimcorp in a project for a new high-bay warehouse at its headquarters in Iisalmi, Finland. By providing more storage capacity, this new automated warehouse meets Olvi’s strategic needs and growing production volumes, as well as helping to level out the seasonal demand of the brewing industry.
“Our existing high-bay warehouse was implemented with Cimcorp in 2014,” says Ilkka Heikkilä, Logistics Supervisor at Olvi. “This second warehouse enables us to increase storage capacity and secure the reliability of deliveries for our customers, especially during seasonal peaks. We need to be agile and respond to the fast order-delivery rhythm whenever the sun starts shining.”
As well as enabling growth and operational development, the new high-bay project gives Olvi credibility in its negotiations with customers by demonstrating that its systems are continuously developed.
Innovation and trust: the heart of the partnership
“Our long-term partnership with Cimcorp, which began in 2005, has been smooth and successful,” continues Ilkka Heikkilä. “We appreciate Cimcorp’s reliability and technical solutions that are tailored to our needs. Having a local partner who understands our ways of working and production needs – without compromising the daily output – is invaluable.”
Back in 2005, Cimcorp installed an automated order-picking system featuring gantry robots for Olvi. Collaboration between the companies continued over the years, resulting in the installation of the original high-bay warehouse with Warehouse Control System (WCS), an innovative keg-picking solution and a robotic dolly-picking system. To support this automation, Olvi utilizes Cimcorp's 24/7 helpdesk service, benefiting from support in Finnish and in the same time zone, which is a significant advantage from the operators' perspective. Cimcorp’s helpdesk team are knowledgeable and familiar with Olvi’s systems and processes, allowing them to provide exceptional service and proactive maintenance to ensure reliability throughout the entire lifecycle of the system.
"Our fruitful collaboration with Olvi spans nearly 20 years,” explains Riku Puska, Sales Manager (Warehouse & Distribution) for Cimcorp Group. “Designing future development and innovating together have been the cornerstones of this partnership. Being available for our customers 24/7 and responding quickly to any requests are very important to us. In fact, delivering peace of mind is part of our DNA."
The benefits of automation for modern breweries
Demand for beverages swings dramatically between seasons, with the potential to cause bottlenecks in production and distribution on peak days. The automation at Olvi mitigates these risks in a number of ways. “Implementing an automated high-bay warehouse in a brewery offers a wide variety of benefits from space optimization and cost savings to improved efficiency, accuracy and safety,” says Riku Puska. “By leveraging advanced automation technologies, breweries can enhance their operational capabilities, better manage inventory and ultimately provide superior service to their customers.”
