For a speedy distribution of fresh products

Datalogic has transformed the processes of handling and distribution of  fresh products of one of the main French hypermarket chains (that runs 16 logistics centres, serving the over 400 hypermarkets of the Group), implementing a powerful  image capture technology and thus guaranteeing the control of critical parameters of temperature and throughput time of perishable goods.

Improving accuracy and reliability, at the same time ensuring retailers the reduction of times and costs, Datalogic has installed the NVS9000™,  a latest generation industrial image capture system, in the Group’s distribution center in the southwest of France.
Fitted with five cameras that cover five feed stations, the system is capable of reading and recognizing each and every barcode present  on the articles  handled by the corresponding systems, at a speed of 1 metre/sec, whatever the size and type.
Objective achieved: speed up and maximize the efficiency of the distribution of fresh products, such as for example cheese and butter, that demand rapid handling at a max temperature of 3-4 degrees. Thanks to  the NVS900, the goods are loaded onto trucks merely an hour after delivery from the external supplier, ready to be transported to the salespoint.
