Nordic-based logistics company Nowaste Logistics has installed new automation software into its warehouses.
Nowaste Logistics focuses operations on FMCG, technical solutions, and e-commerce logistics, conducting business in Helsingborg, Jönköping, and Stockholm, managing flows across multiple temperature zones, from chilled and frozen to ambient.
Launched autumn 2025, the solution was supplied by Swisslog, installing AutoCase from AutoStore into a warehouse handling large volumes of apparel arriving from Asia in cartons.
On arrival, these cartons need to be buffer stored before being decanted and picked within the facility’s AutoStore system.
Nowaste Logistics can instead efficiently store cartons directly within the AutoStore system using AutoCase upon receipt.
The cartons can later be retrieved either as full cases for shipment to the customer or routed to a picking station for individual order fulfillment.
Nowaste Logistics head of solution design & implementation Patrik Johnfors said: “AutoCase is a solution that is as simple as it is ingenious.
“It eliminates time-consuming manual work and increases efficiency, speed, and storage density in one of our highly automated warehouses.”
The solution was installed at the Nowaste Logistics warehouse during the summer and will now be tested with various carton types and sizes before going into full operation.
“Inbound deliveries of a new collection for the upcoming season take place many weeks before outbound deliveries begin,” Johnfors continued.
“The inventory also needs to last throughout the entire season, which can be up to six months.
“Today, we manage this by buffer-storing the cartons on pallets in pallet racking and replenishing or decanting them into the system as goods are shipped. This requires extensive manual buffer handling.”
IntraLogisteX 2026 takes place on 17-18 March 2027 at the NEC Birmingham. For exhibitor information and visitor registration, visit the official event website at www.intralogistex.co.uk
