“Quality, efficiency and sustainability were key starting points for the new plant. Logistics plays a crucial role in making our production processes predictable and reliable.”
Production, packaging and logistics under one roof
Euroma required an internal logistics solution that could support increasing production volumes, streamline material flows and ensure reliable supply of raw materials and packaging to production. Key objectives included higher throughput, reduced manual handling and a scalable setup for future growth.
Integrated Intralogistic Solution
Syncore (formerly Reesink Logistic Solutions) designed and delivered a complete internal logistics solution fully integrated with Euroma’s production processes.
High-Bay Automated Warehouse
- 27 m high rack structure that also functions as the building support
- Six automatic pallet cranes for fast pallet retrieval
- Two mini-load cranes for small parts and component handling
- Storage capacity for approximately 18,000 pallets and 8,000 mini-load locations
These automated systems enable efficient flows between goods receipt, production feeding, mixed storage and outbound scheduling. The rack structure is also integrated into the building’s superstructure, optimizing space utilisation.
Internal Transport & Integration
- Conveyor systems spanning 500 m to connect warehouse zones and production line
- Roller conveyors and lifts for seamless transfer of goods
- A centralized Warehouse Management System (WMS) to coordinate material flows and synchronize with production schedules
This integrated approach ensures raw materials, packaging and finished goods always arrive at the right stage of the process, exactly when needed.
Key Benefits & Value Delivered
The integrated AS/RS and internal transport solution forms the logistical backbone of Euroma’s new production facility in Zwolle and plays a crucial role in supporting daily operations. Automation significantly accelerates material handling across inbound logistics, production supply and outbound flows, while the combination of pallet cranes and mini-load cranes enables multiple product streams to be processed in parallel. This ensures that raw materials, packaging and finished goods are always available at the right place and at the right time, directly supporting production continuity and reliability. As one project stakeholder noted, “The automated warehouse allows us to synchronise logistics and production far more effectively than before, creating a stable and predictable flow of materials.”
Scalability was a key design principle from the outset. The high-bay warehouse and automated material handling systems were engineered to accommodate future capacity growth without requiring fundamental changes to the system architecture. This future-proof approach provides Euroma with the flexibility to respond to market growth and changing product portfolios.
