CodeOne was present at the 2nd Cold Logistics Seminar organized by APLOG – the Portuguese Logistics Association, which took place on March 14 at the Museu do Oriente in Lisbon.
The event brought together the main players in the cold logistics sector in Portugal, with the aim of debating and analyzing the challenges, trends and most relevant issues for the future of this area.
CodeOne took an active part in the seminar, presenting a case study together with one of its biggest clients, Sonae MC. The presentation, entitled “Voice-Picking in Cold Operations”, was given by Nuno Landeiras, Operational Manager at Sonae MC, and António Guedes, Business Consultant at CodeOne.
Case study: Sonae MC and its Negative Cold operation
Sonae MC, the leading food distribution company in Portugal, supplies more than 600 stores from 4 distribution centers. Its negative cold operation has grown substantially in recent years, positioning the company as a benchmark on the national scene.
CodeOne’s role in Voice Picking technology at Sonae MC
Sonae MC has been using Voice Picking technology implemented by CodeOne in its cold operations since 2004. In 2022, the company began a process of evolving the solution, focusing on three areas:
- Voice 2.0: Creation of new processes and dialogues to optimize communication between the system and operators.
- Data Analytics: Extracting and analyzing data to identify opportunities for improvement and make comparisons between operations, teams and operators.
- Rapid Start: Development of an interactive training tool to facilitate the integration of new employees.
CodeOne’s implementation of the Voice Picking solution at Sonae MC has resulted in several benefits, such as:
- Increased productivity: Reduction in picking time and increase in the number of lines processed per hour.
- Improved ergonomics: Reduced physical effort for operators and reduced risk of accidents.
- Increased accuracy: Reduction in the number of picking errors.
- Improved operational efficiency
The implementation of the Voice Picking solution in cold operations at Sonae MC demonstrates the potential of this technology to optimize the supply chain and increase the efficiency of operations. CodeOne is proud to be part of this success as Sonae MC’s partner in this area and was especially pleased to present the case study at APLOG’s Logistics Seminar.
