JYSK has automated its giant domestic warehouse
The Danish retail chain built its largest European warehouse in Eser, where they move goods to homes with outstanding efficiency.
The fully automated warehouses of JYSK Hungary’s Ecseri distribution center can handle more than 200,000 pallets per week, which are transported by hundreds of trucks. The EUR 200 million facility, commissioned in November 2022, is the largest single-space distribution center in the country and in Eastern Europe, and serves not only domestic customers, but also stores in Croatia, Slovakia and Slovenia. The investment also resulted in significant job creation: 300 people currently work here, and most of the employees prepare the products for the stores. The most spectacular element of the logistics base, which is the size of 20 soccer fields and 143,000 square meters to be exact, is the two warehouse towers, each 42 meters high, 160 meters long and 100 meters wide.
In the Ecser center, automation begins as soon as the goods arrive: the empty pallets are sorted into three categories by robots with advanced machine vision. Full pallets are moved by automated systems, depending on which of 700 different product types they contain and where to place them based on labels provided by human labor. With 24 automatic loading cranes performing complex tasks, the system thus receives 400 pallets per hour and dispenses the same number, thus ensuring critical, continuous, reliable operation. The goods are loaded and unloaded through 192 gates, i.e. even this amount of trucks can be handled at the same time.
