Mettler Toledo
Mettler Toledo is a global manufacturer of precision instruments and weighing solutions. The facility in China serves as a key regional distribution hub, supporting both online and offline order fulfillment. As market demand continues to grow, the warehouse needed to manage increasingly complex order flows while maintaining the high levels of accuracy and reliability the brand is known for.
To support this transformation, Mettler Toledo partnered with Arvato, an expert in supply chain optimization and omnichannel fulfillment, and Hai Robotics to introduce automated warehouse solutions.
Mettler Toledo's Challenges
Despite growing demand and an expanding SKU portfolio, Mettler Toledo’s warehouse faced several operational constraints:
-
Picking Accuracy: Maintaining consistent accuracy while minimizing human error became increasingly important as order volumes grew.
-
Operational Efficiency: Workflows needed to be streamlined to improve productivity and reduce reliance on manual processes.
-
Space Utilization: Limited use of vertical space resulted in low storage density and inefficient warehouse layout.
Together, these constraints limited the warehouse’s ability to scale and support high-performance operations.
