QLS has first with first Bin ResQ Robot

QLS has proudly announced that they are the very first in Europe to use using the first Bin ResQ Robot in their operations. This robot is specifically designed to solve problems with the AutoStore, QLS' automated storage system, quickly and efficiently. The Bin ResQ Robot ensures that productivity is maintained even in the event of of failures.

QLS began the ambitious expansion of their advanced AutoStore system last week. This expansion will enable QLS to increase capacity from 70,000 to 110,000 bins, while at the same time more than 105 robots will be operational. With the AutoStore expansion, QLS not only meets the needs of their growing customer base, but also takes an important step in further optimising their fulfilment processes.

Quincy Boogers, co-owner of QLS, points to the continued growth of the company's customer base as the driving force behind this large-scale expansion. "New customer growth remains remarkably high," Boogers said. "We expect as much as 50 per cent growth with new customers this year and we need to be well prepared for that. It is almost incredible that customer acquisition continues to increase, forcing us to increase our capacity again within just nine months of our previous expansion."

Sometimes it happens that an item sticks out of a bin, making it impossible to pick the bin. Fortunately, QLS now has the Bin ResQ Robot, which, thanks to a special gripper, ensures that problem bins can still be picked. By deploying the Bin ResQ Robot, QLS maximises system availability and minimises downtime. This leads to greater customer satisfaction and improved service levels.

The Bin ResQ Robot is able to navigate to the site to fix the problem. This not only saves valuable time, but also reduces the risk of human error. By pioneering the implementation of this Bin ResQ Robot, QLS once again proves their commitment to optimising their services and delivering the highest quality to their customers. This ground-breaking achievement is the result of their collaboration with Lalesse Logistic Solutions.
