Inspiration session Logistics & E-commerce | Belgium
Groenewout takes its ‘Logistics & E-commerce’ inspiration session to Belgium for the first time on June 7, 2023.
An afternoon of knowledge and networking on focused on the latest logistics-related technological developments. New technologies are having a wide-ranging impact in logistics, both in order picking and packing, enabling you to boost your productivity, increase your flexibility and – where possible – speed up your processes.
Are you keen to gain insight into the latest order-picking and packing technologies?
Groenewout’s Dirk Becks will be looking at automated order-picking concepts. Which automation-based logistics concepts are currently available? The primary focus will be on new arrivals on the market and concepts that are still in development. To directly link the theory to the practice, the session will include two customer cases: Gert Hellemans from Active Ants Belgium will explain how human employees and automation work in perfect harmony in the innovative combination of AutoStore, AMR technology and the pick-in-the-box principle, and Dorine Zeeman from bol.com will provide an overview of the company’s automated packing processes and the underlying choices.
The session starts at 14:30h on Wednesday 7 June and ends at 18:00h with networking drinks including street & bar food. We are looking forward to seeing you on 7 June at the fantastic Kasteel Sint-Michiels venue in Sint-Katelijne-Waver, Belgium.

In the near future, store orders and online orders will all be handled in the same process, from goods received right through to order picking. “We’ve looked at the similarities between the two logistics flows rather than their differences.”
