Kitch'n - Phase 1
OmniMod for workstations at Kitch'n in Bryne, deployed in time for peak season Black Week.
What needed to change
Operators were losing time multitasking at flow chokepoints rather than focusing on a single value-adding task. Order volumes swing hard through peak season, and adding stations meant adding floor space and people.
How we upgraded the flow
Orders release from storage onto the system, parcels buffer on the surface until a station frees up, and each parcel is routed to the right station at the right time. Finished work returns to the system and flows onward — reducing 72 stations to 8 on a smaller footprint.
- Footprint: 24 sqm, 3×8 OmniModule layout, excluding conveyors and workstations
- Workstations: 8
- Infeed lines: 1, parcels arrive from AutoStore ports
- Outfeed lines: 3, one per sorting destination
- 10–20% cost reduction per parcel
- −43% packing time per order
- +94% orders per operator-hour
- 20% footprint reduction, reducing stations from 72 to 8
- 2× throughput — 2 000 parcels per hour
- Upgraded AutoStore retrieval capacity
- Reduced sorting errors
The difference in day-to-day operations at our warehouse is that employees have gotten a renewed sense of purpose. They see us investing in new technology. There’s less physical strain, a better working environment, and reduced sick leave
