This is a quantum leap for the company:
faster order picking, optimised processes and significantly improved working conditions. The project was implemented by the intralogistics experts at Klinkhammer Intralogistics. Früchte Jork supplies over 13,000 items
to around 600 restaurants and hotels within 180km. Its steady growth brought the previous manual deep-freeze warehouse, in which order picking was carried out with forklifts at -22˚C, to its limits. Together with Klinkhammer, Früchte Jork developed a concept that takes storage capacity, picking performance, and energy efficiency to the next level. “In recent years, we have evolved from a
traditional fruit and vegetable wholesaler to a fresh produce service provider. The automated logistics center is another milestone in our growth strategy,” says Maximilian Jork, managing director of Früchte Jork.
The new, automated deep-freeze warehouse has 26,280 tray storage positions. The goods are stored efficiently and leave the warehouse as automatically as they came in. Goods-to-person
picking delivers the trays directly to the workstation at an ergonomic height. An integrated sequence buffer ensures that
orders are processed in exactly the right order. Flexible tray systems allow various sizes of cartons to be stored. State-of-the-art stacker cranes with camera technology ensure precise control and reduce energy consumption by recovering power during braking. The result: greater precision, shorter distances and reduced electricity consumption.
The Leuze FBPS 607i bar code positioning system increases efficiency and reduces costs in automated warehouse operations. Klinkhammer has been using the FBPS 607i from Leuze for positioning its stacker cranes since 2022. The first safe bar code positioning system with redundant SSI interface and integrated heating enables use even at temperatures as low as -30˚C. Connected directly to the drive’s frequency
converter, the system reacts in just 10ms. At the same time, the FBPS meets the stricter requirements of the new machinery directive: Where two separate devices were once needed to achieve the required performance level, today a single FBPS does the job. This saves time during installation and integration, and
also makes the solution economically attractive.
The new deep-freeze warehouse is just the beginning. In the second expansion phase, automatic shuttle warehouses for chilled and dry goods were put into operation, which automatically combine orders. This makes the entire logistics process even more efficient. With this investment, Früchte Jork is not
only boosting its competitiveness but also making a clear statement: Modern automation can increase productivity and save energy – all while ensuring better working conditions.
