Lyreco, a global company providing workplace products and services, has announced the completion of a modernisation programme at its logistics centre in Villaines-la-Juhel (Mayenne, northwestern France).
The Villaines-la-Juhel site is one of the group’s most strategic logistics hubs and is responsible for 60 percent of the 50,000 parcels shipped daily by Lyreco in France.
As part of the modernisation of the site, which began in 2021, Lyreco has built a new 3,000 m² facility and integrated an advanced robotic solution developed by Exotec, a French pioneer in warehouse automation.
The system optimises large-scale pallet preparation and order dispatch, enabling Lyreco to improve operational performance.
Designed to improve productivity, service quality and ergonomics simultaneously, the solution includes:
- An automated system for sequencing outbound flows
- Advanced algorithms for sorting and pallet building
- More than 100 Skypod robots managing the buffering and organisation of parcels prior to dispatch
- Ergonomic palletisation stations for operator friendly pallet preparation
Lyreco’s modernisation programme reinforces its commitment to operational excellence while providing teams with a safer and more efficient working environment.
