AI and machine learning open up opportunities to analyze data and automate processes through powerful algorithms. This creates a completely new platform for how a company manages flows of goods.

Catena is a discussion partner and facilitator for collaboration between different competencies in logistics to achieve the best solution for the customer. Automation solutions are common in our facilities. When robotic picking or automated transportation within the property becomes more common as added services, Catena can assist through close collaboration and established relationships.

What happens in an automated warehouse?

In automated warehouses, goods are picked using robotic solutions. Warehouse staff function more as maintenance staff and to ensure the processes of the business. Safety risks are reduced when automation handles dangerous and repetitive tasks.

In addition, a fully or partially automated warehouse provides higher space utilization and enables efficient handling with a fast throughput of orders in the system.

High ambitions with automation

As the need for new logistics locations increases, more innovative solutions are needed. One option for a more efficient use of land is to build higher facilities. High-bay warehouses are an excellent solution for automated flows.

Future-proofed warehouses

Our ambition is to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040, which, among other things, places requirements on the construction process when a new warehouse is built. New buildings are always environmentally certified in accordance with BREEAM-SE and the NollCO2 certification. Our internal requirement is that at least the Very Good level is always achieved. We strive for 100% of Catena’s lettable area to be environmentally certified and for the entire property portfolio to be net positive in terms of biodiversity.
