<h3>DEFINITION:</h3>
<p>Cimcorp deployed an automated order-picking system and warehouse control system at REWE's new Oranienburg produce fulfillment center, designed for approximately 29,000 units per day.</p>
<h3>STRUCTURE:</h3>
<p>Robotic order-picking, warehouse control software, and FEFO/FIFO sequencing logic operate together to deliver real-time visibility and end-to-end traceability from receipt to shipment within fresh produce delivery windows.</p>
<h3>EFFECT:</h3>
<p>Establishes a reference deployment for produce-grade automated fulfillment, requiring reset of labor plans, wave logic, and exception handling protocols across downstream distribution operations.</p>

<h3>DEFINITION:</h3>
<p>DHL Supply Chain reported one billion picks assisted by Locus Robotics autonomous mobile robots, scaling to thousands of units across more than forty sites since 2017.</p>
<h3>STRUCTURE:</h3>
<p>Standardized KPI instrumentation, data pipelines, and LocusONE integration patterns sustain autonomous mobile robot fleet performance across sites, with reported 30%-180% higher units per hour and 80% lower operator training time.</p>
<h3>EFFECT:</h3>
<p>Confirms scalability of AMR-assisted picking under multi-site conditions and ties sustained operational outcomes to software and data readiness rather than robot count.</p>
