Products & services
Dematic Multishuttle
The Dematic Multishuttle® stores, buffers and sequences products between bulk stock and other functions such as picking and order assembly. The system can dramatically increase speed, storage density, accuracy and throughput in warehouses, factories or distribution centres. Exceptionally High Throughput Rates: Dual Cycle, Drive Through and Tandem lift configurations — combined with high-speed shuttles and intelligent controls —provide rapid access to inventory with throughputs as high as 1,200 loads in-and-out per hour. High-Density Storage: The multi-depth, intelligent storage of varying size cartons creates outstanding space utilisation in ambient, chilled or freezer environments. Modular and Flexible: Dematic offers a variety of models including static, flex and belted shuttles for handling totes, cartons and replenishment of carton flow racks. The system adapts to building configurations, including existing buildings with lower ceiling heights. Additional shuttles can be easily added to provide more throughput. Efficient, Accurate, Reliable: Dematic Multishuttle systems operate in an efficient “lights-out” environment. They are designed for mission critical applications to ensure easy maintenance and maximum uptime.
AutoStore™ empowered by Dematic
AutoStore is an advanced automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS) designed for high-density, high-throughput warehouse operations. Its modular grid structure — combined with fast-moving robots — maximises space, accelerates inventory retrieval, and adapts to changing needs, even in cold storage environments. As a trusted automation partner, Dematic combines its global resources and expertise with AutoStore’s innovative technology to deliver supply chain solutions that empower and sustain customer operations.
Micro-Fulfilment Systems
Rapid Fulfillment with Automated Technology and Advanced Software Time, space, and labour costs never decline. In fact, they continually grow and expand, placing pressure on supply chains to figure out how to do more with less. To maximise your resources and assets you must make the decision to automate at a level that’s right for your business. Micro-fulfilment may be the answer. Advantages of micro-fulfilment: - Faster Order Fulfilment: Automation fulfils orders in as little as one hour. - Optimize Space: Micro-fulfilment fits into existing space to reduce footprint size and cost. - Scale for Growth: Micro-Fulfilment is flexible, allowing you to easily add to the system to increase capacity and expand fulfilment aligned to business needs. - Accurate Picking: Dematic software synchronises equipment, processes, and inventory for fast and accurate delivery. - Closer to Consumer: Using existing retail space in urban warehouses and distribution centres allows for goods to be stored near the end customer.
Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR)
A flexible automation solution for order fulfillment and product transport As e-commerce demands continues to grow, retailers must choose how best to respond to consumer expectations for accurate, on-time delivery. The goal is to scale operations for future growth within existing facility layouts while optimizing labor resources. To meet this goal, retailers must look to intelligent automated solutions such as AMRs to provide the flexible and scalable technology necessary to grow their operations. AMRs are industrial robots that lift and transport materials within your facility. They reliably navigate throughout the workspace by reading QR codes on the facility floor, responding to changing traffic conditions and adapting accordingly. Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) scanners mounted on the AMRs allow them to sense and avoid obstructions.
Pouch Sorter
Raising the Bar on Complex Order Fulfilment Customers want their orders fast, omni-channel fulfilment is a competitive advantage, managing high return rates is expensive and labour is hard to come by. These and other realities are all creating new and unique pressures within the order fulfilment environment. Dematic Pouch Sorter is a flexible storage system that consists of pouches suspended from rolling adapters running in a track. Each pouch carries a single item, which can be identified by its radio frequency identification (RFID) tag. Items of various types can go into the pouches, including folded garments, shoeboxes, accessories, books and general merchandise. Items are inducted into the pouch system, which sorts, sequences and delivers those pouches and hanging items to the packaging station for consolidation and further processing.
Robotic Picking Systems
Introducing Your Next High-Performing Team Member Technological advancements are empowering humans and machines to work side-by-side, running efficient operations that can run three shifts per day, 365 days per year. By integrating robotics systems into your operations, you gain an intelligent addition to your workforce, 24/7 picking capacity, and the benefits that fully automated, dependable operation can deliver. Robotics systems can seamlessly integrate into your operation to deliver faster and more accurate fulfilment while addressing top supply chain concerns like labour constraints and whipsaw changes in consumer demands.
Picking Systems
Automated Picking Solutions for More Efficient Operations Effective order fulfilment has become a top priority for any company dealing with a high volume of e-commerce orders, major labour constraints, and the continual need to do more with less. Companies now are turning to technology to optimise their current operations and improve their inventory management to meet consumer demand. Dematic offers numerous product picking solutions that maximise efficiency and reliability of your warehouse. Our comprehensive portfolio ensures fast, accurate, and efficient order picking in a fraction of the space that conventional method require.
Mixed Case Fulfilment
Mixed Case Fulfilment – Mixed Case Palletising Solutions Managing high labour costs, space constraints and time limitations don’t have be ongoing burdens for companies that want to optimise their warehouses and distribution centres. For mixed pallet loads, ensuring high performance and compact transportation can be difficult without a system to address and mitigate unforeseen circumstances. The Dematic Mixed Case Fulfilment solution optimises warehouse space with a cube layout that makes use of vertical space. The solution reduces transportation costs with optimally sized pallet loads and decreases the need for warehouse operational staff. The Dematic Mixed Case Fulfilment solution also improves retail replenishment by building aisle-ready pallets that simplify restocking. The automation provides significant throughput increases and prepares your operations for unforeseen disruptions.
Warehouse Storage Systems and Solutions
Secure Your Stock, Reduce Damage, Optimise Space, Increase Productivity and Accuracy Whether for heavy unit loads like pallets or smaller loads like totes and cases, storage is a fundamental requirement of every distribution centre. Yet storage is a paradox. On one hand it adds value by providing a critical buffer between your processes and your customer. But on the other, it adds significant real estate, building and inventory costs. Dematic offers a wide range of storage solutions designed to minimise and mobilise your stock. We can help you organise and control inventory on pallets, cartons (totes) and garments-on-hangers. No matter the scale of your facility, the type of inventory, or how it's packaged, our storage solutions offer your business important advantages.

Conveyor Systems
Efficient Product Flow from Receiving to Shipping Increasing throughput and capacity requirements, shorter processing times, and rising operational costs are driving the production and distribution managers to consider automation such as conveyor systems. The task of processing large quantities of conveyable inventory — cartons, cases, totes, bags, and stuffed envelopes — to pallets, skids, gaylords, tubs, and wheeled carts is ideal for convey and sort automation.
