ASKO

ASKO is Norway’s largest grocery wholesaler. ASKO distributes products to grocery stores, convenience stores, and institutional catering companies.

Industry: Grocery wholesale

Location: Norway

Challenges:

ASKO needed to improve ergonomics by automating the heavy lifting of pallets. The company:

• Lacked an automated warehouse solution
• Needed to move heavy pallets between 20-25 KG while protecting worker health

Solutions Implemented:

A new quality control system prevents injuries without increasing human effort. Now:

• A pallet quality and control system automatically repairs protruding nails
• The system inspects top and bottom boards, blocks, tunnels, and foil remains

Benefits:

The pallet inspection and sortation system ensures high pallet quality throughout the warehouse. As a result:

• Employees enjoy ergonomic benefits
• Distribution runs more smoothly thanks to increased pallet quality
