Swedish Healthcare Innovator Onemed Invests in Future Logistics with TGW Logistics Collaboration
In a move that is set to redefine efficiency in the healthcare sector, Swedish healthcare specialist Onemed has announced a significant investment in its logistics processes. The company, part of the Asker Healthcare Group, is teaming up with TGW Logistics Group to build a state-of-the-art, highly automated fulfillment center in Gothenburg. The new logistics facility aims to revolutionize the supply chain for hospitals, medical service providers, and health facilities by streamlining and automating operations.
Key Players and Future Vision
Bart van Eycken, Director of Sales at TGW Logistics’ Customer Unit Northern Europe, expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration, highlighting shared values and a strategic partnership approach. Van Eycken also noted the immense growth potential within the healthcare industry, expressing optimism for future joint ventures with the Asker Group.
The New Fulfillment Center in Gothenburg
Scheduled for completion by autumn 2026, the cutting-edge logistics center will feature the “TGW Flashpick” system, a groundbreaking technology combining storage and retrieval systems with intelligent software. This innovative system will automate the handling of products, ensuring quicker and more reliable delivery times.
Automation Highlights: Efficiency and Precision
One of the standout features of the new center is the “Rovoflex” picking robot. Developed by TGW, this robot offers high-speed, high-accuracy single-item picking, capable of up to 1,000 picks per hour while minimizing product damage and returns. The project also includes a 24-meter shuttle warehouse with 80,000 parking spaces, workstations designed for ergonomy, and clean room conditions for processing sterile products.
Consolidation for Sustainable Operations
The focus on sustainability is evident in the incorporation of TGW’s energy-efficient “KingDrive” technology and consolidation processes. These will reduce packaging material and waste, aligning with current initiatives to enhance environmental responsibility.
Continuing with Consafe Logistics
Parallel to the TGW partnership, Onemed will continue to utilize Consafe Logistics for its Warehouse Management System. The “Astro WMS” solution is expected to further enhance efficiency and accuracy, providing a cohesive digital infrastructure for all Onemed distribution centers.
The Bigger Picture
This investment is not just about technological advancement; it’s about setting new industry standards. The healthcare industry’s call for more streamlined and efficient supply chains has never been louder, and Onemed’s initiative aims to lead this charge. As the global demand for healthcare products continues to rise, the strategic partnership with TGW Logistics is a significant step towards meeting future needs more effectively.
