Erfurt

Distribution logistics for the furniture industry – BILLY, GODMORGON and PAX

The IKEA distribution centre in Erfurt works in three warehouse complexes, which were built successively during the period of growth. Here, the most diverse of items are consolidated and regularly shipped to furniture stores around the country.

Perfect organisation is required for the enormous quantities of goods which pass through the distribution centre. All goods deliveries – whether by truck, rail or container – are electronically collected and compared with the data already saved in the IT system. If the delivery is complete and undamaged, the IT system automatically allocates bin locations to the goods. BLG’s tasks also include quality controls.
