Austrian Company Provides Rolldocking for Mercadona Warehouses

Janina and I did some research on Mercadona and its logistics system. This post is about the Rolldocking system of Mercadona.

An Austrian company called TGW Logistics has developed a new system called Rolldocking for Mecadona. The company describes its solution in a document that is only available in German http://www.tgw.at/uploads/media/MERCADONA_DEU_02.pdf


In this blog, we have summarized the main facts about this new technology.

Mercadona's requirements:

• Delivery of articles in single-origin truck loads using europallets or half pallets


• Maximum weight per pallet: 1000 kg


• Minimizing the employment of staff


• Buffering at leat 1,5 truck loads per article


• First in - first out


• Loading up to 800 pallets daily
