WITRON rückt mit dem Order Picking Network, kurz OPN, die Logistik in eine neue Perspektive. Nicht mehr allein die Leistung der Automatisierung steht im Mittelpunkt, sondern der Gesamt-Beitrag im Zusammenspiel von Warehouse, Transport, Store und Enterprise-Ebene. Für die beiden WITRON CEOs Helmut Prieschenk und Karl Högen markiert OPN deshalb einen Paradigmenwechsel: von der klassischen Optimierung im Logistikzentrum, hin zu einer durchgängigen, datenbasierten und dynamischen Netzwerkoptimierung.

With the Order Picking Network (OPN), WITRON is redefining logistics. The focus is no longer solely on automation performance, but on the overall value created through the interaction across warehouse, transport, store, and enterprise levels. For WITRON’s managing directors, Helmut Prieschenk and Karl Högen, OPN therefore marks a paradigm shift: away from traditional optimization within the logistics center towards end-to-end, data-based, and dynamic network optimization.

In this episode, I sit down with Karel De Jong from Jumbo and Johannes Meißner from Witron to unpack the real impact of next-generation warehousing. We dive deep into how centralization and automation are rewriting the rules of supply chain agility, with fresh food logistics as our stage. From overcoming labor shortages to integrating technology that keeps freshness at the forefront, we explore what it means to play the 'first violin' in the logistics orchestra. You'll hear firsthand how Jumbo's innovative facility became a model of efficiency and adaptability, and why the end consumer still calls the tune. Join us as we reveal the strategies, challenges, and future vision shaping the modern supply chain.
Richard Kearns always knows how his supply chains, his new warehouse in Hernando, Mississippi, or his logistics processes are performing - because he receives immediate feedback every single day. As Executive Vice President of Distribution & Logistics at Associated Wholesale Grocers (AWG), he serves demanding customers: the store operators are independent retailers who expect to be impressed by logistics performance every day. This is made possible by a highly automated full-range logistics center, designed and implemented by WITRON, which supplies 3,400 stores with a portfolio of currently 54,600 different dry, fresh, and frozen items. The facility is designed for a daily picking capacity of more than 460,000 cases and ranks among the most innovative and high-performance logistics centers in the United States. The results achieved are impressive. Labor and transportation costs have been significantly reduced.
