Mainz, Germany, 25th January 2023 – Automation plays an important part of the future of food retail. At EuroShop 2023 Viessmann Refrigeration Solutions, a leading supplier of commercial refrigeration solutions, presents a nano fulfillment center with integrated refrigeration solution. The storage solution is co-developed with Noyes Technologies, provider of the first fully automated and highly flexible warehouse ‘NoyesStorage’ for smallest areas. 

The fully automated, compact, and modular nano fulfillment center allows for easy integration into food retailer’s existing stores, logistics hubs or external locations. The nano-storage enables automation of the smallest warehouse areas whilst increasing transparency in inventory, storage capacity and throughput. 

The interplay of the robots inside the automated storage with the NoyesBrain enables order picking based on the product information stored inside the Cloud. This leads to an improved, fast, and efficient order picking process allowing food retailers to handle online orders without disturbing their customers inside the stores.  

According to Marco Prueglmeier, co-founder and CEO of Noyes, the nano fulfillment center will support to optimise logistics processes and reduce operational costs. “By working together with Viessmann, we can now offer the unique possibility of integrating refrigerated goods in just a few hours without having to rebuild the entire system. This helps retailers to save costs and increases sustainability. We are happy to see the nano warehouse to be presented at EuroShop for the retail world”, says Marco Prueglmeier. 

"Our cooperation with Noyes has been agile and innovative. The automation technology expertise by Noyes combined with our refrigeration technology know-how has resulted in a unique warehousing solution where food produce can safely and efficiently be delivered to the consumers. We are excited to present it for the first time at EuroShop and look forward to the discussions with our customers" says Frank Winters, CEO of Viessmann Refrigeration Solutions.
