When Abbott, a global leader in nutrition and healthcare, modernised its Zwolle warehouse, the goal was to build a next-gen nutrition logistics hub capable of ensuring absolute storage compliance, reliable replenishment for production lines, and long-term scalability. The result is a high-density, rule-driven automated warehouse powered by Movu atlas, delivering efficiency, traceability, and flexibility in a demanding pharmaceutical/nutrition environment.

The Movu atlas high-density ASRS, powered by Movu OPS, unlocks seamless pallet flow for up to 6,000 pallet movements daily, all while reusing infrastructure and cutting CO₂ emissions.
