Fortna, an automation and software company for the full logistics value chain, has been selected by Magid Glove & Safety Manufacturing Company LLC (Magid), a fourth-generation family-owned personal protection equipment (PPE) manufacturer and distributor, to retrofit their Romeoville, Illinois distribution centre with a warehouse-ready, high-density AutoStore solution.
As a growing manufacturer and distributor, Magid strives for operational excellence while maintaining flexibility to meet growing customer needs and demands. Inventory management and improving productivity are critical for Magid, as well as optimizing capacity to get the most out of their warehouse square footage.
FORTNA, a global partner with AutoStore, will work with Magid to design and implement a warehouse-ready solution that includes the grid, robots, goods-to-person stations and software. FORTNA will integrate the solution and will also perform a full recontrol of the facility.
Warehouse-Ready Solution
“We have had our eye on a goods-to-person fulfillment system from AutoStore for several years. We spoke to nearly all of the AutoStore U.S. partners and ultimately decided to partner with FORTNA,” said Greg Cohen, CEO of Magid. “Their team listened to our requirements and designed a solution that will meet our requirements now and into the future. We are excited to partner with them and look forward to an extremely successful implementation that will help us better serve our customers.”
Rob McKeel, CEO, FORTNA, stated, “We are proud to partner with Magid to design and implement this next-generation, warehouse-ready solution. By leveraging our industry-leading software and our deep expertise in AutoStore technology, we will enhance and optimize Magid’s operating model.” McKeel added, “This comprehensive solution not only improves system performance but also drives greater labor efficiency, increases capacity and enhances inventory management.
