Requirement
Faced with the imperative to enhance logistics performance and unable to expand its regional warehouse in Kalbakken (Oslo), ASKO strongly aimed at intralogistics automation. So, in 2018, it asked its long-time partner ITO PallPack for an initial technological solution. In 2022, a decisive enhancement for improving performance was undertaken: integrating the pallet shuttle system ESMARTSHUTTLE®, designed and patented by Eurofork®.
“This latest development is an extension and empowerment of the first one carried out about six years ago”, says Bent Maehre, Sales Manager of ITO PallPack. Before adopting the ITO and Eurofork® solution, pallets and containers for shipments were stack-stored and managed manually.

Actually, speed in handling was a primary driver in the task realized with Eurofork®”.
