Handling

Automation in warehousing is about using technology to unlock productivity and improve overall quality. For example, cobots allow for increased productivity in order picking during peak periods, which is crucial with the short delivery times associated with e-commerce activities. At FM Logistic, we develop cutting-edge technologies and handling solutions with a high level of execution. Operations such as inventory management, order picking, replenishment or loading and shipping can be automated with advanced technologies. We use a wide range of solutions such as inventory viewers, AGVs (Autonomous Guided Vehicles), AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robots), shuttle pallets, goods-to-man, cobots…

FM Logistic has a balanced portfolio of international and local companies in different sectors. We deploy handling solutions that meet international standards on a global scale, for the benefit of our client, while remaining strong locally. By taking into account national characteristics and capitalising on local opportunities, we have adapted our global model to local communities and markets.
As a leading logistics provider, we undertake concrete actions that underline our commitments, such as our Pooling model, the reference for organising pooling between retailers and distributors in each country. We are also developing stock visualisation as a global handling technique for local use. Wherever we are, we act locally with the strength of a global company.

As a leading logistics expert, we are committed to the health and safety of our operators and therefore to improving working conditions. That’s why we have been taking measures for several years to reduce accidents, prevent occupational diseases and improve working conditions.
The job of order picker involves carrying loads and handling packages. Faced with this situation, we have designed ERGOSKEL, a physical assistance device, in partnership with the UTC – University of Technology of Compiègne.
Equipped with a mechanical system, the user keeps his freedom of movement and his know-how at work, while reducing by 70% the muscular activity of the upper limbs and the back.
Moreover, forklift trucks are at the heart of the movements of boxes and pallets from truck to shelves and at the forefront of our ambition to make the supply chain more responsible. They are very low-emission due to their indoor operation. Current thermal engines mostly use natural gas, or the forklifts are powered by electric batteries.
In order to study the right energy flexion in terms of sustainability and working conditions, FM Logistic chooses to equip its warehouse in France, near Orléans, with 54 forklift trucks running on hydrogen fuel cells.
