Chr. Hansen has decided to digitize its warehouse operations to ensure full traceability in the storage and shipping processes of its sensitive products for the food and biotechnology sectors. Increasing stock accuracy, enabling lot-based tracking, and maintaining quality standards, particularly in temperature-controlled areas, were among the project's key objectives.
With the implemented WMS solution, all processes from goods receipt to shipment are now managed in real-time using barcodes. Lot/serial-based traceability facilitates retrospective tracking, reduces error rates, and increases operational efficiency. Thus, Chr. Hansen's quality-focused production and distribution processes are supported by a robust digital infrastructure.
- Cold chain warehouse management
- Full lot/serial-based traceability
- ERP integration
- Expiration date (EXP) tracking
- Losses due to expiration dates reduced by 60%
- Order preparation time shortened by 30%
- Retrospective traceability achieved at 100%
