Asda showcases new Warrington warehouse

Asda has been showcasing the technology in place at its new £100m Automated Retail Distribution Centre in Warrington. Site manager Tom James, alongside Asda’s Deputy CEO and Chief Operating Officer, Roger Burnley gave an official guided tour of the facility to Prince Andrew, made an official visit to the world’s first Automated Retail Distribution Centre to see the cutting edge technology at the new £100 million Asda facility in Warrington.

According to Asda, the warehouse is “97% automated”; and the 600 staff work alongside robotic technology to process around four million cases per week, serving 140 Asda stores across the North of England and beyond.

The site features nine state-of-the-art robotic cranes, which each control 27,000 individual pallet locations and are all able to lift pallets as high as 27 metres, which is higher than any fork lift truck currently can do
Asda’s parent company, US-based Walmart, is “closely monitoring” the operation, with a view to replicating similar facilities across its operations in North America.
