Several years ago KNAPP automated a part of the Multipharma warehouse in which an OSR Shuttle™ with two work stations was installed, as well as two fast-mover autopickers and KiSoft WCS for material flow control. For oversized goods or anaesthetics, system-guided RF picking will continue to be used.

Multipharma is one of the leading pharmaceutical wholesalers in Belgium. The product portfolio has around 13.000 items. The Group Multipharma owns 250 pharmacies, which are supplied daily from the distribution centre in Brussels. In 2008 the company achieved a turnover of 370 million Euros with approximately 1,400 employees.
