200,000 sqm. 240 Shuttles. What’s Next at Elgiganten?
200,000 sqm. 240 Shuttles. What’s Next?
What a decade of automation at one of Europe’s largest logistics operations teaches us about the future of robotics.
About the Session
200,000 sqm. 96,000 automated storage locations. 240 shuttles. A decade of automation.
Elgiganten has already automated at a scale most companies are still working towards.
From its logistics hub in Jönköping, Elgiganten serves its Nordic markets from an operation spanning close to 200,000 sqm. At its heart sits a 32-metre-high automated warehouse with 96,000 storage locations and 240 shuttles.
But when Elgiganten expanded with another major 86,000 sqm facility, it made an interesting choice:
Keep it manual — while designing for automation over time.
So, after more than a decade of operating automation at scale: what do you automate next?
Where does fixed automation still win? Where does flexibility matter more? And as robots become more intelligent, autonomous and capable of operating in existing environments, could the next generation of warehouse automation look fundamentally different?
Expect real-world lessons, honest discussion and a practical look at what worked, what didn’t — and where robotics goes from here.
Who’s Leading the Conversation?
The conversation brings together Daniel Lundby, Logistics Director at Elgiganten Logistik, and Jan Erik Solem, Founder & CEO of Staer.
Daniel leads Elgiganten’s Nordic logistics operation in Jönköping and brings firsthand experience from operating automation at a scale few companies ever reach.
Jan Erik is the founder and CEO of Staer, building technology for the next generation of intelligent and autonomous physical operations.
Together, they’ll explore what a decade of automation has taught Elgiganten — and what the warehouse of the next decade could look like.
