Explore how The Stevens Company, a leading healthcare distributor in Brampton, Ontario, partnered with Bastian Solutions to transform its distribution operations with automation.

“This transformation has allowed us to overcome space and throughput constraints, scale during peak seasons and provide next day delivery to thousands of healthcare providers across Canada,” Stevens leadership team.

Bastian Solutions worked closely with Stevens’ Brampton distribution center to assess, design and implement an automation strategy that addressed the challenges of a 15+ year old brownfield facility. With growing SKU counts and rising demand, Stevens needed a scalable solution that could maximize existing space and deliver reliable throughput. The collaboration brought together AutoStore, conveyors, autonomous mobile robots and Exacta WCS to create a highly efficient and accurate fulfillment system.

- Maximized space utilization with 18,600 bins and 50,000 ft³ of AutoStore storage
- Increased throughput with 230 bin presentations per hour and 166 per port
- Improved accuracy with 99% of units picked directly from AutoStore
- Enabled scalability with 2X throughput on peak days and 10X during seasonal surges
- Expanded service reach to 96% of Canadians with free next day delivery
