How Lidl Italy eliminated fines and streamlined logistics with RAVAS iCP
Discover how Lidl Italy optimised its logistics and eliminated fines with the RAVAS iCP fork scale, ensuring strict weight limits were met and improving efficiency.
The problem
Excessive loads
In a demanding market like Italy, Lidl faced major challenges due to excessive loads in their logistics chain. Each pallet had to be weighed manually upon arrival. Because operators had to move the pallets back and forth to a static floor scale, this was a time-consuming process that hindered operational efficiency. This lack of control over shipment weights not only increased the risk of costly fines ranging from €300 to €4,600, but also caused delays, returns and disruptions throughout the supply chain.
The logistical inefficiency and financial consequences underlined the urgent need for a reliable and accurate weighing solution to streamline operations and guarantee compliance.
The solution
Fork-lift trucks weigh
To meet these challenges, Lidl Italy implemented RAVAS' innovative iCP fork scale on 25 forklift trucks in their logistics operation. These intelligent weighing systems allow the weight of the load to be checked directly on the forklift trucks, eliminating the need for manual checking and guaranteeing absolute precision.
By integrating the iCP scales, Lidl gained full control over the weights of their shipments, effectively preventing fines and optimising pallet handling. This solution not only streamlined their logistics, but also reinforced Lidl's commitment to operational excellence and compliance with Italy's strict weight regulations.
