PCT’s main activities are the provision of loading / unloading and storage services for import and export containers handled via the Port of Piraeus, including cargoes which use Piraeus only as an intermediary station of transport (transshipment cargo).

TRADE LOGISTICS S.A., member of FOURLIS Group of companies, began its operations in March 2008 and provides logistics services, among other companies,  to IKEA stores and e-commerce in Greece. During the visit we will have the opportunity to explore the Company’s warehouse in Schimatari Voiotia, a groundbreaking 45,000 m² facility within a 100,000 m² privately owned area with direct Rail connection.  This DC serves the IKEA operation. It is considered as the most sophisticated and fully automated warehouse in Greece, consisting of two fully unmanned systems, that we will be able to observe in real time: the first one for pallet handling that serves stores operation, and the second for micro picking and packing, for the company’s ecommerce orders. Equipped with sophisticated IT algorithms and ΑΙ models, the micropicking automated can of producing around 700 pieces per hour per station as far as picking is concerned.
