Automation or flexibility? How Kitch’n said “Yes, we’ll have both”
Homeco runs the Nordic region’s largest kitchen and homewares operation — with AutoStore at its core. When outbound throughput became the bottleneck, the answer wasn’t more conveyors. Petter Grålumstuen, CTO at Homeco, and Marius Nordrik, CEO of OmniMod, share what it took to automate the other side of the warehouse: the practical decisions, the operational data, and the trade-offs no one talks about until they’re already in them. This is the deployment debrief you won’t find in any whitepaper.
