ARCO: System integrator in intralogistics

ARCO is a systems integrator that brings hardware, software and data together to create complete intralogistics systems. The company helps customers in sectors such as e-commerce, retail, wholesale, 3PL and manufacturing to process higher volumes, reduce error margins and make processes scalable. With projects across Europe, ARCO has become a specialist in integrated solutions that perform in both the short and long term.

Where many providers focus on individual machines or partial solutions, ARCO focuses on the total. The systems are designed both to perform optimally today and to grow with tomorrow's requirements. ARCO is thus responding to an increasingly complex reality, in which order volumes are rising, personnel are scarce and pressure for efficiency is increasing.

Making progress together

ARCO operates as an independent systems integrator: always focused on the best possible performance for the customer. Whether optimizing multi-site logistics or scaling e-commerce operations, the approach is proactive, flexible and fully tailored to the customer's business case. By taking responsibility for the entire process - from analysis and design to realization and aftercare - ARCO builds long-term partnerships with one goal: making progress together.

Systems and modules for complete intralogistics

ARCO offers a wide range of systems and modules that can be used at any stage of the intralogistics process. These solutions are modular and connect seamlessly:

Inbound and storage - receiving, buffering and automated storage solutions
Order picking and sorting - Accelerates order flows and reduces error margins
Conveying and transport - Optimizes internal flow with smart conveyor systems
Packaging and labeling - Integrates packaging and labeling solutions into the process
Palletizing and outbound - efficient modules for order consolidation and shipping
Software and data - platforms for real-time visibility and full system control

From mechanical engineering to systems integration

ARCO has its roots in conveyor systems and grew to become a high-end machine builder. In 2016, the direction shifted to software-driven system integration. The team now consists of more than eighty employees, many of whom are software engineers. This unique combination of mechanical expertise and software innovation is the basis for the rapid development the company is undergoing. Concrete results of this are its own platforms Synthesize and KANSI.

Synthesize is the Warehouse Control System (WCS) that acts as the brain of the line and allows hardware and software to work together seamlessly. KANSI is the data platform that provides real-time insight into performance and bottlenecks. Thanks to intuitive dashboards, operators and team leaders immediately see where capacity is being lost so that adjustments can be made faster. Together, these innovations ensure fewer errors, less downtime and higher output with the same number of FTEs.

Benefits of ARCO´s systems in practice

ARCO's approach provides customers with tangible benefits, such as:

Higher throughput per operator, per hour and per square meter
Less dependence on scarce personnel
Real-time visibility into performance and bottlenecks
Scalable, flexible systems that grow with order volumes
Integration of best-fit hardware and software, independent of brand
24/7 service and quick support for maximum uptime

Partner in performance

For ARCO, one principle applies: intralogistics should not limit ambition, but should accelerate it. Based on this conviction, the company develops systems that deliver top performance today and grow with the customer tomorrow.
