ATLANTA, GEORGIA / ACCESS Newswire / June 3, 2025 / Dematic, a global leader in supply chain automation, recently partnered with Scentsy, an international fragrance company, to transform its facility in Meridian, Idaho. The newly implemented advanced automation system provides improved efficiency, increased picking capacity, and faster order fulfillment.
Scentsy's 160,000-square-foot facility features Dematic Warehouse Execution System (WES) software with an AutoStore system (with 20,800 product bins, 100 R5 robots, 16 carousel picking ports, and two conveyor ports) and a pick-to-cart system. The operation performs automated piece picking for e-commerce order fulfillment and allows Scentsy to increase picking capacity to 450 units per hour, nearly a 50% improvement from the 300 units per hour from its previous manual pick line.
"Like our customers, we continuously evolve and adapt. To remain at the forefront and exceed expectations, we transformed our approach so we could ship products faster, more accurately, and with better inventory visibility," says Paul Klassen, Scentsy chief operating officer. "Dematic has been a trusted partner throughout this journey, working with us to provide a solution, not just another system. Their expertise helped us embrace automation, enhance efficiency, and better prepare for the future."
Scentsy's inventory continues to grow from frequent new product launches and stocking of discontinued scents. The Dematic solution maximizes storage space, maintains consistent processing speeds, and adapts quickly to fluctuations in demand. Customers receive accurate on-time orders, even during peak periods or new product launches. The solution helps conserve natural resources by reducing paper waste as employees access order information digitally instead of using printed tickets. Additionally, the efficient storage and retrieval process of the AutoStore system minimizes energy use, supporting broader eco-friendly best practices..
"The trust Scentsy has in Dematic underscores our dedication to providing innovative, scalable solutions that drive business growth," says Mike Oren, Dematic senior vice president of sales for the Americas region. "This partnership is a powerful example of how technology can transform operations and create exceptional customer experiences."
