Newegg Case Study

Newegg opens new facility to service Midwest customers

Newegg, one of the largest e-commerce electronics retailers in the U.S., opened a new, 400,000 square foot distribution center in Indianapolis, IN, to better support its growing Midwest customer base. Bastian Solutions' engineers designed and integrated a new system featuring a robotic, goods-to-person shuttle system; Bastian Solutions' conveyor; and a light-directed picking lane for fast moving SKUs.

“Bastian has provided knowledgeable, hard-working, dedicated professionals from the start of the project and they continue to help support us to this day.” – Travis Burdine, Assistant Manager, Newegg
