Inther delivers turn-key automation systems for intralogistics – that is, all the activities that take place within the four walls of a distribution center. We design, integrate, and install intelligent material handling systems to improve efficiency and productivity. The storage and retrieval of items in a fully automated warehouse, the sorting of goods, order picking using pick-to-light, etc. are our expertise and daily business.

There is significant potential for the automated handling of food replacers and/or insects. Inther was in contact early on with CJ Wildbird Foods to determine which type of automated system would be most efficient in the rearing and harvesting of mealworms. Various options have been presented and discussed, and we are getting closer to finding the optimal system.

It is important to Inther to be involved in insect protein innovation not just from a business perspective, but also to play a part in the search for potential solutions to the global food supply problem.
