en.Wedoany.com Reported - Mercadona has inaugurated its first partially automated sorting center in Madrid to handle e-commerce orders for non-perishable products. Located in the La Atalayuela industrial estate in the Vallecas district of Madrid, the facility has a daily processing capacity of 5,000 orders, reducing the workload for the 700 employees working there.

This platform is Mercadona's first semi-automated e-commerce logistics facility and also its largest, covering 32,000 square meters. The project investment amounts to 54 million euros, part of which was used to deploy automated processes.

The Vallecas sorting center will be equipped with 175 low-emission delivery vans, aiming to improve delivery efficiency and reduce environmental impact. These new vehicles will join the delivery fleets of 80 vans in Getafe and 50 in Boadilla del Monte.

This platform is the third such facility launched by Mercadona in the Community of Madrid, following those previously opened in Getafe and Boadilla del Monte. It is also Mercadona's seventh e-commerce sorting center in Spain, with others already established in Valencia, Barcelona, Alicante, and Seville.
