This dedicated facility is an open space designed to showcase our innovative supply chain solutions, explore the supply chain of the future and provide an inspiring place to spark new ideas and nurture collaboration.
The Innovation Centre is home to the W² Innovation Programme which, since 2017, has consistently delivered on its mission to develop new ways of working to shape the digital supply chain of the future. Success stories include the use of wearable technology and artificial intelligence from Soter and an autonomous mobile robot solution by Sorion and ProGlove for eFulfilment.

As part of the offering, the centre also hosts an educational exhibition space where visitors can enjoy a fully immersive and interactive experience of Wincanton’s vision of supply chain innovation. Demonstrations include robotics and wearable technology, alongside live supply chain visibility dashboards powered by Wincanton’s cloud-based technologies, while the ‘City of the Future’ interactive tool showcases five customer-facing scenarios: grocery, home & DIY, eCommerce and home delivery, construction and infrastructure.
The interactive Innovation Centre, located adjacent to The WEB, Wincanton’s state of the art automated eFulfilment facility, will act as a hub to host customers, partners, colleagues and community groups.
