Intralogistics

When you invest in state-of-the-art industrial facilities, you tie up a lot of your company’s capital for a long time. We offer you holistic, integrated intralogistics system designs supported by cutting-edge technology. Whether you need a simple conveying and storage system to handle all types of standard material containers or a highly automated, integrated system which includes the filling and packaging lines, we show you how to optimize your entire material flow and achieve a sustained competitive advantage.

All of the systems which we develop are based on a common set of goals to sustain the overall long-term business success of your production site:

• Increased production efficiency
• Reduced cost
• Maximum profitability

Working closely with our high-capability partner SSI Schäfer, we are able to combine intralogistics expertise from more than 500 projects across a range of industries with the systems planning experience that we have gained over many years. We can offer you all-inclusive intralogistics expertise.

Planning, consulting and responsibility for implementation

Regardless of whether your project involves a complete intralogistics system or stand-alone equipment, it is absolutely essential that you have planning information which you can rely on. Because we have such an extensive experience base, we can assess the project from a number of angles during the conceptual phase, enabling us to identify and resolve potential problems right from the start. We utilize state-of-the-art engineering tools such as 3D visualization, realistic animation and process simulation. Very early on, we generate reliable data which can be used as a basis for making decisions. Space constraints can make it difficult to optimize existing systems which have evolved over time. However, planning and reorganization are no problem for us even in these situations. As part of our comprehensive consultancy services, we work closely with you to identify the best way forward and then move on to the implementation phase.

Storage and material handling

We place particular emphasis on your storage and material handling needs. The leading-edge, high-performance warehouse systems installed at your production site give you the warehouse management tools you need to efficiently manage your inventory and material flows and increase your company’s effectivity. Our professional material management system designs include latest-generation automatic rack storage and removal equipment along with intelligent dynamic buffer systems which can be used to segregate different line and process segments.

A complete set of horizontal and vertical conveyors provides the interconnecting links in your fully automated work and material flows. We configure this high-performance material control and handling equipment to create complex conveyor systems that deliver high availability and operational reliability. Many of the systems we provide now include highly versatile AGVs (automatic guided vehicles).

Service and operations

We remain at your side after the implementation phase, providing dependable service and excellent support. The services we provide to you include maintenance on the entire system and smooth delivery of spare parts. Our experts are available at the other end of the hotline 24 hours a day to answer your questions.

As part of our retrofit service, we thoroughly access your production system and make any technical modifications that are needed to meet current market and customer requirements.

Energy efficiency

Energy efficiency at your production site is one of our major priorities. We pay particular attention to environmental protection and resource conservation on any new design or reorganization project. Not only do you reduce your environmental impact, your operating costs are lower and you protect the investment you have made at the production site.

Many years of experience, strong alliances and efficient energy utilization are what we mean by state-of-the-art intralogistics systems design for today’s production facilities.
