Due to the strong growth of e-commerce and ever increasing just-in-time requirements, companies are facing new challenges in intralogistics. While material flow and production logistics have been increasingly automated over the past few years, manual "reaching into the box" still predominates in order picking. Together with its partner robominds, HÖRMANN Logistik offers an ingenious, productive, and AI-supported pick-by-robot solution for optimizing picking stations with high throughput, a large variety of articles and 24/7 operation.

KraussMaffei Techologies, the world's leading manufacturer of machines and systems for plastics and rubber processing, is currently building a new plant in Parsdorf near Munich and is planning to restructure its entire intralogistics in this context.

Since the beginning of 2020, HÖRMANN Logistik also has the distribution rights for Austria, Switzerland and Eastern Europe in addition to Germany. To be able to work more intensively on the CEE markets in addition to the numerous new projects in Austria, HÖRMANN Logistik Polska Sp. z o.o. was founded.

Hörmann Logistik planned the special requirements for dynamics and pick rate in detail and will realize the project.

HÖRMANN Logistik implements numerous projects with the efficient AutoStore small parts warehouse system. Together with robominds GmbH, the pioneer for artificial intelligence from Munich, they have now developed the next level in warehouse automation. They combine advanced robotics technology with the dynamic, flexible, high-performance storage system AutoStore.

A new logistics hall was built at Munich Airport for the storage of gift articles, food, hygiene articles and spare parts. As general contractor, HÖRMANN Logistik built a 4-aisle automated small parts warehouse with an upstream conveyor loop. Four picking stations and two goods receiving stations are connected to the loop. The automatic small parts warehouse provides the store items to the eurotrade trading areas by means of efficient material flow and order picking processes.

Biohort GmbH from Neufelden (Austria) is the European market leader in metal storage solutions. The product portfolio includes high-quality tool sheds, practical outdoor storage boxes and useful items for the garden, such as raised beds. Biohort products are manufactured 100% in Austria by around 400 employees. For years Biohort has been growing continuously in the double-digit percentage range. To sustain this growth, a new main plant including production and logistics is built. In order to keep the built-up area as small and efficient as possible, a fully automated high-bay warehouse (HRL) was also chosen. Planning and realization of the 4-aisle high-bay warehouse for the storage of finished goods, semi-finished products, raw materials and consumables was carried out by HÖRMANN Logistik. The same applies to the connected pallet conveyor system for production and order picking. The new plant is to become the most modern thin sheet processing plant in Austria.

At the Leoben site, the headquarter of the corporate group, a modern, cutting-edge intralogistics solution with an automated, 3-aisle high-bay warehouse with conveyor systems, packaging and shipping zones will be deployed. HÖRMANN Logistik developed a sophisticsted concept based on the specifications of the planning specialist Xvise. On this basis, HÖRMANN Logistik was awarded general contractor for delivery of this custom intralogistics solution.

We highlight typical tasks from this "change" process from manual to automatic and the technical solutions used in the process. From the storage system, such as AutoStore®, to the warehouse management system HiLIS.
