How intralogistics can help to achieve my company the competitive advantages?

This entrepreneurial goal can be achieved with the step into automated intralogistics. We highlight typical tasks of the "change" process from manual to automatic in a practical manner, as well as the technical solutions used in the process. From warehouse systems, such as AutoStore®, to the Warehouse Management System HiLIS.

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.
