INDUSTRIES – SOLUTIONS FOR BEVERAGES, FOOD & INDUSTRY
With scalable automation solutions and integrated software, we harmonise material flow, inventory and order picking – for predictable performance and measurable efficiency.
Requirements range from seasonality and product variety to hygiene, traceability and seamless connection to production and ERP.
BEVERAGES
High product diversity, smaller batches, many packaging forms – logistics sets the pace for availability and costs.
Typical requirements: capacity expansion, direct production connection, ensuring pallet quality.
Solution mix: high-bay & compact storage (single to multiple deep), manual to fully automatic picking, automated block storage with AGV/FTS.
Case teaser: Adelholzener – high-bay warehouse + block storage, EHB for production connection, pallet exchange/inspection; 24,000 storage locations, 6 aisles, double depth, –25% loading time.
FOOD & FROZEN FOOD
Hygiene standards, best-before dates/batches and an unbroken cold chain determine processes – including end-to-end data integration.
Typical requirements: Handling of a wide variety of containers, load carriers and goods, ergonomics in temperature ranges, integration into the production process, consolidation and sequencing.
Solution mix: high-bay and compact warehouses (including frozen storage), manual to fully automated picking, AGV-supported block storage.
Case teaser: Teekanne – capacity increase for raw materials; P2G and W2P picking; automatic
order supply for production, including direct connection to production planning.
INDUSTRY
Material flow is the focus – from goods receipt to JIT/JIS supply and assembly return; automation can be combined at all stages.
Typical requirements: deep IT integration, serial numbers/batches, handling of many
formats/weights, ergonomic workstations & assembly picking.
Solution mix: HRL & compact storage, picking workstations, AGV transport & tugger train integration.
Case teaser: Krones – capacity increase for individual parts/assemblies, multi-container handling (small parts to pallets), assembly kitting and consolidation, tugger train integration.
