Optimal material flows in the warehouse are made possible by the appropriate warehouse technology (as well as conveyor and order-picking technology). When planning new warehouses or modernising existing warehouses or logistics centres, the comparative evaluation of different degrees of automation and technology variants is becoming more and more difficult due to the variety of technology solutions and suppliers, among other things. The available technical product portfolio is both highly innovative and highly automated and digitalised.
But which technology is right for you? The problem when selecting the right degree of automation and the right technology is finding the suitable solution for the optimal process with an attractive business case. This is not an easy task for warehouse planners and logistics managers alike. The dimensioning of the storage cube, the determination of performance data and the calculation of investment costs are relevant for a rough analysis and evaluation of the technology variants. Moreover, the layout design and a 3D visualisation are of great importance for an optimal warehouse design. Efficient tools with standardised key figures, visualisation and evaluation methods are very helpful to quickly address this task.
We have a WareHouseDesign tool for this that has proven itself in numerous projects in the planning of new warehouses as well as in the optimisation of existing logistics systems. The most common systems and technical solutions on the market are stored in an extensive database with the relevant parameters and criteria. This means that small parts warehouses, pallet warehouses, shelves, order-picking and conveyor technologies can be planned and comparatively evaluated very quickly. Innovative technology applications for Logistics 4.0, which are offered on the entire market, are the preferred option. This is done from a vendor-neutral perspective and on the basis of extensive experience as a consulting and implementation partner for warehouse and intralogistics applications.
We have the experience for comprehensive, economic solutions in warehouse logistics and build the bridge between the processes and the technology. Selecting the right technology providers from a neutral position is an important matter for us and an additional benefit for our customers.
