Services at a Glance
Shelving
Structured storage keeps all goods accessible at all times, so different product types can also be stored together in one storage row.
Block storage
Space is used as efficiently as possible by stacking stackable pallets, crates or mesh boxes of the same item on top of each other without racks. This method keeps costs to a minimum through intensive use of space.
Small parts
Quickly available small parts are stored in a clearly organised way, with advanced technologies increasing efficiency.
Automated
IT-controlled, mechanised storage and retrieval systems ensure maximum cost-effectiveness. Intelligent functions such as camera-based pallet recognition and automated putaway ensure seamless processes and maximum productivity.
