The focus on high -bay warehouse: Industry solutions for maximum efficiency

Vertical warehouse strategies: how high -bay warehouses transform entire industries

The optimization of storage capacities and logistics processes is a central concern of modern companies across all economic sectors. High -bay warehouse has proven to be a varied solution that is used far beyond the classic logistics industry. From food production to the automotive industry to the pharmaceutical industry and plastic processing - wherever efficient storage and quick access are required, these vertical storage systems are used. The following report illuminates how different industries use high -bay warehouse, what specific requirements you place and which overarching trends are emerging.

Suitable for:

  • Automation & digitization: Würth, Procter & Gamble, Seeberger, Oknoplast & Co.Automation & digitization: Würth, Procter & Gamble, Seeberger, Oknoplast & Co.

Definition and general properties of high -bay bearings

By definition, a high -bay warehouse is a warehouse with shelves from a height of 12 meters, whereby they can reach a maximum height of 50 meters in Germany. This bearing form typically consists of robust steel structures that can carry high field loads of up to 28 tons. The special resilience makes high -bay warehouse ideal for storing a wide variety of goods, from palletized goods to small parts items that are accommodated in special storage containers.

Highly bay warehouse is characterized by their efficient use of space, since they optimally take advantage of the vertical dimension and thereby offer a multiple of storage capacity on a limited floor area. This property makes them particularly attractive for companies with a high goods run and limited space. Modern high-bay warehouse is also often automated and equipped with shelf operating devices (RBG) that enable quick and precise storage and outsourcing.

Application in the food and beverage industry

The food and beverage industry places specific requirements for warehousing, including controlled environmental conditions and efficient warehouse management for products with different durability times.

Martin Bauer Group, a manufacturer of semi -finished goods, offers an example of the use of high -bay bearings in this industry. The company has built a modern, 31-meter-high high-bay warehouse in silo construction, which has five shelf alleys and more than 10,000 pallet parking spaces. A special feature of this warehouse is the inertization to fire protection, in which the oxygen content is lowered by the nitrogen additive to prevent fire development from the outset.

The Polish snack manufacturer Lajkonik also uses a high -bay warehouse with automated drawers to operate the growing demand for its products. This system increases the storage capacity without additional personnel requirements and enables efficient use of space. The implemented solution combines automation with manual transports and includes a hybrid charging concept for the vehicles.

Another example is Beneo, a manufacturer of functional ingredients that invested 7.7 million euros in a new high -bay warehouse at the Offstein location. This has a capacity of more than 8,500 euro pallets and thus quadrupled the company's storage capacity for functional carbohydrates such as isomalt and palatinosis. With this investment, Beneo was able to significantly reduce its transport routes and at the same time increase security of supply for customers.

Highly bay warehouse in the automotive industry

The automotive industry with its complex supply chains and just-in-time production process benefits particularly from the advantages of modern high-bay warehouse. This industry needs highly efficient storage systems to ensure the smooth running of production.

Volkswagen, for example, operates a body warehouse in Wolfsburg, in which around 40 by 70 meters of around 1,000 bodies of the Golf, Golf Plus and Tiguan models are temporarily stored. As part of a modernization measure, the old shelving funding systems were replaced by the new “Positioning Solution System” from PSI Technics, which improves the efficiency and accuracy of storage.

High -bay warehouses are particularly valuable in the automotive industry because they can absorb large quantities of parts and components and at the same time enable quick access. This is crucial for maintaining production speed and flexibility, which is characteristic of automobile manufacturers.

Pharmaceutical and healthcare industry relies on high-bay warehouse

The pharmaceutical and healthcare industry is subject to strict regulatory requirements and therefore requires storage systems that can meet the highest quality and security standards.

An outstanding example of the use of high -bay bearings in this industry is Losan Pharma, an order manufacturer and development partner of the pharmaceutical industry. In Eschbach, the company is building an innovative logistics center with a fully automated high -bay warehouse that will supply the new production facilities with raw materials and at the same time serve as a shipping camp for the drugs produced. Commissioning is planned for the end of 2026. The high-bay warehouse is built in self-supporting siloba and connected to the production and packaging areas by driverless transport systems (FTS).

The advantages of such systems for the pharmaceutical industry are obvious: automation is minimized by human errors, the traceability is improved and the strict quality requirements can be observed consistently.

Plastic and construction industry uses vertical storage options

In the plastic and construction industry, high-bay warehouse has also established themselves as a efficient solution for warehousing.

The manufacturer of plastics guns GroKu plastics plans to build a second high-bay warehouse at the headquarters in Holte-Stukenbrock Castle. The aim is to enlarge the production facility and a significant increase in the storage capacity by around 9,000 parking spaces. The company opted for a high -bay warehouse due to the space -saving vertical construction, which enables large storage capacities on a little area.

Gealan, a manufacturer probably in the area of ​​plastic profiles, has built a new fully automated high -bay warehouse with an investment of 16 million euros at the Tanna location. Investment is described as one of the largest in the younger company history and is intended to help the company "to get simplicity, efficiency, speed and a good overview in an increasingly complex world".

Other branches of industry rely on modern high -bay warehouse

The versatility of high -bay bearings can also be seen in other industrial branches, from metal processing to the supply industries.

Würth Industrie Service has inaugurated a new automated high -bay warehouse with 59,000 pallet parking spaces at the Bad Mergentheim location. As a provider of industrial needs, Würth needs a powerful warehouse system to provide the diverse products for customers of various industries.

The Rheinmetall subsidiary MS Motorservice International GmbH is building a state-of-the-art high-bay warehouse for the automated storage of Euro pallets at the location in Neuenstadt. This four -grass warehouse is to be operated in three -shift operation and absorb 300 to 400 pallets a day. The warehouse serves as a post -drawer for shipping and is primarily intended to optimize the material flow. Particularly noteworthy is the installation of six driverless transport systems and a bridge for the pallet transport between the high -bay warehouse and the existing building.

Similarities and industry -specific differences

When looking at the various areas of application of high -bay bearings, both essential similarities and industry -specific differences are noticeable.

One of the similarities is the trend towards automation. Almost all examples considered rely on automated systems, from shelf operating devices to driverless transport systems. Likewise, all companies strive for optimal use of space and an increase in storage capacity without additional space.

The differences are mainly in the specific requirements of the respective industry. For example, the food industry relies on special fire protection measures such as inertization, while the pharmaceutical industry places the highest demands on cleanliness and traceability. The automotive industry, on the other hand, requires systems that enable rapid storage and outsourcing of large-volume components such as body.

Current trends for high -bay bearings

The development of high -bay bearings clearly shows in the direction of increasing digitization and sustainability. An article from March 1, 2025 describes high -bay warehouse as a key component of modern, efficient and future -proof supply chains that go far beyond pure capacity expansion. Robot -controlled systems, intelligent software and a strong focus on sustainability shape the latest developments in this area.

The cross -industry relevance of high -bay bearings is underlined by investing in this technology in this technology. This makes it clear that modern high -bay warehouse is not only important for specialized industries, but for the entire industry.

The central role of high -bay bearings in modern industry

The cross -industry use of high -bay bearings is a clear evidence of its central role in modern industrial landscape. From food production to automotive production to pharmaceutical industry and plastic processing - wherever efficient warehousing is required, these systems have prevailed.

The examples considered show that high-bay warehouse is not only a tool for storage, but a strategic competitive advantage that enables companies to optimize their production and supply chains. Investments in this technology, which often move in the double -digit million range, underline their economic importance.

In times of increasing automation, digitization and sustainability, high -bay warehouses symbolize the change in industry. They represent the combination of efficient use of space, automated processes and intelligent control - factors that are of central importance for almost all branches of industry. High -bay warehouse has developed from a specific solution for individual industries to a universal answer to the logistical challenges of the present and future.
