Logistics have become multi-layered and more complex. Globalization and e-commerce brought a dynamic that did not exist 15 years ago. Flexibility becomes a yardstick for groundbreaking decisions and success. Of course, there is much more to the latter, but without scalable, dynamic or flexible storage technology, the basis for this step is missing.
- We offer organizational and planning ideas through to turnkey solutions.
- If required, we also provide market figures and forecasts for over 150 countries.
Dynamic, flexible and scalable logistics
Speed and flexibility are the direction of the future. Anyone who stands still will be overtaken by the competition. Here is an example in the Media Markt case .

Autonomous Retail Systems (ARS) – Allowing the possible to do the impossible creates a new reality – expanding sales channels
Today, when many people think of autonomy or automation in retail and logistics, they immediately think of job destruction, robotics, zero service, no people at the checkout, cold and desolation.
Issues like urbanization scare some people. You live in it and yet you can't talk about it. Even if there are opportunities for the better, one longs for the apparent security. Everything should stay as it is right now. Out of insecurity or comfort. What is certain is that nothing is certain. Not even that.

What will be crucial for the future will be how we secure the infrastructure of our key industries!
Key industries in Germany today include the automotive industry, construction industry, food, chemical industry, electrical industry, energy production, mechanical engineering and shipyards.
If we want to maintain the standards of our key industries, including human resources, and further expand them for the future, then we actually have to do a lot more. It's not just about us, but also about the environment and nature, for us and our descendants.
On the one hand, the gaps in basic services in rural regions must be closed again, and on the other hand, urbanization also has the highest priority, taking the above-mentioned aspects into account.

The horizontal carousel warehouse is a dynamic circulation warehouse. If there is a lack of upward space because the ceiling of the warehouse is very low, but it goes deep into the room on a horizontal level, a horizontal circulation warehouse is the ideal storage solution for automating warehouse logistics.
The switch from mechanical storage systems to automated to fully automated storage solutions is a major challenge of intralogistics 4.0.

When it comes to maintaining efficient processes in the warehouse during growth phases, e-commerce startups quickly reach their logistical limits. The reasons for this are usually the lack of experience in handling the increased quantities and an internal warehouse management infrastructure that is only inadequately prepared for the growing requirements. This article shows that this does not have to be the case.

Not all logistics are the same. This becomes particularly clear when considering the many transport and storage requirements of pharmaceutical products. After all, a temperature-sensitive serum has completely different requirements than, for example, a painkiller. In addition, no other globally operating industry is confronted with such different national requirements for manufacturing and sales as the pharmaceutical industry.
