Warehouse optimization & logistics consulting

In a survey about the e-commerce market leader in terms of logistics in Germany, 52 percent of those surveyed said, no wonder, that Amazon.de is the market leader. Dhl.de only follows with 14%. The distance is already considerable. In terms of customer service in the area of ​​e-commerce, Amazon is also the market leader with a remarkable 48%, ahead of Zalando.de with 12%. This is followed by Otto.de with 6% and Rewe.de with 2%.

In your opinion, which company in the German e-commerce industry is the market leader in terms of logistics?

Another example is the relevance of drones in logistics. For 36%, drones have a very low relevance, for 21% and 22%, respectively, they have a moderate to low relevance. You should always keep an eye on technologies such as RFID, drones or other ideas, some of which are certainly innovative, but you should also be able to assess whether they make sense for your company and bring added value. It also depends on the question and, above all, on the industry or product type.

E-commerce is the benchmark for logistics in terms of automation and digitalization

Automating such processes is only part of the solution. Structures and management must also be put to the test. But above all, it is important that people do not lose control and overview.

Logistics advice & used machines: Is it worth buying second-hand warehouse logistics, storage lifts or carousel warehouses?

There is no question that modern devices for efficiently managing intralogistics processes in the warehouse are made for the permanent stress and strain of continuous operation. The robust construction of horizontal carousel warehouses or vertical storage lift systems is designed for a long service life, which, in addition to their efficiency in process handling, makes them a system solution that is in demand by more and more companies.

However, it is precisely this durability that makes it just as interesting for the used machine market; The devices can usually be dismantled relatively quickly and reassembled at another location. The software that controls it is also designed to be integrated into existing warehouse management systems as easily as possible.

History of intralogistics

Logistics in the 1850s / History of Intralogistics – Image: Xpert.Digital / Stocksnapper|Shutterstock.com

Although material flow and intralogistics were certainly not discussed when the stone blocks were made available for the construction of the pyramids, the tasks associated with these terms have been carried out for thousands of years. Initially without any degree of automation, but with the invention of the wheel, the first technical aid was used to manage logistical processes. The source of logistical tasks was mostly the military, which has demanded the functioning transport of material and soldiers since ancient times. Larger construction projects with logistical demands, such as the construction of the pyramids, were still the exception. The technology used changed little over the following centuries, and it was only with the advent of industrialization that progress began to make its way into logistics.

Plan photovoltaics for warehouses, commercial halls and industrial halls

Whether it's a flat roof or a pitched roof, everything is free of roof penetration.

Politicians are getting serious, the new climate protection law, the heart of the Green Deal , is driving measures and developments forward. Legal regulations for new commercial buildings with photovoltaics requirements already apply in some federal states.

What is roof penetration free?

With a roof-penetration-free photovoltaic roof installation, no holes have to be drilled through the roof or other interventions have to be made. Sloped gable and monopitch roofs, which are designed with bitumen or foil covering, could previously hardly be realized without roof penetration or only with great effort.

Logistics acceleration of e-commerce and turbo for smart cities

Image: E-Mart @Xpert.Digital

E-commerce, initially laughed at and neglected, has transformed not only the global world but also the Internet into a “local” shopping center and at the same time completely changed our habits and expectations.

Without digital platforms, our world would be unthinkable today. Who still remembers going to the video store, where today we just pull out the remote control and use Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+ and all the online video offers? Many people book their trips almost exclusively online and don't even go to the local travel agency. And of course, we already generally order gifts, devices and other accessories online, including from Amazon, eBay and Google.

The lessons of the crisis: Logistics as a key factor

The lessons of the crisis: Logistics as a key factor – Image: Production Perig|Shutterstock.com

The corona pandemic is inevitably driving forward digital transformation, especially in the “key industries”, i.e. those industries that are of particularly great economic importance due to their innovative strength, size and interconnections with other sectors of the economy. The focus is on logistics: Although many companies have reduced their production, logistics must maintain supply chains and flows of goods. But while new working models such as home offices and virtual meetings have made their triumphant progress in other areas, the supply chain is still struggling with digitalization. The time is too short to adapt all capacities and stocks to the new challenges. This is all the more serious because consumer behavior has changed, which has been made clear by the temporary sales of numerous goods such as toilet paper, disposable gloves and disinfectants. The wheels of order, planning, production and delivery no longer meshed with each other.

When do automated intralogistics solutions make sense in e-commerce?

E-Commerce Automation – Image: Xpert.Digital / gualtiero boffi|Shutterstock.com

Online retail has changed supply chains, and speed and precision are king. Modern intralogistics based on digitalization and automation is a prerequisite for being able to survive in the ever-increasing competition. And digitalization does not just mean switching accounting from paper to an electronic system. In order to remain fit for the future, companies need increasingly intelligent systems for intralogistics. On the one hand, this applies to CEP services , which handle the shipping and returns of goods, but on the other hand, it also applies to internal logistics with storage and picking of items.

The trend here is towards ever greater automation. The industry leader Amazon by purchasing the US company Kiva Systems . This is an innovative and very flexible intralogistics solution in which the shelves are automatically transported to the picking stations using mini robots. Sure, it's a big solution that isn't suitable for every company. But you can also go a size smaller. The use of shuttle systems in the warehouse is also an opportunity for smaller retailers to automate their processes.
