Logistics solution
All levels (Basement / Ground floor / 1st floor / 2nd floor) are connected by an automatic conveyor system. The trays and cardboards are placed onto the conveyor system in the commissioning area situated in the basement. Over elevators and C-conveyors the trays are transported to the 1st floor and 2nd floor and are conveyed via belt conveyors (under the ceiling) to the dispatch area / dynamic buffer / dispatch inspection / commissioning.
Short cycle times, a high productivity by intelligent planning of the material flow with specific combination and distribution of the delivery orders are some examples regarding the requirements for the dynamic flow of goods.
