Integrated total solutions
Toyota Material Handling Germany relies on Logistics Solutions Integration
With the newly created Logistics Solutions Integration (LSI) division, Toyota Material Handling Germany will in future offer integrated complete solutions from a single source. The first LSI project is already in the starting blocks at Post Systemlogistik GmbH in Austria.
Following Toyota's systematic expansion of its industry presence with the acquisition of Bastian Solutions and Vanderlande Industries in 2017, the next step follows in the DACH region: With the Logistics Solutions Integration (LSI) division, Toyota Material Handling Germany is repositioning itself as a full-service provider for turnkey, integrated automation solutions.
Martina Möller will be responsible for the new division in her role as Head of "Strategic Customers, Logistics Solutions and Digitalization" at TMHDE. Alona Khalizeva, Group Head of Logistics Solutions Integration since 1 January 2022, will play a key role in shaping and driving the development. She brings several years of intralogistics experience from the AutoStore department at Hörmann Logistik GmbH.
Integrated complete solutions from a single source
The range of products bundled under the LSI division includes some of the latest intralogistics technologies designed to increase operational efficiency and profitability. Automated pallet warehouses, shuttle and self-supporting systems, sorters, conveyor systems and automated guided vehicles (AGVs) are used from goods receipt, storage and picking to packing and shipping. In addition, a warehouse execution system (WES) ensures that the warehouse control system (WCS) and warehouse stock management system (WMS) are integrated on the software side.
A key focus of the expanded portfolio is on an intelligent, automated small parts warehouse that uses automated robots for storage. Toyota is now also offering the modular and high-density system in German-speaking countries via its subsidiary Bastian Solutions. Customers benefit from the extensive experience of system integrator Bastian Solutions, which has been an official partner of AutoStore® since 2013.
Post Systemlogistik automates warehouse processes
With the automation of a small parts warehouse of Post Systemlogistik GmbH (a subsidiary of Österreichische Post AG), a well-known project partner has already been acquired: three Toyota Material Handling national companies (Germany, Spain and Austria) have jointly developed an overall concept. This has convinced Post Systemlogistik to realize the first LSI project in the DACH region with the Toyota Material Handling team.
"With this project, we want to increase the capacity and productivity of our fulfillment center. Our aim is to further increase customer satisfaction through faster and more reliable processes. The new solution also has the potential to significantly improve work ergonomics for our employees," says Thomas Hagen, Head of AutoStore® & Automation at Austrian Post, explaining the collaboration.
