Warehouse automation
Major order from Swiss Post
Major order for Swisslog: Following a first joint automation project in Villmergen, Konton Argau, Swiss Post is once again relying on the expertise of the Swiss intralogistics expert. Swisslog is responsible for the complete implementation of intralogistics in the new construction of the Villmergen logistics center (LZV). As part of this, the company will install a new automated high-bay warehouse, an automated medium parts warehouse and an automated small parts warehouse including material flow control.
Increased storage capacity
The new logistics center will triple the logistics center's storage capacity for hospital logistics goods, hazardous goods or goods from online retail, for example. The new building will increase the storage area from 20,000 to 57,000 square meters. The ground-breaking ceremony for the major project took place on June 22, 2022. The logistics center is scheduled to open in 2025.
Swiss Post and Swisslog have a long-standing partnership. Swisslog has been working successfully with Swiss Post since the 1990s. At the Villmergen site, the first step towards automation was jointly implemented in 2016 with the installation of an AutoStore system.
The expansion now underway in Villmergen includes a high-bay warehouse with 23,000 pallet spaces, a medium-parts warehouse with 20,000 trays and an AutoStore system with a capacity of 125,000 containers for small parts. Swiss Post also relies on Swisslog's SynQ software for software control. SynQ stands for synchronized intelligence and is a fully integrated and consistent material flow automation solution with the aim of simplifying and accelerating the integration of new technologies.
