PepsiCo Polska is working with Mecalux to drive forward the automation of its logistics and is planning an intelligent warehouse.

The ground-breaking ceremony for the expansion of the TGW headquarters in Marchtrenk took place on September 25. TGW Logistics will invest in a 25,000 m² production building and a highly automated warehouse system by summer 2026.

Storage media leverage savings potential
More and more operators are equipping their storage and retrieval machines (SRMs) in automated small parts warehouses with energy-saving capacitors as a storage medium. For SRMs in refrigerated warehouses, capacitor storage pays for itself quickly, as the energy is not converted into thermal energy as is usual with braking resistors and has to be compensated for with additional energy input from the refrigeration system.

The ground-breaking ceremony for a new, automated Swisslog logistics center for Quooker in Nieuw Reijerwaard, the Netherlands, has been held and was celebrated appropriately.

MS Motorservice International, the sales organization for Rheinmetall's global aftermarket activities, has commissioned Kardex Mlog as general contractor to build a four-aisle high-bay warehouse at its Neuenstadt site. The high-bay warehouse will be connected to the dispatch area, the incoming goods area, an existing narrow-aisle warehouse and a picking and testing area with automated conveyor technology.

For the first time, Dematic will be exhibiting at two stands at Logimat. The automation technology provider wants to show how users can master the challenges of intralogistics with its material flow solutions.

Single-mast storage and retrieval unit
Westfalia Technologies will be exhibiting its latest bestseller for the first time at Logimat - a compact single-mast storage and retrieval machine.

Storage and order picking technology
As general contractor, Kardex Mlog has built an eight-aisle, fully automated high-bay warehouse for 52,640 pallets and up to 400 pallet movements per hour for the logistics service provider Dachser in Memmingen.

Once again, our cover features a high-bay warehouse. This is located in Kaltenkirchen near Hamburg at the medium-sized supplier Wiska, that much can already be revealed here.
With very compact rail carts, a new electric floor conveyor system creates added value in warehouse logistics. It enables a flexibly variable number of self-sufficient rail carts in a smaller space, which can be moved dynamically close together and positioned precisely. Compact, inductively powered frequency converters and geared motors inside contribute to the space-saving design.

When Stanley Kubrick brought the monumental science fiction film "2001 - A Space Odyssey" to the big screen in 1968, it was only natural that an artificial intelligence played a leading role: HAL 9000.
