viastore receives order for new logistics center from WLS
New major order for the intralogistics specialist viastore: the company is building a new logistics center in Steinhagen near Bielefeld in Westphalia for the forwarding service provider WLS.
This includes an automated pallet warehouse with around 38,000 storage locations and eight storage and retrieval machines. The equipment also includes automatic pallet recognition in the incoming goods area, extensive conveying, palletizing and packaging technology and an electric overhead conveyor as a central link between all functional areas. The order volume amounts to more than twelve million euros.
WLS acts as a logistics service provider for a well-known door, gate and drive manufacturer as well as the food producer Dr. Oetker, among others. The client relies on an OxyReduct system in the pallet warehouse to ensure maximum safety. This reduces the oxygen content of the air and thus enables a longer storage period. At the same time, it serves as fire protection so that WLS can dispense with a conventional sprinkler system.
The new building is the freight forwarder's response to the increasing volume and quality requirements of its customers. The previous three organically grown WLS locations had reached their capacity limits as a result. The new logistics center will enable the service provider to sustainably increase its delivery performance and reliability. Completion is planned for August 2022.
