Automated intralogistics solutions – a wide range of benefits
For storage and material flow within companies, automated intralogistics solutions offer significantly higher performance and efficiency than manual warehouses with manual processes. An automated high-bay warehouse also provides considerably greater capacity while requiring less floor space.
Faster processes with shorter delivery times and an increase in the number of orders handled per day are further benefits of automation. Higher throughput speeds allow inventory levels to be reduced, which in turn lowers the amount of capital tied up in stock. By increasing the efficiency of a company’s intralogistics processes, substantial cost savings can be achieved.
Distribution costs can also be reduced by lowering the error rate. This not only improves delivery quality but ultimately also increases customer satisfaction. Better inventory visibility and control also make sales planning easier.
Automated intralogistics solutions, combined with appropriately adapted business processes, can therefore create clear competitive advantages that may have a direct positive impact on a company’s success.
Independent of company size
Small and medium-sized companies benefit from the competitive advantages of an automated intralogistics solution and the associated process optimisation just as much as large companies do. This is because the parameters that are crucial to business success are always the same: throughput times, process costs, processing speed and processing quality.
SMEs often reach a size sooner than expected at which automating their intralogistics becomes worthwhile or even necessary in order to remain competitive. This may depend on the level of turnover, the breadth of the product range or a combination of both.
Automated intralogistics solutions are highly diverse, both in terms of the systems used and the overall scope of the solution. This can range from warehouses with just a few thousand storage locations to several hundred thousand, from a simple picking workstation to a high-performance system or robotic picking, and from a few conveyor elements to conveyor systems extending over several kilometres.
Tailor-made and future-proof overall concepts
The key factors for a successful automated intralogistics solution, regardless of its size, are precise adaptation to the individual customer project, high system quality, well-designed concepts and the ability to adapt easily to constantly changing market requirements.
Every automated intralogistics solution consists of a wide range of different functional areas: goods receipt, storage, picking, packing and shipping, supplemented by returns management where required. psb coordinates all intralogistics functions precisely with one another and, just like the warehouse itself, designs them to meet the specific requirements of your company.
Alongside performance and capacity, flexibility and scalability are the most important planning tools for addressing the risks associated with long investment periods, uncertain business development and volatile market conditions. As a general principle, we take flexible expansion options into account from the initial planning stage. These can range from an additional workstation to phased expansion concepts involving the coordinated extension of the entire system.
