Case Study

The company Heuchemer based in Rhineland-Palatinate knows how packaging works. With around 430 million packages stored and delivered per year, the storage capacity at the logistics centre in Miehlen was exhausted. In cooperation with Still, the expert for customised logistics solutions, a new 18 metre high channel storage with four PalletShuttles and two MX-X order picking stackers was installed in the extension building. The combination of semi-automatic PalletShuttles and order picking stacker trucks in the high rack warehouse is an entirely new system solution for the intralogistics specialists from Hamburg so far. Cost-intensive external storage areas were discontinued and the entire logistics was centralised in Miehlen. With the iGoEasy system from Still, a combination of an automated EGV-S high lift pallet truck and an iPad as configuration and control unit, recurring transports for production retrieval and buffering storage were designed efficiently and flexibly. The automated production vehicle is easy to activate, operate and can be adapted to changing conditions simply using the iPad.
