Modernization and expansion of storage systems
Your warehouse logistics are central to your business success. The internal movement of goods has enormous potential for improving process efficiency. Sometimes manual and automated warehouses and conveyor lines reach their limits. Often, the old equipment is no longer state of the art. They need to be upgraded to meet current requirements. And to comply with safety standards based on the German Ordinance on Industrial Safety and Health. The components are subjected to heavy wear and tear in daily continuous operation.

There are several reasons why modernizing, retrofitting, or expanding your warehouse and material handling equipment may make sense or even be unavoidable. They increase cost-effectiveness through high predictability. They improve the availability and reliability of warehouse logistics. System performance is increased, and system downtime can be avoided. Warehouse capacity can be expanded. And personal safety is guaranteed. Warehouse logistics comply with all directives and regulations.

Our four types of modernization
The four types of upgrades will affect your facility to varying degrees. A mix may make sense. If necessary, we can also upgrade your warehouse management and material flow control software. We offer everything from component replacements to enhancements that focus on the interface between the old and new systems.
