Automation in logistics

Production supply and disposal / empty pallet transport

Lean production begins with the supply of raw materials for processing. Smooth supply ensures that production does not come to a standstill. These processes are usually also a good starting point for automation.

Our solution:

• Our autonomous mobile robots (AMR) are the smart solution for optimised horizontal material flow. Also for moving pallets when working with a transfer station.
• The automated all-rounder STILL EXV iGo high lift pallet truck ensures highly efficient logistics processes – as a stand-alone solution or in mixed operation with manual trucks. The truck picks up pallets directly from the floor without any additional hardware.

Storage and retrieval (high bay)

High bay racking with very narrow aisles is one of the most effective ways of organising a warehouse in terms of volume utilisation. Typically, they involve repetitive handling tasks with standardised transfer stations and homogeneous load carriers.

Our solution:
The automated STILL MX-X iGo very narrow aisle truck is the ideal partner for warehouses with a particularly high level of space utilisation. It can also be combined with a STILL EXV iGo high lift pallet truck or an autonomous mobile robot (AMR) to handle goods from the transfer stations.

Storage and retrieval (wide aisle or block storage)

You have to handle palletised goods in wide aisle racking or block storage. These are most commonly used due to their high throughput speed.

Our solution:
The fully automated STILL FM-X iGo reach trucks or STILL EXV iGo high lift pallet truck are ideal for long distance transport or for storing and retrieving goods at high heights. They help you increase capacity or enable a 24/7 production.

Order picking

You may be fulfilling a customer order, handling multiple shipments of spare parts, or replenishing your production with new raw materials. Bulky, compressible and fragile items often still need to be picked manually. An autonomous order picker - in combination with pick-by-voice - can increase picking rates by following and positioning itself optimally for the operator.

Our solution:
The OPX iGo neo autonomous order picker follows operators wherever they go, effectively reducing their workload. Thanks to the intelligent analysis performed by its sensors, it also accurately and proactively detects its surroundings, obstacles and distances.
