Automation in the warehouse

Automating transport processes is in many ways the key to economic success in intralogistics. By using forklifts with intelligent navigation and safety technology, you can increase handling volume, reduce errors and accidents, and free up capacity in the warehouse.

When order volumes increase, warehouse capacity is under pressure or there is a shortage of qualified labor, automation offers greater improvement potential than any other solution.

With smart automation technology, handling time can be reduced and resources used more efficiently. Modern automation solutions, such as Linde’s updated truck range, make it possible to scale from simple warehouse processes to fully integrated material flow. Award-winning intralogistics technology, such as STILL’s IFOY Award-winning systems, also helps reduce damage to people, goods and infrastructure.

We deliver solutions from Linde, Still, Robotize and more, that can be combined with advanced software for complete visibility and control of warehouse flow. Warehouse robots such as AMR enables dynamic and safe goods transport. For more demanding processes, we also offer AGV, and we can automate maintenance with autonomous floor scrubbers.

It is not necessary to go straight to full automation. Many start by automating individual tasks and gradually expanding the system as needed. This way, you can quickly gain benefits and continue developing the solution over time.

Whenever you choose to automate, you can be confident that you are not alone. From choosing the most suitable solution to implementation and ongoing support, we believe personal guidance and reliable service are essential for successful automation of your transport processes. Let us make automation smart from the start. Together.

Automated forklifts have dedicated control systems that plan driving routes, tasks and traffic flow. These systems ensure that the forklifts work safely and efficiently, both alone and alongside manual forklifts.

These control systems can be integrated with the company’s IT systems, such as warehouse management (WMS) and ERP.

The integration ensures that information about goods and tasks flows automatically between the trucks and the systems you already use.

Hesselberg offers several solutions from Linde for control and integration, including:

• Warehouse Manager for planning and monitoring automated forklifts.
• Warehouse Navigator for controlling goods flow and route selection.
• VNA Navigation Interface for precise navigation in very narrow aisle warehouses.

The solutions can be implemented step by step and adapted to existing systems without major infrastructure changes.
