Continental Novi Sad High-Bay Warehouse: 22,000 storage locations for innovative display systems
State-of-the-art intralogistics for innovative display solutions: HÖRMANN Intralogistics is implementing a highly automated, 9-aisle high-bay warehouse with 22,000 storage locations for digital dashboards at Continental’s facility in Novi Sad. A tailor-made solution that perfectly combines flexibility and efficiency.
The Concept
For the Serbian production site of the German technology company Continental, we developed an innovative warehouse concept that meets the specific requirements of the automotive industry. The system combines the highest level of flexibility in pallet storage with maximum efficiency in material flow—perfectly tailored to the international demand for Continental’s cutting-edge technological solutions for display systems.
Project Goals and Challenges:
- Capacity Expansion: Optimization of warehouse logistics to meet growing international demand
- Size flexibility: Storage of different pallet sizes (Euro and special oversized pallets)
- High performance: Up to 522 putaways and retrievals per hour
- Automation: Efficient, fully automated warehousing during ongoing operations
- Integration: Seamless integration with existing production processes
The Solution in Detail
The 9-aisle high-bay warehouse, built in a silo design, offers double-depth, size-flexible cross-storage across two floors. Nine state-of-the-art storage and retrieval machines ensure precise material flow movements, while two separate electric floor conveyor systems optimize putaway and retrieval. The HiLIS Warehouse Control Software intelligently manages all processes and provides complete transparency across all warehouse areas through system visualization.
