HÖRMANN Intralogistics implements AutoStore® project at cargo-partner near Vienna

HÖRMANN Intralogistics implements AutoStore® project at cargo-partner in Fischamend

Munich/Vienna, July 2025 - Following their order in 2024, HÖRMANN Intralogistics was able to finalize an AutoStore® facility for cargo-partner GmbH as planned. The new storage area was realized on the existing mezzanine in the iLogistics Center Vienna, which was opened in 2018 in ecological timber construction. With this project, cargo-partner is expanding its capacities in spare parts logistics and strengthening its position as a 3PL provider in a dynamic market environment.

The core of the solution is an AutoStore® system, which complements an existing, manual narrow-aisle warehouse. It currently contains 14,680 bins spread over 16 levels in a very small space and can be expanded to up to 21,030 bins if required. Seven robots from the "Red Line" series operate three carousel ports on the upper level and two swing ports with connected BinLift on the first floor. The construction is based on an aluminum grid with a footprint of 15.4 × 22.6 m and a height of 6.5 m.
For cargo-partner, HÖRMANN's own warehouse management system HiLIS was expanded for the first time to include specific functions for contract logistics/ 3PL. These include modular interfaces for client management, optimized order management and additional functions for inventory management and reporting.

Krisztián Haslinger, Project Manager Contract Logistics at cargo-partner, comments:
"With the AutoStore solution and the adapted HiLIS software, we can make our processes more flexible and meet the increasing requirements of our customers even better. The solution strengthens our 3PL expertise and offers high efficiency in a limited space."

The implementation and commissioning were carried out in close coordination with ongoing operations. The system has been in regular operation since June and shows stable throughputs of up to 180 storage and over 500 retrievals per shift.
