This accessibility statement applies to the currently published version of the website https://www.hoermann-intralogistics.com.
 

Status of compliance with requirements

The accessibility requirements are based on the Bavarian Act on Equality, Integration and Participation of Persons with Disabilities (Bayerisches Behindertengleichstellungsgesetz - BayBGG) and the Bavarian Accessible Information Technology Ordinance (BayBITV)

The verification of compliance with the requirements is based on a review carried out in the period from June 1 to June 27, 2025. the compliance check is based on an analysis carried out between 1 and 27 June 2025 using the software tool Accessible Web RAMP.

For the check, all content pages were analyzed by the software tool and the errors were corrected as far as possible. The results are documented in a test report.
 

Formal confirmation of the accessibility of our website

We have the following formal confirmation of the accessibility of our website: Based on WCAG 2.2 at conformance level "AA" according to the report named above. The last review here took place on 05.06.2025.

Incompatibilities

The existing known incompatibilities are listed below:

1. Non-accessible content

1.1 Text alternatives for graphic page elements

• Linked images and graphic buttons sometimes have no text alternative or this is not equivalent.
• Unlinked, information-bearing images and multimedia objects do not always have an equivalent text alternative.

1.2 Semantic structuring and adaptability

• Subheadings are not always marked up using HTML structural elements.
• The labels "Salutation" and "Postcode" in the contact form are not correctly linked to the associated form field.
• In some cases - such as error handling in the contact form - reference is made exclusively to sensory features such as color and positioning. These references are not comprehensible without the perception of sensory characteristics.

1.3 Distinctness

• Fonts and colors are used on the website in elements that do not have sufficient contrast to the respective background.
• To mitigate this incompatibility, a high-contrast switch has been added to the page frame of this website, which improves the distinctiveness of this content.
• The browser zoom is supported by the website, but when using the text zoom or when enlarging fonts, overlays occur. some parts of the page overlap or are cut off.
• In the case of very small displays, e.g. a display width of 320px, individual content on the website is cut off.
• The flyout menu of a menu item in the main navigation only closes when the hover state of the mouse is changed, but it does not close when the keyboard focus is changed.

1.4 Keyboard operation

• The website can only be operated with the keyboard to a limited extent.
• The current keyboard focus is not visible. Some controls such as the jump marker to the top of the page, the scroll function of the teaser slider on the homepage and the entire mobile menu cannot be reached or operated using the keyboard.

1.5 Time limits and moving content

• The teaser slider on the homepage automatically switches between different content. This movement neither stops automatically nor can it be stopped manually.

1.6 Readability

• The website is currently offered in German.
  Non-German words, e.g. technical terms, are not marked.

1.7 Other

• The HTML of the website is not valid.
• PDFs available for download, such as flyers, are not accessible.
• Content is not yet provided in plain language or sign language.

The offers that are currently not fully accessible will be successively adapted accordingly.

2. Disproportionate burden

The exception due to disproportionate burden according to Art. 5 of Directive (EU) 2016/2102 is temporarily invoked here.

• Subtitles for videos have not yet been fully maintained or automatically created in some cases (WCAG success criterion 1.2.2).
• No audio description is provided for videos that require an audio description (WCAG success criterion 1.2.3).
• Integrated, external third-party content, for example videos, podcasts or posts from social media platforms are not fully accessible.

Hoval is one of the leading international companies for heating and indoor climate solutions. In order to meet the enormous demand for heat pumps, they are expanding their production capacities in Slovakia with the highest level of automation

A state-of-the-art automation solution ensures the flow of stock and materials in heat pump production at Hoval's Slovakian site in Istebné. The intelligent combination of two asynchronous storage areas is a stand.-out customization: A pallet high-bay warehouse for large parts and an AutoStore system for small parts. Both systems are brought together at a combined picking workstation and controlled centrally via the HiLIS Warehouse Management System (WMS) - for seamless, consistent and efficient intralogistics.

The concept

High-bay warehouse for pallets

The three-aisle high-bay warehouse in silo design is the backbone of the large parts logistics operations. With a length of 115 m, a width of 22 m and a height of 40 m, it offers space for a large number of pallets. It is equipped with three storage and retrieval machines, each with double-deep telescopic forks. A special feature is the use of extra-wide system pallets, which serve as carriers for finished goods.

The pallet conveyor technology connects various functional areas - from incoming goods and central order picking to outgoing goods and dispatch. The maximum throughput rate is around 100 pallets per hour.

AutoStore for small parts

An AutoStore system for small parts logistics was installed in parallel. The compact cube storage system covers around 85 m² and offers space for around 3,000 containers. Storage and retrieval is fully automated using three "Red Line" robots working at three conveyor ports. The system is supplemented by a service platform with overhead crane and electric chain hoist for ergonomic picking workflows.

Objectives and challenges of the project:

• Increasing warehouse capacity to meet growing demand in the heat pump segment
• Connecting two asynchronous warehouse areas in a continuous material flow
• Optimizing order picking through combined workstations
• Reducing manual processes through robotics and conveyor technology
• Central control via the HiLIS Warehouse Management System
• Integration into existing production processes during ongoing operations
