In the immediate vicinity of Vienna Airport, cargo-partner has expanded its logistics capacities with an AutoStore® system in an innovative timber warehouse. The solution was implemented by HÖRMANN Intralogistics as general contractor and supports flexible and efficient spare parts logistics for an existing international customer - while at the same time expanding the range of services for future contract logistics projects.

The concept

cargo-partner opted for an automation solution that complements the existing, sustainably built iLogistics Center Vienna. An AutoStore® system for storing and picking spare parts was planned on a mezzanine level on the upper floor. The aim was to efficiently manage increasing customer demand and increase flexibility in operations.

The solution in detail

The AutoStore® system was precisely integrated into the existing structure of the timber building. On an area of 15.4 x 22.6 meters, a modular aluminium grid with 16 levels and initially 14,680 containers was created, expandable up to 21,030. The system comprises:

• 7 robots from the Red Line series with associated loading stations
• 3 carousel ports and 2 swing ports with BinLift for connection to the ground floor
• Frames for subsequent expansion of the workstations

The system is controlled by the HiLIS modular warehouse management system from HÖRMANN Intralogistics. This includes modular interfaces for client management, optimized order management and additional functions for inventory management and reporting.

Objectives and challenges of the project:

• The key objectives were the scalability of the solution, maximum space efficiency and smooth integration into the existing logistics system. The structural integration into the existing mezzanine construction and the expansion of the HiLIS system to include project-specific functions for contract logistics were particularly challenging.
• cargo-partner operates the AutoStore® system to supply a long-standing existing customer, but can also use the scalable solution to flexibly handle other projects in the 3PL sector.
