High-bay warehouse extension at Schumacher Packaging in Greven
As an owner-managed, Europe-wide specialist for packaging made of corrugated and solid board, Schumacher Packaging offers an extremely wide range of sizes, printing techniques and finishes. Through newly established production facilities and the acquisition of existing plants, Schumacher Packaging has grown continuously in recent years. At the plant at AirportPark FMO in Greven, North Rhine-Westphalia, which only opened in 2014, the packaging specialist is now doubling its production and storage capacities. HÖRMANN Logistik has now expanded the existing high-bay warehouse with a two-aisle channel warehouse.
Concept
With the expansion of the automated high-bay warehouse, the existing storage capacity of the existing two-aisle channel warehouse has been more than doubled. In addition, the storage and retrieval capacity was massively increased. The two high-bay warehouses are used both to dispose of the production, which is operated around the clock, and to prepare the goods for dispatch. For high storage and retrieval performance, the stacker cranes can accommodate two pallets simultaneously for storage and retrieval. To ensure perfectly coordinated operation of the two high-bay warehouses and to improve serviceability, the warehouse management software and AS/RS controls installed by the previous supplier were replaced by the HÖRMANN Logistik Warehouse Management System HiLIS.
In addition to the high-bay warehouse, HÖRMANN Logistik supplied the entire conveyor technology for connecting the new high-bay warehouse and for the new shipping provision. The expansion was carried out in several construction stages during ongoing operations and without any interruptions to operations.
Highlights
The scope of supply of HÖRMANN Logistik includes steel racking construction, stacker cranes, conveyor technology, control technology as well as the WMS HiLIS.
