Efficient packing: B.E.G. works with AutoStore
Anyone travelling through the Klause industrial estate in Lindlar can hardly miss the warehouse of B.E.G. Brück Electronic GmbH. Today, the warehouse covers the area of a football field, of which the newest 2,000 sqm were only expanded in 2020 for the company's anniversary. More than 2 million products leave the halls of the electrical engineering company every year and are shipped to customers worldwide.
Effectiveness plays an essential role in the logistics sector, because only those companies managing to meet the high customer demands and work economically that optimise their logistics process in the best possible way, control it efficiently, and eliminate sources of error will win. One system that offers support is the AutoStore.
Automatic order compilation
The semi-automatic storage system, which was only introduced in 2020, moved into the B.E.G. hall and has been supporting the entire logistics process ever since. There are a total of 5,000 container storage spaces, stacked next to and on top of each other. These are automatically made available by the merchandise management system to the dispatch staff on an order-related basis for the compilation of the order.
Especially in recent years, the order volume has increased steadily. Therefore, it was a matter of course for us to support our employees in the best possible way and to support them by installing the AutoStore. However, they still play the decisive role when it comes to customer-friendly packaging. Every day, they label and ship around 250 parcels, which are packed with the help of the AutoStore.
We are proud to be able to offer our customers even faster delivery through the use of the semi-automated warehouse system and are excited to see how logistics centres of the future will develop.
