hamburger. Jungheinrich, one of the world's leading providers of intralogistics solutions, is building a new, state-of-the-art logistics center for Dutch technology company Prodrive Technologies. A new building with more than 20.000 square meters of warehouse space is being constructed near Eindhoven and will be fully operational in the autumn of 2022. The core of the warehouse will be a total logistics solution, with 14 autonomous mobile robots (AMR) and 8 EKX 516ka automated narrow-aisle trucks. All trucks are connected to the Jungheinrich WCS via the Jungheinrich logistics interface, which controls the transportation movement within the automation system. By combining AMR in the pre-area as a connecting element with order picking and AGV in the shelf area, Jungheinrich has taken Prodrive's material flow to a new level of automation. Here, arculee will supply and remove pallets from two automatic storage areas, and transport them to the picking station according to the goods-to-person principle, where they are manually picked.

"Through this project of Prodrive, we emphasized our expertise in the field of automation solutions. We are particularly pleased that we can rely on the Arculee S model of our new Jungheinrich family member arculus for mobile robots," Vice President Markus Heinecker The doctor said the President of Jungheinrich Automation Systems AGV. Earlier this month, Jungheinrich announced the acquisition of Munich-based robotics specialist arculus. Jungheinrich specifically expands its automation product portfolio through this innovative start-up, and now offers market-leading technology in the field of autonomous mobile robots. "Due to strong growth, the demand for AMR is increasing, especially in the e-commerce sector. We can now better support our customers in achieving their efficiency and sustainability goals through precise and comprehensive process automation."

For Prodrive, the cooperation in the new warehouse project is a logical step in the long-term customer relationship. Jungheinrich has supported the Dutch company with its intralogistics expertise for many years. Mark Menting, the global process owner of Prodrive Technology, decided to choose Jungheinrich another important criterion is the versatility of the system solution. "Today, the flexibility of the supply chain is the decisive criterion for economic success. For us, this means: we must pick goods faster, more efficiently and error-free. Jungheinrich’s automation concept and its innovative robotic technology and classics The combination of AGV meets all these requirements. It can be further optimized in the future," Menting said.
