Kärcher Extends Its Logistics Centre with TGW
(PresseBox) - Kärcher's logistics centre located in Obersontheim, Germany will be extended by end of 2012. Kärcher entrusted TGW with the implementation of the logistics system planned by Miebach Consulting GmbH.
Alfred Kärcher GmbH & Co is the world's market leader for cleaning equipment that sets the benchmark for professional cleaning as well as with consumers. At its Obersontheim site the company operates a logistics centre which required expansion to be able to cope with the constant growth of the business. Kärcher entrusted Miebach Consulting GmbH with the planning and coordination of the extension project including the handling system as well as the material flow control and a visualisation system which will be installed by the Austrian systems integrator TGW from Wels.
Apart from a new pallet storage system, the extended logistics centre will include a 8-aisle automated mini-load warehouse with 95,000 storage locations used to supply a new high-performance picking area. A highly dynamic shuttle system for 5,500 order locations will consolidate and sequence the picked order totes and deliver them to the packing area. In order to handle the required performance of up to 2,000 storage and retrieval movements per hour, TGW will be installing its Stingray shuttle system. An extensive tote conveyor system with intelligent empty tote management will connect the storage and picking areas with the packing area.
The extended system within Kärcher's logistics centre will go live end of 2012 and enable the company to cover further growth of their business in the future.
