In the past, we successfully built storage systems and automated warehouse processes. We are still doing this today, but something has changed. Therefore, our knowledge about the technology and the processes helps us even more today. Because we develop end-to-end solutions across the entire supply chain for our customers around the globe. The logistics center has meanwhile become the hub of our customer's business. Our experienced employees have the process and machine understanding, and the technical competence in mechanics, PLC, and IT.
Furthermore, we know our customers’ markets. We design, realize, and operate logistics centers economically successfully with our OnSite teams and integrate the logistics solution into the customer’s ecosystem (end-to-end). WITRON is a system integrator, operator, and logistics service provider for our customers, to whom we promise a delivery service. We keep this promise, also thanks to our employees. Together with our customers, we develop systems and processes that convince in economic and ecologic aspects. This is what pioneering logistics in the 21st century looks like.
“We are logistics service providers - not in the classic sense, but we design warehouses and complete value-added supply chains. The logistics center coordinates the material flow, which is why new tasks are coming our way with new technology”, explains Helmut Prieschenk, CEO of WITRON. He and his team want to continuously optimize the machines, but the much greater efficiency gains are achieved between transportation, the logistics center, and the end customer.
“We can get goods ready in the warehouse very quickly, but that doesn’t benefit the customer if the trailer is not yet at the loading dock. That makes no sense economically and ecologically. Intelligence in the processes will save money, increase flexibility, and help us run our processes more sustainably. Based on the above-mentioned example, we do not have to run the system at maximum capacity, but can work in an energy-saving manner”, says Prieschenk. You will find out in the podcast how this is going to work.
