The changing requirements arising from a market heavily influenced by online commerce also increase the requirements for a company’s intralogistics. This can only be addressed through efficient processes and a specifically tailored degree of automation. Automating warehouse systems is an important step toward enabling companies to increase the efficiency of their internal material flows and adapt to the demands of the modern market situation. Picking represents one of the most cost-intensive areas of intralogistics. Fully or partially automated solutions can significantly improve and accelerate these procedures. This ultimately results in more efficient company processes, increasing productivity, lower costs along with shorter delivery times. Whether small or mid-sized companies or multinational corporations: these are critical factors for maintaining and strengthening the company’s competitiveness in the age of e-commerce.

As a family-run company, our approach and all of our activities are focused on the long term. This enables us to offer our customers the greatest-possible added value in connection with their investment. Warehouse automation also requires a long-term perspective and, thus, professional and detailed planning. Not only in a financial respect but also given the fact that the company defines the specific container types and articles that are processed in the warehouse for a long period of time. As an intralogistics expert, SSI SCHAEFER has extensive experience in warehouse automation. We advise customers regarding the ideal automation concept for their individual needs and with a view toward the future. Successive partial automation of the warehouse offers mid-sized companies, in particular, the means of keeping up with the incredible pace of many competitors in a globalized world. In the process, they can stabilize, consolidate and safeguard their success over the long term.
