Small on space, big on logistics: System Logistics is reinventing the warehouse

• System Logistics presents a compact warehouse solution for production sites with limited space – featuring 7.5 metre rack height and high storage density.

• A modular design enables fast, automated implementation with minimal structural effort.

The demands placed on today’s warehouses for the food and beverage industry are rapidly changing. While large-scale logistics centres continue to play an important role, there is a growing need for compact, flexible warehouse structures that can be implemented quickly, especially directly at the production site. 

System Logistics is responding to this trend with its compact warehouse, a new, standardised in-house warehousing solution that delivers maximal efficiency on a minimal footprint.

Responding to new needs

The compact warehouse complements the company’s existing portfolio of powerful logistics systems and is designed specifically for those companies that need a can-do warehouse structure but have only limited space. With a rack height of 7.5 meters and a compact build, the system makes optimal use of the space available. The fully standardised warehousing technology enables high storage density and constant throughput rates – with only minimal structural modifications to existing buildings. That not only significantly reduces the investment outlay but also speeds up the planning permission process considerably.

Modular concept for rapid implementation

The system also scores points with a simple, modularised design that can be up and running fast. It operates largely without human intervention and features a reduced level of complexity. As an experienced general contractor, System Logistics handles all aspects of project execution and works closely with partners to ensure an optimal balance between storage density and throughput. 

“This solution is our targeted answer to our customers’ current needs and to the dynamic of our times. Alongside our existing high-bay warehouses, order-picking solutions, automated guided vehicles (AGVs), and software and interface expertise, the compact warehouse is yet another building block for achieving state-of-the-art intralogistics that are both integrated and future-proof,” says Bernhard Reitberger, Managing Director of System Logistics GmbH.
