Warehouse automation

Warehouse Automation – for increased efficiency and safety

In the face of modern logistical challenges and growing competition, more and more companies are choosing to automate their warehouses, replacing manual processes with faster, safer, and more efficient solutions. Automation means not only better organization, but also greater speed, accuracy, and operational safety. Automated storage systems allow for ergonomic and safe handling of goods — including heavy items — and can offer a real competitive edge in any modern logistics chain.

Smart, error-free Inventory Control

With the help of warehouse management software, operators can quickly identify the exact location of each product. This system significantly reduces time lost in searches, eliminates data entry errors, and ensures clear and constant stock control.
Detailed traceability becomes a reality, and incoming and outgoing goods are processed quickly, safely, and accurately — even in the most complex logistics structures.

Advantages of automating picking processes

• Digitally managed orders: warehouse software enables automatic and error-free order processing, with transport handled by autonomous, fast, and safe systems.
• Reduced human error: systems like Hänel Pick-to-Light clearly indicate which products need to be picked, significantly reducing mistakes in the order-picking process.

Based on the “goods-to-person” principle, employees no longer need to walk through the warehouse — products are delivered automatically to the workstation. They arrive as pallets, boxes, containers, or packages and can be visually signaled for fast and safe retrieval.

Efficient logistics processes, controlled by software

Logistics activities that once required a lot of time and were prone to errors can now be automated easily and intelligently. Modern systems feature intuitive interfaces that allow for quick order entry, simplify employee tasks, and contribute to increased productivity.

Increased safety for goods and personnel

Automation not only boosts efficiency but also enhances safety in the warehouse. Autonomous transport systems reduce the risk of accidents during goods handling and eliminate hazards associated with manual transport.
Employees work in a safer and more ergonomic environment, with reduced physical effort. At the same time, product damage and return-related costs decrease significantly.

Solutions tailored to each company's needs

Tailored specifically to each company’s internal processes, a wide range of models is available: high-bay automated warehouses, automated small parts warehouses, or pallet warehouses. Hänel provides solutions that can be adapted to the most diverse requirements.
