Intralogistics industry solutions experienced live at psb

In his speech, Lutz Korten, Logistics Director at Hager Group, gave (intra)logistics insights all around the restructured logistics center of the company in Blieskastel, Germany.

»With the expert conferences, psb wants to establish a platform for an in-depth dialog«, Volker Welsch, Sales Manager at psb, described the focus of this event. The presentations introduced, for example, the interaction of the psb order picking module rotapick with the warehousing module vario.sprinter.

The psb Research & Development engineers got it right: There is a lot of talk about high-performance picking; however, planning reliability is only provided by the simulation of the individual project parameters. Just in view of the production and distribution times getting shorter all the time, in the market for electronics and electric goods, this system solution, which has already been successfully tested in e-commerce, deserves to be called »forward-looking«.

After a tour through the factory, with live presentations of intralogistics systems, the guest speech by Lutz Korten, Logistics Director at Hager, leading international supplier of solutions and services for electrotechnical installations, offered a high practical insight. »Sustainability plays a major role in the corporate transactions of Hager Group – and this also includes in-house logistics«, Lutz Korten began his
presentation, and he continued: »In the new building at the company premises in Blieskastel, different delivery concepts, with direct (key) customer supply or traditional store replenishment were taken into account. In retrospect, we can say that it was the right decision to think through every alternative. Today, we are able to manage picks in a five-digit range – with a high degree of flexibility, reliability, and in multi-shift operations – without significant differences, whether the flow of goods takes place from the goods-in area to the high bay, pallet or small parts warehouse, or whether the goods are directly routed to the dispatch area.«

The 20 participants of the Conference on Electrics were impressed by the broad range of intralogistics solutions developed by psb. They took the opportunity to have “lively” professional discussions and to exchange experiences.

Werner Klein, Managing Director of psb: »We are very glad that the Conference on Electrics offered the perfect platform for our guests to have a professional dialog. This is an affirmation for us to continue these conferences focussing on specific industrial sectors, in order to provide an intralogistics communication platform.«

For 2011, further events of this kind are planned.
