Körber modernizes and expands the logistics of Printus in Offenburg
Körber is the general contractor for automation, mechanics, and software in the ongoing project. As a long-standing partner of Printus, who already modernized the entire shipping area in Offenburg in 2020, Körber relies on a multi-stage concept of new construction and modernization measures. This allows for nearly uninterrupted parallel operation between the existing and new facilities. The retrofit work is carried out during ongoing operations, and the modifications are scheduled in such a way that the availability of logistics is ensured at all times without any restrictions. "Together with Printus, Körber is implementing a powerful, scalable, and future-oriented logistics solution while operations continue without interruption," says Dr. Helena Garriga, a member of the Körber Group Executive Board responsible for the Supply Chain business unit.
Highly Automated Intralogistics for the New Logistics Center
The new automated logistics center will feature a powerful shuttle storage system, workstations for order picking on three levels, and a highly automated packaging area. The sections will be connected by a high-performance conveyor system with a total length of several kilometers. Furthermore, Körber is integrating its own new electric crossbelt sorters (type "Variosort") and modern lifting beam devices from its own portfolio; the conversion of existing equipment in stock is planned. The project was preceded by an intensive, multi-year planning phase. "With Körber's support, we will have one of the most modern and innovative distribution centers in Europe," said Dietmar Mahler, Managing Director of Printus Logistik GmbH.
