From test bench maintenance to robotization: Safelog celebrates 30 years
The impetus for the journey into intralogistics was given by founder Michael Wolter with an observation from industrial practice: He recognized how much potential for optimization is hidden in the logistical processes of the automotive industry. A first patent for withdrawal monitoring in picking systems marked the beginning. With the subsequent Pick-by-Light systems, the young company won its first major customers, thus laying the foundation for today's success.
Three Pillars for the Future
The management team, consisting of Michael Wolter, Mathias Behounek, and Michael Reicheicher, is positioning the company on three pillars. Safelog builds its own mobile robots. As an integrator, the company offers complete systems for the shop floor and implements them. At the core is its own software: The "Flow Control" platform controls Safelog robots as well as hardware from other manufacturers.
"Artificial intelligence is not a marketing label for us, but a concrete tool for our software," says Managing Director Mathias Behounek. "We are working on making the configuration and commissioning of our systems noticeably easier with AI. Our goal: to make intralogistics more accessible for companies of all sizes."
Growth Across Borders
After three decades, Safelog is internationally positioned. In addition to the headquarters in Markt Schwaben, there are branches in the Stuttgart area, in Bremen, and in Kecskemét. In the USA, Safelog is represented with a headquarters in Charleston and project locations in Birmingham and Grand Rapids.
"The competition has become more global and faster. No one can win the race against 'Chinese Speed' alone anymore. That's why we rely on partnerships with technology providers, with integrators, and above all with our customers," says Wolter. The goal remains the same: to consistently align technology with the customer process, as an independent, owner-managed company.
