This will ensure that businesses remain profitable and future-proof, all at the same time.

The 4 principles for theperfectly orchestrated warehouse.

We have four principles to make Industry 4.0 accessible to you.

Content Digitalisierung + Vernetzung

Simplicity

A networked system might be complex. But it shouldn’t be complicated.

To judge from the score, a symphony might look incredibly complex, but the performance radiates simplicity. The same goes for digitalisation and connectivity with Jungheinrich. We put our comprehensive process knowledge, care and a bold sense of pragmatism into simplifying the challenge of Industry 4.0 for you. From design to implementation and day-to-day operation.

Many of our customers find the simplicity of Jungheinrich's solutions to be one of the primary factors motivating them to make the critical jump into a digitally interconnected future, right now. As a leading system partner for complete intralogistics solutions, we firmly believe that the important issue isn't the future vision of Industry 4.0. Instead, the question is how companies, from global players through to small and medium-sized enterprises, can implement smart connectivity for their processes, conduct these processes perfectly, and ensure they remain profitable and future-proof at the same time. Together with a partner they can rely on – one that provides on-going and consistent advice.

Customization

There is no single right solution, just the right solution for you.

Every orchestra is unique – this is also true for warehouses. Our decades of experience and deep insights into the many different realities of warehouses and industries worldwide, means we can accurately assess the demands on your intralogistics system. The basis for our customised IT and automation solutions is not just our view of your warehouse, but your entire value chain and any changes that may be forecast. To ensure that digitally connected machines and processes pay off for businesses of all sizes, we make use of machine platforms and components that have proven themselves in practice and are perfectly customised to suit your requirements. The modular design of our machines and hardware, as well as software solutions, means your intralogistics processes are future-proof and benefit from a maximum degree of flexibility and rapid adaptability.

Automation

Automation is innovation that pays off.

Partly or fully automated conveyors offer huge potential for optimisation in terms of process times and process safety, flexibility and fault reduction. To gain a competitive advantage for your intralogistics processes you will require a process that is perfectly matched to your specific requirements. Especially as smaller and smaller batch sizes have to be moved even faster, and at a lower cost.

However, not every automation solution will automatically pay for itself. The degree of success will depend on the level of automation that's right to achieve your objectives. That's why we start by analysing your individual requirements and ensure that manual, partly automated and fully automated areas in your warehouse work together harmoniously. The critical factor is that your solution can be adapted swiftly and flexibly when required: for example during seasonal peaks, fluctuations in demand, future challenges or to cope with future growth.

Our current automation ensemble ranges from Automated Guided Vehicles and conveyor technology to automatic small parts warehouses and pallet warehouses, to the forward-compatible Warehouse Management System, the Jungheinrich WMS – the 'metronome' that sets the beat. As the main contractor, we provide you with support from the design phase right through to handover of the turnkey plant. We are also there to help with comprehensive professional service and support once the project is complete.

Jungheinrich WMS

The warehouse management system Jungheinrich WMS controls the location, quantity and quality of stored goods. The Jungheinrich WMS effortlessly oversees the entire process. All intralogistics processes from goods receipt to warehousing activities and loading are mapped and planned more efficiently and thus more cost-effectively.

Management processes

From ‘goods in’ to ‘goods out’, the Jungheinrich WMS integrated management processes play a key role within the framework of the warehouse. The Jungheinrich Warehouse Management System ensures that processes are efficient and simple in the long term — and have been consistently adapted to the individual needs of the customer.

Goods in

Goods in a warehouse includes processes such as collection, deconsolidation, quality inspection and actual storage. Maintaining perfect interaction within the framework of the warehouse when collecting goods not only involves the Jungheinrich WMS, but also the necessary hardware components such as handheld scanners, printers, radio terminals or mobile workplaces.

Warehousing

With the Jungheinrich WMS, all components of the warehouse are networked and centrally coordinated, from the racks to the trucks to completely automated systems and connected scales, winders or data radio terminals. As a general contractor, Jungheinrich offers a complete solution including the seamless integration of coordinated functions.

Goods out

The goods out area in the warehouse includes order picking, retrieval, consolidation, packaging and loading. The Jungheinrich WMS offers complete orchestration of all activities and, based on the respective warehouse facility, the “conductor” configures the perfect workflow.

Profitable networking and perfect control of processes

Digitalisation and Connectivity are an everyday phenomenon in many areas of our lives. As an expert in intralogistics, with more than 60 years of experience, we know that digitalisation and connectivity already play an important role in your warehouse. In this context automation will be a key technique. More information on that from Hermann Ammermann, Head of Logistics Systems in our subsidiary Bensheim.
