Aesculap AG began in-house planning for a new logistics centre in 2005 in order to maintain and optimise customer supply in the long term. After internal decisions regarding different concepts and locations were made, the approval was given for the planning and realisation of a new logistics centre at the location in Tuttlingen. The scope of the project included not only the fully automated storage of euro containers and the storage of pallets, but also the entire process from receipt of goods to order consolidation and dispatch in terms of conception, implementation and ramp-up. 

Technical parameters:    

51,240 container storing positions, 5 aisles with a total of 9 rack feeders, 1,365 double cycles/hour system performance, 2,300 pallet spaces, 1,500 m conveyor technology over two levels
