We are optimising our warehouse logistics for you – and the development of the new Optibelt logistics centre at the Höxter site is progressing nicely. The central warehouse has been extended to an area of approx. 3,000 m2, whilst the size of the hall is around 2,700 m2. The automatic small parts store is already complete. It has room for over 30,000 storage boxes on eight racks in four aisles. They are served by automatic storage and retrieval machines – with up to 140 loads going in and out an hour. The new narrow-aisle warehouse with around 9,000 pallet bays is also impressive.
An innovation picks up prizes: our innovation, optibelt RBK SCC with service indicator, received an award from a specialist jury at EQUIP AUTO, the leading international trade fair for the automotive aftermarket: the optibelt RBK SCC, a world first, was awarded the “Silver Trophy” in the “Spare Parts & Aftermarket” category. EQUIP AUTO has been one of the most important forums for the French automotive aftermarket for forty years. The awards, which honour outstanding products and developments in four categories and attract media attention, have been handed out since 1985.
The focus of the new logistics centre is on efficiency and on supply processes that conserve resources and are largely automated. Because any solution is only as efficient as the warehouse logistics that accompanies it. And that is precisely why our new warehouse will go fully operational in autumn 2016.
