The fully automated warehouse expands capacity and optimizes production processes through more efficient material flows and greater flexibility.
Technical challenges and solutions
A central element of the new HBW is the silo design for maximum space utilization. Two two-mast storage and retrieval machines (SRMs) transport the stacks of unstrapped corrugated board weighing up to 3,000 kg. Special travel curves minimize vibration and ensure safe transport.
The conveyor technology from HÖRMANN Klatt Conveyors ensures gentle goods movement. Wide plastic modular belts enable smooth transfer of the load units. A special shelf sprinkler system meets the high fire protection requirements. The warehouse is controlled by the HiLIS Warehouse Control System developed in-house, which controls warehouse management and material flow. In addition, HiLIS control technology and system visualization modules are used for transparent process control.
Customer requirements and implementation
Dunapack Packaging, part of the Prinzhorn Group, is one of the leading corrugated cardboard packaging providers in Central and Eastern Europe. With over 6,000 employees at 24 locations, the company produces sustainable packaging solutions from recycled paper. The aim of the new warehouse is to decouple process steps, increase productivity and improve occupational safety. The planned incoming goods capacity is 40 and outgoing goods capacity 65 load units per hour.
Christoph Ludorff, Operations Manager at Dunapack Packaging Straßwalchen, explains: "This project will significantly strengthen our production and logistics infrastructure. HÖRMANN Intralogistics impressed us with their comprehensive expertise in the corrugated board industry and the complete package of warehouse construction, conveyor technology and software. This allows us to optimize our productivity, make processes more flexible and significantly increase occupational safety."
Collaboration within the HÖRMANN Group
The project is being implemented by two units of HÖRMANN Intralogistics: HÖRMANN Klatt Conveyors is supplying the conveyor technology, while HÖRMANN Intralogistics Solutions is developing the control technology and software modules. HÖRMANN Intralogistics Solutions is also responsible for the rack steel construction and the roof and wall cladding. The close cooperation ensures seamless integration of the components and an efficient project process. Completion and commissioning of the high-bay warehouse are planned for the coming year. This future-proof, fully automated warehouse solution paves the way for optimized and sustainable production.
