BEUMER, a global leader in automated material handling systems, is at the forefront of developing cutting-edge solutions to support the transition to ‘lights out’ warehouse operations. Highlighted innovations at this year’s exhibition include the BG Pouch System, the BEUMER Flow Software Suite, and 24/7 remote monitoring via the new BEUMER Customer Diagnostic Center.
Gregor Baumeister, Director of Warehousing & Distribution Logistic Systems at BEUMER Group, emphasized the evolving landscape of warehousing operations, driven by increasing demands for on-demand delivery and supported by advancements in automation, AI, and data analytics. BEUMER Group envisions the future of warehousing and distribution, envisioning efficient omnichannel distribution facilitated by automated facilities. By offering comprehensive automated handling solutions and diagnostic services, BEUMER Group aims to streamline operations and provide end-to-end support for warehouse operators and logistics managers.
Looking ahead to 2035, BEUMER imagines a future where automation and robotics play a central role in warehouse operations, enabling humans to focus on higher-value tasks. Robots handle complex handling tasks, such as sorting and order fulfillment, with speed and accuracy. The BG Pouch System, capable of processing over 10,000 items per hour, streamlines order fulfillment processes, accommodating various types of items and minimizing handling time. Additionally, sustainable packing materials are used to ensure environmentally friendly packaging solutions.
The Dispatch Cross-Belt Sorter ensures efficient sorting and distribution of packaged goods, while automated guided vehicles (AGVs) handle shipping container loading for e-commerce orders. Baumeister concludes by highlighting the current availability of robotics and sorting technologies, along with advancements in software and diagnostics, which are already driving efficiency gains in warehouse operations. The vision of the dark warehouse, where physical labor is minimized, may become a reality sooner than anticipated.
