It can be easily reconfigured without interrupting operations, maximizing availability and reducing costs through high efficiency—6 cartons per minute. It also ensures operator safety and easy integration with other systems.
Integration of Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR)
Integration involves incorporating these autonomous devices into logistics and warehouse systems to automate material transport. They are programmed to independently move, collect, transport, and deliver goods, which increases operational efficiency, reduces transportation costs, and optimizes warehouse space.
Packing devices
Packing devices are used in the processes of preparing products for distribution and sale. They perform tasks such as sealing, labeling, filling, and welding packages, which increases efficiency and production speed. These devices ensure uniform, perfectly packaged, and labeled products, eliminating human errors and enabling precise measurement and data analysis, contributing to process optimization and waste reduction.
Warehouse transport trolleys
They are specialized devices for moving materials, goods, and products in warehouses and production halls. Designed for the efficient transport of pallets, boxes, containers, and other logistic units, they are often equipped with electric drive, pallet support systems, and safety features, ensuring the quick and safe movement of goods.
Digital transformation of warehouse processes
It is the adaptation of modern digital technologies to streamline and automate logistics operations and warehouse management. It includes the implementation of warehouse management systems (WMS), automation with robots, integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) for inventory monitoring, and data analysis. By adopting these solutions, companies can respond more quickly to changing market conditions and customer needs, enabling better inventory management, shortened order fulfillment times, and improved customer service quality.

Industrial logistics 4.0
What is the cost?
The cost of Intralogistics 4.0 projects depends on several factors, such as the number of functionalities and technologies used in the project. Costs are also determined by the components used, such as the robots themselves or control systems. The degree of customization of the project also affects the price, as projects tailored to specific client needs may require more time and resources. Finally, maintenance and support costs after implementation are a significant aspect, impacting the overall investment value in intralogistics.
Return on investment (ROI) analyses clearly show that implementation costs are quickly recouped through increased operational efficiency and cost reduction brought about by production automation. Additionally, for smaller companies, there are many funding programs available that can significantly help cover the project costs.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Intralogistics 4.0 technologies are scalable and can be tailored to the needs of both large and smaller companies, allowing for process optimization regardless of the size of the enterprise.
Yes, Intralogistics 4.0 systems are designed to be interoperable and can work with various enterprise management systems, ensuring data consistency and smooth integration.
The first steps towards implementing Intralogistics 4.0 begin with a detailed analysis of current logistics processes and the identification of areas for automation and improvement. It is crucial to define objectives such as increasing efficiency, reducing costs, improving safety, or enhancing process accuracy. Next, a deployment plan should be created, which includes an action timeline, resource allocation, and a cost-benefit analysis. Choosing the right technologies and vendors, such as AMR, WMS, AI, or IoT, is essential, and a pilot phase allows for testing and optimizing selected solutions.
After the pilot phase, full implementation of Intralogistics 4.0 systems follows, including training for employees to effectively use the new technologies. It is crucial to monitor and evaluate the implemented solutions, conduct regular reviews, and update systems to maintain their performance and adapt to changing conditions and company needs. Regular reviews and updates are necessary to sustain the long-term efficiency of the systems.
Regular reviews and maintenance are crucial for maintaining system efficiency. Typically, they are conducted every 6-12 months, but the schedule can be adjusted based on specific needs and usage intensity.

AMR (Autonomous Mobile Robots) are equipped with a range of advanced technologies and safety mechanisms to ensure safe operation in industrial environments. Primarily, AMRs utilize advanced sensors such as LIDAR, cameras, and ultrasonic sensors, which enable them to detect and avoid obstacles in real time. This allows them to navigate effectively in dynamically changing surroundings, minimizing the risk of collisions with employees, other robots, and equipment.
Additionally, AMRs are programmed to adhere to specific safety protocols, such as speed limitations in designated zones, automatic stopping when an obstacle is detected, and communication with other systems for coordinated actions. Many AMR models also feature redundant control systems, meaning that if one system fails, another takes over its functions to ensure continuous safe operation. Regular software updates and technical inspections are also crucial for maintaining the highest level of operational safety for AMRs.
AMRs can dynamically adjust their routes to changing environments, while AGVs move along predefined paths and require infrastructure such as magnetic tapes or lines.
