Technical Logistics

Technical logistics deals with all technical aids and sorts of equipment to support logistics processes.   A distinction is generally made between static and dynamic technology, of which the latter commonly has a shorter service life of possibly between 15 and 20 years, based on the type of use and maintenance.


Retrofitting/Modernisation

Plant modernisation should be considered well in advance to guarantee plant availability, maintain the logistics system, ensure protection for your investment and, at the same time, comply with environmental requirements. In this respect we offer in-depth knowledge and expertise as well as comprehensive advice.

► The following factors suggest the modernisation of an existing logistics system:

  • Protection for your investment
  • New market requirements and customer needs
  • New warehouse technologies and warehouse process optimisation
  • Guaranteed spare parts supply
  • Reduced failure susceptibility – improved system availability
  • Reduced maintenance and operating costs
  • Improved system performance
  • Reduced resource requirements
  • Reduced environmental impact

Investment Advice

Plant modernisation entails costs and risks, which are to be considered carefully:

We gladly provide assistance with the evaluation and selection of suppliers. Together with you, we analyse the current situation, work out the target situation and create an individual requirement profile for your plant modernisation. Besides we will thoroughly check all quotes for completeness, feasibility and cost-effectiveness to ensure efficient and smooth completion of the modernisation project.


Plan Modernisation During Operation

Shutting down a logistics facility for the period of modernisation is impossible for the system operator in most cases. We can help you develop practical approaches for undertaking plant modernisation during operation to keep operational disruption and project risks to a minimum.


Automation

There is an unknown automation potential in many companies, which continues to increase due to progress in technical development. Improvements can be made in throughput time, throughput volume and delivery readiness through the use of automated components so that, at the same time, the responsiveness of the entire logistics system improves. Damage and losses can also be reduced depending on the structure of goods.

By setting up a consultancy retainer between InterLog Management and your company, we will be able to highlight any automation potentials and create simulations or forecasts about the efficiency of your logistics system by use of automated components. In case you opt for automation, we will be glad to provide assistance with the entire implementation from the development of the concept to its acceptance in day-to-day operations.
