?Sport-Tiedje Ek Robotics

Germany-based retail company Sport-Tiedje is automating its new logistics centre with driverless transport systems from Ek Robotics.

The previous central warehouse in Büdelsdorf reached its capacity limits. The new warehouse has more than 51,000 m² of space and offers room for order picking, storage and handling of goods.

In Osterrönfeld near Rendsburg, nine transport robots from the Vario Move series and four automated VNA Move narrow-aisle forklift trucks will help optimise the home fitness expert's transport and warehouse processes.

The nine models from the Vario Move L series are responsible for linking incoming goods, order picking and outgoing goods. The high-bay warehouse will also be operated automatically in future and will contribute to an efficient material flow between the areas.

The four automated narrow-aisle stackers will store and retrieve pallets in the high-bay warehouse with 30 aisles and a length of 80 m each.

Christian Grau, managing director at Sport-Tiedje, said: "The AGV from ek robotics will support the staff on site and significantly improve processes in the central warehouse.”
