Warehouse Automation

Winning strategies, already proven in the manufacturing arena, are increasingly being used in warehousing and distribution operations. DHL can offer you a variety of automated systems within its warehouse offering, all of which are designed to bring significant efficiencies to your operations.

For instance, carousels and automated retrieval systems, although involving relatively high investment costs, can deliver higher efficiency and shorter cycles, thanks to their elimination of human endeavor. The most common example of the carousel’s application is in electrical spare parts and kit assemblies.

Both our customers and our operational people are responding very positively towards this new way of working, because the techniques generate real value.
