Automotive & Agricultural Machinery

Logistics

This branch of the industry cooperates with a global production network. A correspondingly large number of suppliers and subsuppliers must supply parts quickly, safely, cost-efficiently and environmentally compatibly to the production site just in time. 90% of the reusable carriers used in production, storage and transport are standardized. They are essential parts of logistics and must be available just in time, just as the parts inside them.

Carriers

The most frequently used container in this industry is the VDA small load carrier. It is specifically designed for the logistics processes in the automotive industry. Containers for small load carriers can additionally be supplemented with customized foam inserts, interim layers and lids so that all parts will reach their destinations cleanly and perfectly secured. In reality, the product range will never fit in small load carriers entirely, so that special packaging is used as well.

Furthermore, many different large load carriers are used for large parts. In contrast to the VDA small load carriers, there are no consistent standard containers for this.

Product range

The product range is very diverse and covers anything from parts or entire assemblies such as injection molding and punched parts, turned and precision parts, to sensitive electronic parts. The diversity of products and their different demands to carriers often make carrier standardization difficult. However, as our experience shows, it is not impossible.

PHARMACEUTICS & COSMETICS

Logistics

Sensitive handling and utmost reliability are vital in the distribution of pharmaceutical and health care products.
Goods must be made according to the principle of GMP (“Good Manufacturing Practice”) and distributed according to the principle of GDP (“Good Distribution Practice”), posing great challenges to logisticians. The temperature must be kept within precise bounds and documented. This requires actively temperature-controlled transport that is particularly expensive in the range of +2 to +8 °Celsius.

Carriers

The pharmaceutical industry knows no standard packaging. Although there is a trend towards reusable container, many goods are still shipped in cardboard boxes. The changing trend is in particular due to transport damage, handling and repacking processes and an attempt to avoid waste. Volume-reducible containers are usually used in the reusable area, since the capacity of the delivery vehicles, as well as the storage capacity in pharmacies, is limited.

Product range

The product range is divided into two requirements profiles for storage and transport: +2 to +8 °Celsius and +15 to +25 °Celsius. Keep in mind that these may be liquid or solid, cheap or extremely expensive products. The sales packaging must never therefore be damaged in transport. Damaged transport packaging is often reason enough for the recipient to file a complaint, which makes transport damage a subject that affects everyone involved.

Retail (Non-food)

Logistics

Availability and area-comprehensive distribution of goods is the most important criterion in non-food retail. The large product range, sometimes severe seasonal fluctuation and additional campaign business pose immense challenges to logistics processes. Picking processes must be quick and repacking is absolutely out of the question. Therefore, mature packaging solutions for supplier and branch logistics are an essential factor for success.

Carriers

Return processes are our future. While many product segments still use a lot of cardboard transport packaging, it is increasingly replaced by reusable carriers. Euro pallets are also giving way to plastic pallets and trolleys have become firmly established in branch supply.

Product Range

The range width and depth varies strongly but may comprise more than 200,000 items even in the non-food area. The diverse and different sizes and properties of the products pose very different requirements for packaging. Usually, the outer packaging of the products is already adjusted to the transport packaging, permitting mostly standardized transport packaging.
