The new automated high bay warehouse consists of a conveyor system and four double-deep Vectura stacker cranes that automatically store and retrieve pallets.

The cranes serve over 17,000 pallet locations on a footprint of only 4,500 square meters.

The hardware is also supported by SynQ warehouse management software from Swisslog.
