Swisslog continues light goods technology expansion

“The transport robots complement our light goods technology portfolio in an ideal way. They allow us to offer innovative complete systems for highly dynamic buffer warehouses and modern integrations of picking stations,” Daniel Fink, Head of Swisslog’s Warehouse & Distribution Solutions division, explains the joint venture’s background.

The transport robots, which can be deployed flexibly, have been successfully used in production- as well as intralogistics environments. The joint venture develops and manufactures specific transport robots that will be included in corresponding projects, particularly in high-throughput warehouses for cardboard boxes, totes and trays.

Heron Group, which is based in Dornbirn (Vorarlberg state), has been distinguished with innovation awards on numerous occasions. Swisslog’s MEUR 3.5 equity participation gives it control over 25.1% of Servus Intralogistik’s shares.
