Flexible automation: Step by step to more efficiency in warehouses and production

Article

Published on 30.03.2026

The demands placed on modern storage and production systems are steadily increasing. Increased material diversity, shorter delivery times, a shortage of skilled workers and growing cost pressure are creating new challenges for companies. At the same time, processes, plant structures and investment strategies differ considerably - a solution must therefore be individually and economically sensible.

Fully automated intralogistics systems for new buildings are usually standard for large production and trading companies. We ensure that such investments pay off quickly and bring significant efficiency and performance gains. For many medium-sized manufacturing companies, however, warehouses and connected processes account for only a comparatively small part of the value added. This is where Fehr comes in:

Step by step to more efficiency in warehousing and production

Our solutions optimize individual storage processes or support production directly. Even small automation systems – such as individual automated picking stations – increase material efficiency and noticeably relieve employees. The step-by-step automation of warehousing and picking processes can speed up operations, make better use of storage capacity, and perform more tasks with fewer staff.

 

Individual solutions start with a precise analysis

Our approach at Fehr always starts with a detailed analysis of the existing warehousing and production processes. Among other things, we look at picking and material inflow to visualize where automation creates real added value. Based on this, we develop tailor-made solutions that:

  • Shorten lead times
  • Relieve employees
  • Stabilize material flows
  • Reduce downtimes
  • and increase process reliability

The advantage:

Existing structures will be maintained and supplemented in a targeted manner.

Automated intralogistics from a single source

We accompany our customers step by step on their journey to automated intralogistics and a digitally controlled supply chain.

Our services range from partially automated optimization of individual processes to modernization of existing warehouses and fully automated new buildings. Modular, fully integrated and from a single source, we ensure that material flows function efficiently, transparently and reliably – from material flow analysis, consulting and project planning to realization, maintenance and service.
