Automated high-bay warehouse with 30,000 storage locations, order picking buffer with electric overhead conveyors, automatic conveyor and lifting technology and auto-store system for compact items, SAP S4 with EWM Warehouse Management, automatic storage of C-parts. What reads like something from a catalogue of modern intralogistics are just some of the elements of DAW SE's new logistics centre in Ober-Ramstadt. In June 2024, students on the Logistics Management, Industrial Engineering and Business Administration degree programmes had the opportunity to take a look at these technical highlights on site.

Florian Schallmayer-Kärtner, Head of Supply Chain Technology & Projects, guided the participants in two groups through the entire logistics areas, presenting the processes and the latest technical systems in detail. The new logistics centre was completed almost two years ago, in parallel with ongoing logistics operations. The participants were given their first impressions of the complexity and dependencies of automated logistics systems.

"Many projects are in the middle of the hot phase. We were all the more delighted that Florian Schallmayer-Kärtner and his colleagues took the time to make this visit possible. That's not a matter of course", said Prof Monika Futschik and Prof Johanna Bucerius
