Automation in intralogistics

Automating transport processes is in many ways the key to economically successful intralogistics. Wherever increasing order volumes lead to delivery delays, warehouse capacities are stretched to the limit or shortages of skilled labour reduce productivity, automation offers more potential for optimisation than any other solution.

For a successful automated future, you need a partner who not only has extensive experience, but also offers smart solutions and fast, competent after-sales service. STILL can offer you an automation solution for all your crucial processes: from the simple transport of empty pallets to fully automated material flow and interlinked tasks.

Whenever you wish to automate, rest assured that you are not on your own! From selecting the most suitable solution to implementation and ongoing support, we believe that personal advice and reliable service are essential to the successful automation of your transport tasks. Let’s make automation smart from the start. Together.

Automation solutions from STILL

Not every automation solution makes economic sense for your individual requirements. We accompany you as partners in the selection of the appropriate automation level.

Automation with assistance systems Level 1 - Assisted driving

At this level, the driver is supported in his tasks by various intelligent assistance functions on his truck, but remains responsible for navigation in every situation. For example, with individually programmable warnings and situation-related speed adjustments, STILL enables highly safe and fatigue-free work with manual control.

Automated Industrial Trucks Level 2 - Partially Automated Driving

This level of automation includes solutions that enable vehicles to navigate in the warehouse partially on their own using special software or artificial intelligence and sensors. This makes them an intelligent partner for their users. Equipped accordingly, order-picking vehicles can follow their operators wherever they go and narrow-aisle trucks can be moved semi-automatically to the correct pallet position along the optimal path. The driver, however, remains responsible for the actions of his forklift at every step. Semi-automated vehicles in this way relieve the employee and increase both the productivity and the safety of your warehouse.

Automated Guided Vehicles Level 3 - Fully Automated Driving

Self-driving industrial trucks for automating internal logistics are now being used successfully by many industry leaders - and have been proven to significantly increase handling performance. With standardised automation kits, individual STILL series trucks can be automated for different process requirements within a very short time and scaled up to form a fully automated logistics process.

To implement a fully automated supply chain, we complement the iGo systems portfolio with solutions from our group sister DEMATIC, the world's leading supplier of integrated automation technology. This allows you to benefit from the advantages of a perfect interplay between automated STILL series trucks and stationary DEMATIC automation solutions, such as conveyor, distribution and sortation systems, stacker cranes or AutoStore systems.
