Storage solutions – SSI Schaefer

As a provider of intralogistics solutions SSI Schaefer enjoys deep insight into almost all fields of business. Logistics figures do not lie; they reveal the current economic climate. Rising cost pressures call for ever faster throughputs, optimised flows of goods and lower inventories, not to mention stable, reliable processes and zero errors. Moreover, e-commerce is more prevalent and we expect to see further far-reaching structural changes to distribution processes.

Spotlight on globalisation

SSI Schaefer develops innovative products and intralogistics systems at a range of international sites primarily in Europe. Like us, many of our customers are global players. Navigating our way through different customs and needs is part of our day to day work. This includes tailoring our solutions to meet local requirements.

Spotlight on technology

In the last three to four decades our industry has experienced a shift away from manual warehouses towards fully-automated distribution centres. High performance storage and picking machines, robotic applications and product visualisation and recognition systems now dominate intralogistics, turning it into a high-tech sector.

Our customers want the fastest ROI possible which means systems need to run around the clock. To ensure maximum availability, warehouse employees are evolving into service engineers making this line of work even more appealing.

Spotlight on information technology

The increasing complex processes of a distribution centre call for reliable process management. It is a myth that you can create one standard software product for everyone. The real focus is on developing a flexible, suitable program that requires as little modification as possible and supports new releases. SSI Schaefer delivers customised logistics software for every requirement – based on WAMAS and SAP EWM. In total we employ around 700 software specialists across the group.
