With more than 25 years of specialisation in the grocery sector, TGW Logistics is one of Europe’s leading intralogistics specialists, known especially for its expertise in freezer environments. Its solutions cover all temperature zones, from dry goods to fresh and frozen foods, and enable automated handling of pallets, roll cages, and thermocontainers.
“We are in constant contact with our customers. Intensive communication and the ideas that arise from it help us to stay on the cutting edge,” explains Michael Schedlbauer, Vice President of Business Development Grocery at TGW Logistics.
TGW Logistics builds on technologies developed in-house: At the heart of TGW Logistic’s offering is a modular system built on in-house technologies: high-speed palletisers handling over 700 units per hour, flexible depalletising systems, dynamic shuttle warehouses, and precise sequencing that streamline palletising and downstream processes.
Intelligent software platform WERX
The company’s WERX software platform is the real powerhouse behind this hardware. Developed by a team of over 700 specialists, WERX controls, optimises, and visualises material flows. Its smart palletising algorithms ensure maximum packing density and stability, while constant testing and development refine performance.
Artificial intelligence further enhances efficiency. For depalletising, camera-based, self-learning systems analyse and adapt to patterns, cutting manual intervention by up to 30 percent and boosting overall throughput. On the palletising side, an intelligent multi-layer approach dynamically adjusts packing plans in real-time. For example, a leading U.S. food service provider has already used this capability to reduce unloading times at delivery points — speeding up supply chains and strengthening competitiveness.
Security as integral feature
In the face of rising regulatory requirements, e.g. as a result of the NIS2 Directive, as well as the significance of intralogistics as part of critical infrastructure (KRITIS), TGW Logistics is setting high standards in terms of security, availability and data protection – both for customers and for its own system landscape.
Expansion to split case picking: one system, two worlds
With the growth of online business, the requirements associated with picking single items for end customer orders (split case picking) are also on the rise. TGW Logistics has developed solutions just for this situation and has already implemented them at multiple customer sites designed especially for e-commerce. They make it possible to handle over 20,000 units per hour and are suited for delivering to end customers directly or for supplying stores with small lot sizes.
Moreover, TGW Logistics offers integrated systems that seamlessly combine full case and split case picking, allowing the same system to handle both fast-moving and slow-moving items.
This integration offers maximum flexibility in the face of changing business models, e.g. in the case of seasonal transitions, changes to the product range, or increasing affiliation with convenience stores.
Brownfield competence
TGW Logistics also brings significant expertise in brownfield projects — modernising or expanding existing sites without halting operations. Its modular approach means new units can be inserted flexibly into live environments, minimising disruption and maximising ROI.
“We build on decades of experience in integration, software, warehouse and robotics,” says Peter Ehrenhuber, Director of Grocery Retail at TGW Logistics. “From planning to operation, our customers can count on us for reliable, high-performance systems that keep their supply chains moving.”
