Swisslog secures major orders

As one of the leading global providers of intralogistics automation solutions, Swisslog is making great strides with the SAP EWM warehouse management system alongside its own SynQ software platform. The company recently secured three projects with a combined value of over 17 million euros, and a significant element of these involves SAP EWM integration.

These orders were placed by Festo, an automation technology specialist from Germany; Aquipa, a consumer electronics distributor from Austria; and Bühler, a Swiss technology company. All three cases call for a combination of the AutoStore compact storage system and SAP EWM. This will allow Swisslog to further cement its position as the world’s number-one AutoStore provider. “We are delighted that our development of the standard AutoStore concept with SAP EWM offers real added value for our customers. The orders we have secured will allow us to demonstrate our SAP expertise in the market even further,” explained Dr. Christian Baur, CEO of Swisslog. “This also means we are listening to what our customers want within the software sector and offering greater diversity from the Swisslog range,” added Daniel Hauser, Head of Region Central Europe & Middle East for Swisslog.

Global support with a long-term vision

Festo is commissioning the Swiss intralogistics company to build a new, state-of-the-art logistics hub in Shanghai. The cornerstone of this project is an AutoStore solution integrated by Swisslog for storing and picking Festo products. For Festo, a particularly decisive factor in choosing to collaborate with Swisslog was its reputation as a global partner with strong consultation, implementation and service teams in Europe and China. Furthermore, Festo was also convinced to award the contract to Swisslog because of its AutoStore and SAP EWM expertise.
