MODERNIZATION AND SERVICE

Optimize existing warehouses and facilities

Modernize existing warehouses

Modernization and Retrofit

If you operate a warehouse using forklifts, you don’t have to build a new facility to benefit from modern automation technology. With LOGI-KIT, DAMBACH offers a cost-effective automation solution for existing warehouses. Existing buildings and infrastructure remain largely usable, and installation can be carried out in phases while operations continue. With a DAMBACH retrofit, you get an upgrade for your warehouse: higher performance, maximum availability, and future-proof technology.

Modernization of high-bay warehouses

Retrofit of storage and conveyor systems

Automated high-bay warehouses with a service life of more than 20 years require modernization. Through a comprehensive assessment, existing control systems are evaluated and mechanical components are inspected. Working closely with the customer, we develop comprehensive retrofit concepts for warehouse optimization—solutions that are both future-proof and cost-effective.

Warehouse Automation

From a forklift-operated rack warehouse to an automated storage system

No new construction is required. LOGI-KIT automates existing buildings with ceiling heights of up to 14 meters in a cost-effective manner, and in some cases while operations continue. Depending on the configuration, the existing racking can even be reused.

Modernization and Retrofit

We are happy to assist with the modernization of existing warehouse and material handling systems. We can help you bring your existing high-bay warehouse up to the latest technical standards. In consultation with you, we will replace necessary components and ensure compliance with new regulations. Depending on the scope of the project, we offer the following services:

  • Installation of new conveyor system components
  • Overhaul of existing warehouse equipment, including the replacement of entire rack servicing units
  • Implementation of new material flow control systems and warehouse management software
  • Implementation of current safety regulations
  • Modification of racks or workstations

Automation of existing warehouses

LOGI-KIT

LOGI-KIT is the ideal automation solution for existing buildings. Whether you currently use manual warehouse operations with wide-aisle or narrow-aisle forklifts, retrofitting automation for pallets and small parts ensures your logistics operations are ready for the future. Manufacturers, retailers, and logistics service providers all benefit equally from LOGI-KIT.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions About Modernization and Service 

The use of forklifts is not incompatible with subsequent automation using automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS). Mixed operation with forklifts and AS/RS in separate aisles is also possible. In certain cases, a combination of manual and automated warehouse operations may be the more cost-effective solution. The simultaneous use of forklifts and automated stacker cranes in an area that is not physically separated—e.g., in the same aisle—is not possible due to safety regulations.

Thanks to standardized load carriers (pallets or containers), a wide variety of warehouses—such as production warehouses, shipping warehouses, transshipment warehouses, etc.—can be automated. Cost-effective implementation depends on several factors, such as storage capacity and inventory turnover.
