MODERNIZATION AND SERVICE

Optimize Existing Warehouses and Facilities

Modernizing the Inventory Warehouse

Modernization and Retrofit

If you operate a forklift-based warehouse, 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 usable to the greatest extent possible, and installation can be carried out in phases while operations continue. With a DAMBACH retrofit, you’ll 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. An assessment is conducted to evaluate existing control systems and inspect mechanical components. In collaboration with the customer, comprehensive retrofit concepts are developed to optimize warehouse operations—ensuring they are future-proof and cost-effective.

Automation of the Inventory Warehouse

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

No new construction is necessary. LOGI-KIT automates existing buildings with ceiling heights of up to 14 m cost-effectively and, in some cases, without interrupting operations. Depending on the configuration, the existing racking can even be reused.

Modernization and Retrofit

We are happy to assist with the modernization of existing warehousing and material handling systems. We’ll help you bring your existing high-bay warehouse up to the current state of the art. In consultation with you, we’ll 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-feeding units
  • Implementation of new material flow control systems and warehouse management software
  • Implementation of current safety regulations
  • Modification of racking systems or workstations

Automation of Existing Warehouses

LOGI-KIT

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

Warehouse Automation Instead of New Construction

Your inventory warehouse can do more

Whether you’re looking to fundamentally automate your existing warehouse using LOGI-KIT or retrofit your existing high-bay warehouse—together, we’ll determine the most cost-effective and suitable solution for you, taking all factors into account.

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 permitted 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.
