Shuttle technology and integration expertise: Jungheinrich and Movu Robotics agree strategic partnership
In a strategic partnership, Jungheinrich and Movu Robotics combine Movu’s four-way shuttles with Jungheinrich’s consulting, integration, software and service expertise. Customers thus gain high-density pallet warehouses and a seamless material flow from a single source.
- Jungheinrich and Movu Robotics combine proven shuttle system technology and integration expertise
- Partnership for pallet shuttle warehouses that are planned faster, integrated more easily and operated more efficiently
- Mutual preference: Jungheinrich as preferred integrator, Movu as preferred supplier
- Customers benefit from WMS integration, standardised interfaces, joint solution designs and coordinated service offerings
Hamburg – Jungheinrich and Movu Robotics have agreed a strategic partnership. Moving forward, Jungheinrich will be preferred integrator for Movu’s shuttle systems, while Movu becomes preferred supplier for Jungheinrich. The aim is to jointly realise highly automated pallet warehouse solutions for customers even faster and more efficiently.
Rising space costs, complex brownfield situations and the need for greater storage density are driving demand for automated pallet warehouses. Four-way shuttle systems such as the Movu Atlas store and retrieve pallets multi-deep, making them one of the most sought-after technologies for high-density warehouses.
From shuttle technology to an integrated complete solution
The partnership makes shuttle warehouses faster to plan, easier to integrate and more efficient to operate. To this end, the two companies integrate the four-way shuttles directly into the Jungheinrich WMS and software ecosystem, which centrally manages inventory and optimises storage and retrieval. Standardised software interfaces shorten commissioning and connection to existing systems, while joint solution design deepens and speeds up quotation. Coordinated service processes also ensure reliable operation throughout the entire life cycle.
Connected processes from goods-in to dispatch
Customers benefit from a seamless automated material flow, from goods-in through the shuttle warehouse to dispatch. Shuttle systems, conveyor technology and mobile robots are orchestrated through an integrated Jungheinrich software stack providing full visibility, reduced complexity and a scalable foundation for future growth.
Movu shuttle systems are already trusted by 200+ warehouses and in use in numerous Jungheinrich customer projects across Europe and North America. At Coppenrath & Wiese, for example, an automated warehouse for packaging materials is currently being built, bringing previously decentralised storage capacities together in a single central facility. At Mascot online in Almere, the Netherlands, an automated pallet warehouse with around 11,500 pallet locations is under construction. Ten Movu four-way shuttles ensure high storage density and fast provision of products there. The warehouse supports the growth of a rapidly expanding retail company and forms the first stage of a multi-phase expansion of its logistics processes.
“Four-way shuttle systems increasingly combine high-density storage with other functionalities like replenishing picking processes and sequencing goods for dispatch just in time, all within the same footprint,” said Noë van Bergen, CSO of Movu Robotics. “With this strategic partnership, we combine Movu’s innovative shuttle technology, its racking manufacturing capabilities as part of stow Group, and Jungheinrich’s integration, software and service expertise. Together, we make high-density automated warehousing easier to implement, more flexible to design and more scalable for future growth. End-users benefit from Jungheinrich’s comprehensive solution portfolio, from manual to fully automated solutions that grow with their requirements.”
The two companies will align solution design, interfaces and service processes even more closely. In doing so, Jungheinrich strengthens its position as a global system integrator that combines warehouse automation, software and service into an overall system that grows with its customers’ requirements.
