In this episode, we talk to Thomas Kerkenhoff from EDEKA Rhein-Ruhr Stiftung & Co. KG and WITRON CEO Helmut Prieschenk. It's all about longevity and reliability of the systems. For many years, Thomas Kerkenhoff was responsible for logistics at EDEKA Rhein-Ruhr Stiftung & Co. KG, whose network includes the two highly automated distribution centers in Hamm and Oberhausen - and he is a man of clear words: "In order to operate a system economically successfully in the long term, you have to have a damn good team both at your logistics partner and on site, which is constantly working on the further development of the mechanical components and the software. But that only works if you also have a partner who has already installed a large number of systems in the industry worldwide and thus has extensive experience, expertise and references." Kerkenhoff knows what and who he is talking about. He has been a WITRON customer for more than 15 years. For even more podcasts, articles, videos and topics, visit https://ideenraum.witron.de/

Ho do you orchestrate your intralogistics operations when you have AGVs and AMRs from different vendors, traditional forklifts, conveyor belts and people working side-by-side in your warehouse and production facilities? Our guest today is Wolfgang Hackenberg, one of the founders of Synaos, a startup based in Germany that is building a hardware-agnostic intralogistics management platform. Together with our hosts Boris Felgendreher and Marco Prüglmeier talk about the following topics: - The short version of what Synaos is trying to accomplish with their integrated software platform to manage intralogistics operations - Wolfgang's background in the automotive industry and as a startup founder - The VDA 5050 interface standard and the role the automotive OEMs played in the development - Continuous realt-time optimization: How to calculation 250.000 solutions per second - The typical situation in toady's intralogistics operations with a very heterogenous landscape of hardware - The current and future capabilities of the VDA 5050 standard. How global is the standard and how does it compete internationally? - What criteria buyers should use to evaluate systems like the one Synaos develops - How much of intralogistics will be automated in the future vs. requiring manual intervention? - What the challenges are around integrating manual, analog systems and personnel with automation - Wolfgang's vision for logistics in the future - And much more Helpful links: Our supporters GreyOrange: https://www.greyorange.com/ Synaos: https://www.synaos.com Dr. Wolfgang Hackenberg on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/wolfgang-hackenberg/ Boris Felgendreher on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/borisfelgendreher/ Marco Prüglmeier on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/prueglmeier/
