Sondershausen, Falkenberg, 20.08.2024 // The connection and automation specialist WAGO is expanding its central warehouse in Sondershausen.

After laying the foundation stone in autumn 2023, the building cube is now standing on the 35,000 square meter site, into which the steel structures for the automated shuttle, small parts and replenishment high-bay warehouses will be installed by the second quarter of 2024.

In addition, the diverse robotics solutions for de- and palletizing, order picking as well as carton erectors and sealers also testify to the high degree of automation that IGZ Automation GmbH is implementing as general contractor in Sondershausen in conjunction with full SAP EWM/MFS integration.

The extensive shipping automation completes the zero-touch approach that WAGO pursues, in addition to high sustainability.

Over 200 million euros have been invested in the newly built LogisticCity - the largest investment in the history of Hoffmann SE, which goes back over a hundred years.

The high-performance tool logistics facility with adjoining TechnologyCenter is the Hoffmann Group's global central warehouse.

It is located on a 21.5 hectare site and has a record-breaking floor space of around 100,000 square metres - the equivalent of around 13 football pitches. The centrepiece of the central logistics hub is a shuttle warehouse with around 560,000 storage spaces.

Up to 40,000 consignments can be dispatched daily with maximum delivery quality. The entire intralogistics system is controlled using SAP Extended Warehouse Management (SAP EWM), including the SAP Material Flow System (SAP MFS) and SAP Transportation Management (SAP TM) submodules. The interaction of all functional areas, from goods receipt to dispatch, has resulted in a truly…

SAP IT, control and automated warehouse technology from a single source: IGZ, as the SAP EWM general contractor with overall responsibility, met this requirement and the associated demand for interface and risk minimization "in time, in budget, in quality" when building the new logistics center for BHS Global Logistics.

An excellent new development: Intelligent supply/disposal of workstations with autonomous robots directly controlled with SAP EWM – Move by Robots from IGZ won over the panel.

The solution was awarded the prestigious "German Innovation Award".

The unique SAP-based software platform intervenes more deeply than other systems in the control of all resources and each individual vehicle and achieves maximum efficiency with the help of integrated AI.

HANNOVER MESSE has been the hotspot for industry for more than 70 years.

IGZ was represented as an exhibitor at the world's leading trade fair for industry for the 10th time from April 22 to 26, 2024.

This year, around 4,000 exhibitors presented their solutions for a digital, networked and, above all, sustainable industry and met more than 130,000 visitors from all over the world.

Under this year's guiding theme "Energizing a Sustainable Industry", the organizers deliberately focused on the topics of sustainability and climate protection in business and industry and highlighted the contribution that digitalization, automation and renewable energies can make in combination.

IGZ once again receives the Gold status of the SAP PartnerEdge program in 2024.

This award is the highest honor that an SAP partner can receive at a national level. It underlines the long-standing and successful partnership between IGZ and SAP as well as the large number of outstanding customer references that demonstrate IGZ's expertise and reliability as an established SAP partner.

Once again this year, the highlight of the March trade fair - LogiMAT 2024 - was firmly on the agenda for our IGZ team.

Equipped with the latest innovations and full of energy, we were once again able to present our solutions for a future-proof and sustainable digital supply chain.

At the international trade fair for intralogistics solutions and process management in Stuttgart, which took place from March 19 to 21, 2024, we were once again able to shine with two impressive exhibition stands: In Hall 1, we proudly presented our comprehensive services as an SAP EWM general contractor, while in Hall 8 we were represented as SAP engineers and a holistic contact for your digital supply chain.

By introducing a future-proof, scalable Manufacturing Execution System (MES), MTU Aero Engines has realized the ideal of the "production of the future".

The new harmonized system landscape and SAP MES-based online order execution ensure simplified, error-free and reliable work steps as well as efficient utilization of production capacities.

Automation, sustainability and artificial intelligence are omnipresent topics and have a massive impact on the future viability of supply chains.

LogiMAT, the international trade fair for intralogistics solutions and process management, will address these challenges in 2024 under the motto "Shaping Change Together".

IGZ will be presenting ground-breaking solutions to visitors at two trade fair stands to make the supply chain fit for the future.

A global market leader is setting the course for its logistics IT: Belimo Automation AG is rolling out SAP Extended Warehouse Management (SAP EWM) as a global platform to all logistics locations with the SAP engineers at IGZ.

A dedicated template serves as the basis, which was used for the first time in the new service and logistics center in Großröhrsdorf near Dresden.

The template takes into account the functional requirements of other locations so that it can be successively rolled out internationally together with IGZ and independently. A great success: the SAP EWM rollouts are running exactly to the month according to the original schedule. On top of this, a further site was even able to go live.

Founded in Switzerland in 1975, Belimo employs around 2,200 people worldwide and generated sales of around 847 million Swiss francs in 2022. Its product range includes products that can be found in almost every large building: Control…
