Energy Efficient Intralogistics Creating Logistics Results

Environmental protection, CO2 abatement, rising energy costs and finite energy reserves are increasingly important issues in the intralogistics sector. In a broad range of schemes and a diversity of programs, recent legislation requires and encourages the application of particularly energy efficient technologies and the use of renewable energies. Our customers are increasingly responding to these requirements when undertaking new investments and upgrading existing logistics systems. At Dematic, energy efficiencies and energy savings in intralogistics have been key parameters for over 15 years...

Saving energy not only has a positive impact on the environment, but the resultant lower cost factor also increases the economic viability of your logistics investments. Whereas electrical power accounts for “only” one fifth of total energy consumption, it causes almost a half of energy-related greenhouse gas emissions. The reason is that generating electricity requires around three times the volume of primary energy. The World Energy Council has forecast a 70 to 100 percent increase in demand by the year 2050. The consequences: oil, gas and electricity prices will continue to rise, as will CO2...

Dematic storage/retrieval systems; a model of high efficiency Dematic S/R systems have been equipped with energy recovery since 1995. With each storage or retrieval cycle our customers saved energy and money. Both our hardware and software are optimized for energy savings. Our customers save up to 29 % energy per storage/retrieval cycle. Dematic applies state-of-theart electronics in its energy recovery concepts. Currently, rectifier/regenerating units with d.c. links are used. This technology has the benefit that, for example, the braking energy of the traction drive is made directly available...

Dematic MultishuttleTM – unparalleled energy efficiency in small parts warehousing Introduced just 2 years ago, the Dematic MultishuttleTM inspires customers not only because of its outstanding logistics potential, but in particular through its extremely high level of efficiency. Not surprising: it weighs only 80 kg and is capable of transporting loads of up to 40 kg. Our miniload storage and retrieval units exhibite the same positive characteristics as our pallet rack pickers, e.g. energy recovery, optimized weight and intelligent energy-saving software. Now, our MultishuttleTM system, rolled-out...

Energy savings in patented double-zone warehousing Patented energy efficiency in double-zone warehousing Double-zone warehousing developed, patented and frequently installed by Dematic is proof that energy savings can be successfully combined with significant logistics benefits. The concept allows, e.g. temperature sensitive food products, chemicals or pharmaceuticals to be highly economically stored in different temperature zones. In warehouses with various temperature zones, highest standards of delivery capability with simultaneous optimization of operating costs is essential. To fulfill these...

Renewable energies for intralogistics In green field projects, Dematic is investigating the use of renewable energies. There are initial ideas, e.g. on generating electrical and thermal energy from biogas plants, or generating electricity from photovoltaic cells installed on large areas of warehouse roofing and feeding it back into the public grid. Energy concepts that sustainably lower energy costs in the medium and long term need to be developed at an early stage in the planning of logistics facilities. Key issues are: Air tightness and insulation of the buildings Efficiency of the supply systems...
