Eisenmann signs long-term cooperation agreement

Eisenmann and a leading German food retailer have signed a cooperation agreement that will enable the testing and refinement of innovative technology for material handling. Eisenmann is to supply two pilot systems based on LogiMovers – twin-tined, automated guided pallet conveyors. The stated goal of both parties is to take the LogiMover from prototype to marketable product.

The first LogiMovers will be deployed at a German logistics center operated by the food retailer before the end of the year. As a company representative explains: “We hope to leverage LogiMover to achieve a higher degree of automation in our logistics processes, and to boost efficiency.”

The unique, patented twin-tine vehicle lifts pallets off the floor and takes them to a target location – entirely without manual intervention. In the first phase of the project, relatively simple tasks will be tested and refined; during the second phase, more complex logistics challenges will be addressed.

“The cooperation agreement is very important to us. It provides a reliable basis for planning, plus the guarantee that the LogiMover will meet customers’ real-world requirements when it goes into production,” underlines Ralf Weiland, Senior Vice President, Conveyor Systems, at Eisenmann. “This contract enables us to partner with a key and experienced customer, and to jointly work to improve logistics processes.”
