Seeberger GmbH replaced manual processes in its Ulm facility with a new 23,000-pallet automated high-bay warehouse connected to production via a bridge and four driverless transport vehicles. The LFS warehouse management system assigns storage locations across three temperature zones, orchestrates stacker cranes and shuttles, selects pallets for quality control, and maintains continuous material flow to production at up to 75 pallets per hour. After one year of operation, the company reports tripled storage and retrieval capacity plus full transparency of raw material movements for nuts, dried fruit, and coffee production.

Key takeaways

Automated high-bay warehouse with 23,000 pallet locations and three temperature zones increased capacity threefold

LFS WMS coordinates stacker cranes, shuttles, and four driverless transport vehicles for end-to-end material flow

System achieves 75 pallets per hour storage and retrieval while supplying 25 production machines without interruption

LFS automatically routes pallets for laboratory quality sampling before release to production

Existing LFS installation allowed seamless extension to new automated systems without replacing the core WMS
