WEBER-HYDRAULIK modernizes high-bay warehouse in record time
Modern high-bay warehouse at the Güglingen site
Güglingen, August 13, 2025. Together with Kardex Mlog, WEBER-HYDRAULIK has modernized a two-aisle high-bay warehouse. In addition, the partners built a new material flow control system with a customized concept.
After the old buffer warehouse, which was built in 1991, had become outdated and was partially worn out mechanically, the decision was made to completely renovate it. “We also used the modernization as an opportunity to completely redefine our processes and make them more efficient,” explains Chris Gulyasch, project manager at WEBER-HYDRAULIK. The short implementation time posed a particular challenge: despite the extensive work involved, the modernization had to be completed within three weeks due to operational requirements.
Efficient processes and transparent warehouse management
“Due to the tight schedule and the circumstances, the dismantling and removal of the old stacker cranes and the lifting of the new stacker cranes into place using a crane via the roof was an impressive spectacle. The successful logistics and excellent coordination of these demanding tasks were the result of an outstanding team effort,” explains Gulyasch. The modernization was completed successfully and on schedule.
In addition to new rack-mounted conveyors with aisle equipment and automatic control, there are now five new ergonomic and height-adjustable workstations with hydraulic scissor lift tables in the picking area. Furthermore, the teams have created more space in the warehouse through restructuring.
The modernization measures were rounded off by the implementation of a new material flow computer, which takes over order and storage location management, while system visualization is ensured by additional software. “With the new system, processes in the warehouse are now recorded seamlessly and transparently, and we have already seen significant improvements in fault management,” says Gulyasch.
