Siemens supports Henkel ’ s sustainability strategy : “ Do more with fewer resources ”

As a globally operating supplier of energyefficient , automated complete solutions for in-house logistics in industrial companies , we offer expert consulting for installation of new systems as well as for modernization of and upgrades to existing warehouses . We supply everything from a single source , and all based on our automation standards .

Henkel in Düsseldorf , Germany , relied on Siemens to provide the equipment for its channel warehouse . This new distribution center will play a crucial role in connecting production directly to the warehouse ( wall to wall ), thereby shortening transport routes , reducing environmental pollution , and making retail supply more efficient .

For example , the automated stock removal – supported by coordinated IT processes and automated stacker cranes – will result in approximately 1.5 million fewer forklift movements annually .

As a result , Henkel will see a 20 percent reduction in its ton-kilometer figures .
