The national meat industry faces large and difficult challenges. Besides the difficult situation concerning the acquisition of suitable raw materials at the right point of time for production, there are also the rising demands of customers towards producers of meat and sausage products. Of utmost importance is the quickest possible supply of goods for the dispatch as well as the demand for order-oriented picking and branding of the ordered products.

These demands can be fulfilled with innovative systems that not only optimize the internal resource flow of a company, but also direct a company's activities towards the future. Warehousing systems as well as material handling play a large role here, for these factors are determinant of whether optimal warehouse stock, short product processing time, fulfilment of delivery deadlines and high flexibility in production can be achieved.
