AUMOVIO

First AutoStore in the Czech Republic and comprehensive logistics digitalization

1200x627 Continental CaseStudy

AUMOVIO Czech Republic, known until September 2025 as the Automotive division of the Continental Group, is now an independent company that builds upon a long automotive tradition. The new warehouse at the plant in Brandýs nad Labem consolidates all its logistics processes. AUMOVIO Czech Republic has also become the first company in the nation to implement the top-rate AutoStore warehousing system, for which it received the prestigious elogistics Award in 2023

The plant’s logistics processes were optimised end-to-end – from receipt of materials and put-away to issuing into manufacturing and onward to shipping – to maximise performance under the plant’s conditions. The Aimtec DCIx digitalisation platform plays a key role here; it centrally manages all the technologies and processes from one point, and it’s connected with SAP ERP in real time. The solution manages multiple technologies, such as semi-automatic VNA trucks, Kardex vertical lift modules (VLMs) with Pick by Light technology and the AutoStore automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS).  

For the warehouse reorganisation, AUMOVIO relied on the data warehouse. The outputs are also visualised in 3D using a digital twin

  • Stacker work was reduced from 24 hours to 7.5 hours per month.
  • The warehouse’s operations are now paperless – operators view all information on their tablet or scanner.
  • All the new technologies have freed up 2,000 more m² for manufacturing out of a storage area of 5,400 m².
  • Effective system management has significantly reduced data demands and the need for maintenance.
  • Complete identification of all shortcomings in the current physical warehouse layout through 3D visualisation.
