Hermes installing BEUMER technology in new logistics centres
Hermes Germany will be establishing nine new logistics centres over the next two years – and BEUMER Group has been asked to provide six of these logistics centres with sortation and distribution technology. In a statement sent to Post&Parcel today (7 March) BEUMER Group said: “In the four largest locations, BEUMER Group will use high-speed sortation systems of type BS 55 – WB/DB with two cross belt elements on a carriage, the smaller logistics centres will be provided with BS 25 ET tilt tray sorters. BEUMER Group will supply turnkey systems.”
The first project in this series is the new logistics centre in Bad Rappenau near Heilbronn, Germany, which will start operations in mid-May, and the full programme is scheduled to be completed in 2019.
“We are pleased to provide the logistics centres of Hermes with state-of-the-art conveying and sortation technology in the next years,” said Thomas Wiesmann, Director Sales Logistic Systems of BEUMER Group.
“This way we emphasize the longstanding partnership with BEUMER Group, which we’ll continue with this project in the coming years,” says André Mushack, Head of Technical System at Hermes Germany.
