After almost 130 years of company history, the headquarters of the Bensheim-based company Sanner has reached the limits of its capacity. With the \u201eGreen MedTech Park\u201c, a new, particularly environmentally friendly production and logistics site is now being created nearby. The expert in desiccant packaging and medical technology products has commissioned Unitechnik Systems to plan and implement a logistics centre for the new site.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Founded in Bensheim in 1894, Sanner GmbH has made a name for itself from the very beginning as a Manufacturer of special containers for the medical industry<\/strong>. From cork as the basic material for glass bottle caps, the switch was later made to break-proof and more hygienic plastic. Today, products such as effervescent tablet tubes have long been an integral part of the medical sector. Both production and logistics still take place at the company's headquarters. So that we can continue to grow in the future,<\/strong> Sanner has opted for a new building in Bensheim with a total area of 27,000 square metres. This will provide sufficient space for a doubling of the current production area<\/strong> and 4,000 square metres of storage space.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The material flow of the manufactured products will be fully automated at the new site. Over a dozen Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) supply production with empty containers<\/strong> and also transport containers filled with produced goods to the warehouse. There they are temporarily stored in the automated small parts warehouse (AKL) with 9,000 storage locations. When an order is called off, the corresponding containers are transported to the packaging area and prepared for transport. After automatic filling<\/strong> the order cartons are temporarily buffered in a walking beam storage system with 1,000 storage locations. Finally, the consolidated customer order is stacked and wrapped on pallets using a palletising robot.<\/p>

The new \u201eGreen MedTech Park\u201c will generate part of the required energy themselves.<\/strong> Three five-metre-high wind turbines next to the new building, a photovoltaic system on the entire roof and state-of-the-art heat exchange systems ensure an exemplary environmental balance. The wind energy is used, for example, to charge the building's own electric cars and to cover the energy requirements of the outdoor lighting. The photovoltaic system also covers around 15 to 20 per cent of the electricity requirements of the machines within the plant.<\/p>

Sanner already considered the automation of production and transport processes several years ago. Like many industrial and manufacturing companies, the company sees itself confronted with the challenge of a shortage of skilled labour.<\/strong><\/p>

\u201eIt is important for us to relieve the existing employees and utilise their expertise in the best possible way. With the new, automated site, we are ideally positioned for the future.\u201c<\/p>
