Brand presence and modern storage technology ensure

fast and reliable order processing at Signode

Signode Packaging Systems GmbH is one of the world’s leading providers of transport packaging solutions. The company offers a broad portfolio of innovative systems, materials, and services that ensure secure, efficient, and sustainable packaging along the entire supply chain.

Efficient storage organization with Hänel Lean-Lifts®

Signode relies on five Hänel Lean-Lifts® at its Hilden site for space-saving and structured temporary storage of dispatch items and assembly parts for packaging machines. The compact storage systems enable optimal use of the available space and create an efficient basis for internal logistics processes.

The corporate design is a visible presence in the warehouse

Signode places particular emphasis on a uniform appearance in all areas. This is also evident in the warehouse: The Hänel Lean-Lifts® are covered with striking motifs and visibly integrate the corporate design into the work environment. The brand identity is therefore consistently continued into the warehouse.

Fast and ergonomic order picking process

Order picking begins by scanning an item number. The Hänel Lean-Lifts® then automatically provide the required items at an ergonomic retrieval height.

Orders can be processed especially quickly thanks to parallel pre-positioning in the lifts. One employee can operate multiple lifts at the same time and therefore also pick large orders in the shortest possible time.

Precision with the Hänel Pick-o-Light® Vario

The Hänel Pick-o-Light® Vario supports order picking by marking the correct item with a LED light spot, thus ensuring unique and accurate retrieval. By delivering goods directly to the user, walking distances are minimized, search times reduced, and the efficiency of order picking further improved.

Optimized distribution processes

Once the items have been retrieved, they are assembled in transport crates for shipping directly in front of the lifts. This structured approach saves valuable time and ensures smooth processing of orders.

The Hänel Lean-Lifts® provide Signode with a modern storage solution that saves space, speeds up processes, and provides ergonomic working conditions for employees. The uniform corporate design also strengthens visual brand presence in the warehouse. Overall, Signode benefits from efficient, reliable, and sustainable storage organization at its location in Hilden.

“The Hänel Lean-Lifts® have allowed us to take an important step into the future: Modern technology makes our processes smarter and at the same time enhances reliability and ergonomics in logistics.”
