The Solution:

State-of-the-art and automated small parts warehouse

Modellbau Härtle worked with Packsize to create a new and innovated system to supply its customers more efficiently and sustainably. The two companies worked to create a unified process that incorporates a fully automated storage and picking system from Storojet, ERP software from Vepos, and an EM7 from Packsize.

The resulting solution has significantly optimized the process flow for greater speed, resource efficiency, and sustainability.

As the founder of Modellbau Härtle, Matthias Franz, put it "We don't ship air and filler, but precisely fitting boxes with the right goods."
