Automation is at the heart of Jungheinrich’s strategy for future growth and a vital part of Strategy 2025+. The focal points for this field of action are mobile robots, automated warehouse systems and software. In order to make the most of market opportunities over the long term and grow profitably, Jungheinrich has turned to creating its own product innovations, such as the PowerCube, as well as strategic partnerships and targeted acquisitions, such as the recent acquisitions of Storage Solutions and Magazino.
At the beginning of 2023, Jungheinrich acquired the US-based supplier of racking systems and warehouse automation, and thus created a strategic platform for future growth on the US market for warehouse equipment and automation.
In August 2023 Jungheinrich acquired all of the shares in Munich-based robotics specialist Magazino, and thus strengthened the field of autonomous mobile robots as a future field in intralogistics.
2023 also saw the launch of Rocrich AGV Solutions, a joint venture between Jungheinrich and Mitsubishi Logisnext Americas. Rocrich has a comprehensive range of mobile automation and robotics solutions, and global experience in the sector.
The Jungheinrich PowerCube is an automated compact storage system for containers – the tallest storage system in its class and the 2023 winner of the IFOY Award in the intralogistics robots category.
The arculee autonomous robot is a future-oriented solution for the underload transport and goods-to-person order picking application areas – small, fast and flexible.
This mobile robot solution was presented at the 2023 LogiMAT trade fair and combines the ideal interplay between hardware and software as well as interconnectivity and integration in the warehouse of the future.
