02 VERMISCHTES Dear Readers,

Our customers, our employees, our services – these three factors have made a decisive contribution to the Geis Group’s successful development in recent years and decades. But innovations play an equally important role for our company.

WITH INNOVATIONS INTO THE FUTURE EDITORIAL 03 INNOVATIONS IN LOGISTICS

Customer-oriented, efficient and sustainable: The Geis Group is committed to innovation and is driving forward its use and further development in contract logistics.

he use of RFID tags in electronic products and textiles, the early T installation of pick-by-voice systems and the latest smartphone app for delivery scanning all make clear that in contract logistics, new technologies are tested and then rolled out on a broad basis when cost-effective- ness and acceptance are assured.

“Innovative solutions and the digitaliza- tion of processes open up great potential and competitive advantages for us”, says Dr. Johannes Söllner, Managing Director of the Geis Holding. “We have therefore sys- tematized their testing and development.”

EXPERTS IN ACTION

The know-how is developed in Geis’s own working groups and in cross-company workshops. In the field of new technologies in warehouse logistics, for example, Geis is involved in a German Logistics Association (BVL) working group made up of experts from trade, industry and logistics. Technologies are jointly iden-

04 TOP STORY Other projects are driven forward by dedicated development teams of project managers and programmers. These include intelligent scheduling systems for forwarding as well as capacity planning tools for the daily optimization of all warehouse resources in response to the constantly fluctuating quantity re- quirements at the individual sites.

In the new Logistics and Technol- ogy Centre in Gochsheim (near Schweinfurt), Geis is currently testing three concrete innovations in the field of identification technology:

RING SCANNER: This scanner is placed on a finger 1. like a ring and is connected to a battery pack, which is worn like a wristwatch. The main advantage of the scanner is that the order picker has both hands free and doesn’t have to constantly put the scanner down and pick it up again. In addition, the device works quickly and has a high recognition rate. In terms of weight and ergonomics, the battery can in conjunc- tion with the wrist attachment be further optimized. In addition, Geis’ Czech sites are testing how efficiency can be further improved by combining the ring scanner with a display. To this end, either mobile phones are carried on the arm or tablets are fixed to the order picking trolley.

ORDER-PICKING GLOVES: Here the reader is on the back 2.of the hand after putting on the glove. Both hands are then free for picking, and handling is very user-friendly and comfortable. Despite the compact dimensions and low weight, the battery life is sufficient for an eight-hour shift. The efficiency of order-picking gloves can also be increased with a display in the same way as ring scanners. The manufacturer of the glove is working on models with their own small monitors.

The picking trolley contains a pick-to- light display, which shows the current container to be filled. The number of parts that are gripped is checked by scanning.

Marco Weißensel, who as Area Logis- tics Manager represents the Geis Group in the BVL working group, says: “We are currently also working on technologies such as exoskeletons that help our employees lift goods. Very flexible processes can also be mapped with omni- directional conveyor and positioning systems. In contrast to traditional conveyor technology, several objects can be moved and positioned simultaneously and independently of each other on any number of belts. However, detailed test scenarios need to be run before concrete results will become available.”

INTELLIGENT ADD-ONS BRING ADDED VALUE

Geis has come up with a new solution to the classic problem of standard software versus individual software in contract logistics: Its own IT experts develop powerful and tailor-made additional modules based on very powerful standard software for all warehouse and value-added processes. These include the tools mentioned above for capacity control and planning, intelligent technologies for communication with temporary staff, and individual optimization routines in line with the filling-level optimization (see info box).

We have opened a new Geis Air + Sea office at Frankfurt Airport and since 1 October, the company has been operating for customers in Hamburg and from November also in Munich. At the same time, TAS has moved into new offices in Hamburg. As a result, we have improved working conditions for our employees and created space for future development.

Are there any further developments? Yes. For example, all air and sea freight locations now work on a uniform IT system – not only in Germany, but throughout Europe. We completed the migration to the new IT system at the end of August.
