August 31, 2009
With an innovative logistics solution for the beverages sector,
Schäfer has automated the new center of production and distribution of the Danish company Carlsberg. Some 76,000 locations of pallets, transport systems of pallets with electrovía and compact racking (Schäfer Compact Cranes), as well as a warehouse management system fully customized of SSI Schäfer, ensure processes transparent, efficient and high performance.
The new center of production and distribution near Fredericia, in Denmark, represents the most important investment Carlsberg in the history of the Danish brewery. The surface measures more than two square kilometers, of which half have been built. The particularity of this great project is that Schäfer, as a specialist in the field of intralogistics, received the order for the conception, approach and the realization of the installation through an international auction. Since the approach and logistic conception and covering a broad spectrum of tasks, both of the silo of pallets in height from design to construction as a special shelf within the ship, to the technique of pallet transport and the connection of facilities of bottling with electrovíasSchäfer has made one of the most modern facilities existing at present.

Peter Lambrecht, responsible for Schäfer project manager, summarizes the project as "one of the most interesting thing we've done so far as general contractor". The biggest challenge was the little time margin, because in a period of 14 months after the award of the order, the installation had to be completed.
