It sounds a bit like Miniatur Wunderland, the "world's largest model railway" in Hamburg's Speicherstadt. "Everything will be flexible, dynamic, and adaptable," promises Lars Bergmann with his "Fluid Factory," which uses underfloor magnetic technology.
Lars Bergmann is the founder, CEO, and managing director, guaranteeing the development and implementation of software solutions, corporate management, and strategic development. Not to mention that he graduated with honors in business administration, achieving a perfect score of 1.0 on his diploma thesis. He joins forces with asset manager and banker Thomas Immler, Mücahid Erbek from Hamburg, and management consultant Robert Schittler. "China wanted to seize our patents," says Schittler. "The process took ten years, and we are finally able to operate." The founders consider themselves nothing less than "the future of the warehousing and logistics industry," a claim also confirmed by the Fraunhofer Institute. Their patented "Fluid Logistics" technology replaces conventional conveyor belts, forklifts, and battery-powered robots with magnetically controlled, autonomous transport platforms.
Traveling magnetic fields
Now Bergmann, who already has several patents on his resume, ranging from controllable converter elements on combinable surfaces and systems for displaying virtual scenarios to "vertical farming", is entering the scene with his technology of magnetic fields moving below the floor of the warehouse for the "Factory of the future".
“Our system adapts in a flash and is maintenance-free,” he says, “ideal for industry, logistics, and defense.” Energy consumption is minimal at just 120 watts per vehicle, compared to conventional technologies like electric pallet trucks. Machines, tools, and vehicles can move in real time and adjust their position at any time. Thanks to the absence of mechanical drives and batteries, the system is virtually maintenance-free: no mechanical parts, no batteries – maximum reliability.
A baggage handling system was simulated at Frankfurt Airport, and a form of production logistics was tested at Daimler. The state of Hesse provided €700,000 in funding, and the state of Saxony-Anhalt contributed €1.7 million. "Imagine a world," says Bergmann, "where nothing is rigid or fixed. Machines, tools, vehicles, and even entire production lines adapt to new conditions in a flash.".
«We end the present»
"We are ending the present," they confidently declare. "In the future, there will be no forklifts, no robots, no batteries, and no mechanical parts." This will be interesting.
