Krones, a billion-dollar company, is not only known for its beverage bottling plants, but has also bundled its know-how and associated expertise in a cross-industry company as a system integrator for fully automated intralogistics solutions such as high-bay warehouses, AGVs and order picking.
In 2014, the material flow division was spun off into Syskron GmbH, which launched as "System Logistics" in 2019. At a technology center in Wackersdorf, Bavaria, 125 employees generate approximately €60 million in annual revenue. The designs high-bay warehouses up to 43 meters high with 1,000 to 50,000 pallet positions in various configurations, ranging from tropical to deep-freeze temperatures. It also integrates compact warehouses with maximum storage density and medium throughput, order picking solutions, and AGV systems. Recently, the company exhibited at the Logistics & Automation trade fair in Bern.

The name "System Logistics" has thus become a guiding principle for some time, culminating, among other things, in an AS/RS system called "LogiMate." The latter offers a wide range of high-density, multi-level options for long-term storage, as well as inventory buffers for high-speed sequencing and fulfillment applications. The automated storage system is designed to ensure reliable operation in extreme environments, including refrigerated and deep-freeze warehouses.
Furthermore, «LogiMate» offers a solution to prevent inventory shrinkage (theft or loss of items), reduce damage, and improve the accuracy of order processing.
