Schaltbau GmbH

Initial situation

  • new construction of a factory in Velden
  • complex supply chains demanded high flexibility in production
  • the pursuit of a scalable and sustainable solution

Customer Benefit

  • ideal situation for sustainable intralogistics for the NExT Factory in Velden developed in a workshop
  • customized material flow solution in the DC factory for CO2-neutral production
  • competent and reliable partner

The vision of a direct current factory became reality.

With the original vision of CO2-neutral production, the goal was ambitious. But with the world's first DC factory, Schaltbau showed that visions can be turned into reality. In addition to the DC grid as the basis, all components of the Servus system were also adapted and optimized. Thanks to special capacitor modules
both acceleration and braking energy is temporarily stored and reused. This allows dynamic operation of the entire intralogistics system with minimal energy consumption from which the entire factory benefits a lot.

Every challenge holds an opportunity for innovation

The innovative intralogistics solution at
Schaltbau is therefore not only a technological highlight, but also a role model for sustainable and efficient production solutions worldwide. With the NExT Factory, Schaltbau is positioning itself as a pioneer in the industry and demonstrating that sustainable production with efficient intralogistics is not only possible, but also forward-looking.
