AVOID HARMFUL PACKAGING
As an environmentally-conscious company, use is made of ecological and recyclable packaging materials.
AS WELL AS THESE OPTIONS, THERE ARE OTHER IMPORTANT ASPECTS THAT SHOULD BE ACTIVELY AND PASSIVELY IMPROVED. FOR EXAMPLE, THESE INCLUDE:
Automated transport systems (ATS)
Automated transport systems (ATS) or also automated guided vehicles (AGV) in intralogistics are not just efficient, but also go a long way in compensating for a shortage of specialists. They also handle simple activities or transportation of heavy goods to ease the load on your staff.
Automation of data and information
Artificial intelligence is now also an indispensable part of intralogistics. It helps make processes simpler, faster and more sustainable. Automated systems combined with artificial intelligence optimise processes and enable weaknesses to be detected. Fb Industry Automation also heavily relies on these technologies, such as when optimising the choice of storage location or increasing the throughput.
Customised, automated shelving systems

Hausbrot.at | Packing line | Fb Industry Automation
Hausbrot.at supplies kindergartens, businesses, and private households daily with fresh baked goods and other food products. However, with around 1,000 orders per day, the company reached the limits of its manual warehouse management. To meet the increasing demands, Hausbrot.at decided to undertake a comprehensive modernization of its intralogistics. In collaboration with Fb Industry Automation, a highly automated warehouse system was developed and implemented, which not only significantly increased efficiency but also minimized error rates and improved working conditions.

BIG Bundesimmobiliengesellschaft – library of the university Graz
During the realisation of the construction project “Renovation and extension” of the library of the Karl-Franzens University of Graz”, the section of the library built in the 1970s created an obstacle to this important urban development. The historic library building has been transformed over several construction phases from the original clarity of its symmetrical late-19th century layout to a complex conglomerate of different room sequences.
