New Software Components for Dangerous Goods Storage

Briem Spedition relies on automated processes in warehouse logistics

Filderstadt – September 27, 2021 – With the commissioning of its new hazardous goods warehouse in Münsingen, Briem Spedition is pushing ahead with digitization in its own company. In addition to the latest technology, the Filderstadt-based logistician relies on software solutions specially developed for the industry. They enable the management and control of all processes of complex warehouse management, partly fully – partly semi-automatically. The new high-bay warehouse has 5,500 storage spaces on an area of around 10,000 square meters. Briem Spedition expects a monthly turnover of more than 1,500 pallets. Mainly dangerous goods such as pesticides, pyrotechnics, semiconductors or their ingredients are stored. The new warehouse also serves as a logistics center. In Münsingen, the deliveries are picked, packed in cardboard boxes and prepared for dispatch. The company assumes around 40,000 boxes that leave the warehouse and distribution center every month.

Software from RETECO Datentechnik ensures the safe operation of the warehouse and the reliable handling of all work processes. The Lübeck logistics software company impressed with its module-based system solutions for complex processes. With the expansion of the systems, Briem and RETECO are also deepening their long-term partnership. The new components warehouse, accounting and view not only build on the existing CARGOBASE® TMS system, but also make it a platform of its own. Storage space management, order picking and accounting – the system brings all processes together clearly, partly automatically.

The new warehouse navigation software from RETECO is of particular importance at the Münsingen site. It had to be implemented in the Toyota forklift system. They save time during storage and picking and prevent possible errors in parking space management. This happens in that, for example, parking space information is fed into the high-bay forklift control and the respective parking spaces can be approached directly. At the same time, the system calculates the optimal approach angle to the storage locations and thus supports the drivers in their work. The driver only has to operate one button. Automation enables orders to be processed faster and more efficiently.

The system was introduced in three months. During the integration phase, the RETECO experts were on hand to provide future users with advice and assistance.
After completing the joint project, Maximilian Briem, Managing Director of Briem Speditions-GmbH, particularly praised the cooperation with RETECO: “We have personal contacts at Reteco who respond immediately to our inquiries and also support us with solutions if there are problems. By implementing the new software components, we can optimize all warehousing processes. The new software makes our work more efficient, more effective and more productive.”

The head of sales and marketing at RETECO, Michael Reimer, is pleased about the intensification of the long-term business relationship with the logistics specialist Briem: “Once again, Reteco has proven to be a competent partner for sophisticated software solutions for the logistics industry. We are particularly pleased that we have been able to deepen our long-term business relationship with the project.”
