When redesigning the logistics center at the Bosch Automotive Electronics plant in Juárez, Mexico, great importance was attached to the use of a state-of-the-art intralogistics solution.
In the iFOS – intelligent Forklift Operation System project, the customer opted for the innovative forklift guidance system from the ABF Intralogistics Suite.
The currently most modern 3D guidance system ensures automatic tracking and booking of Euro pallets on front forklifts and reach trucks in the high-bay warehouse with 10,000 storage locations.
