Automated storage for Airbus logistics hub
AIRBUS HELICOPTERS has opened a new logistics hub at Albacete, Spain, which is equipped and operated by Daher as the lead logistics partner.
DAHER HAS equipped the hub with a highly automated and robotised storage system from Exotec. The 50,000 sq m warehouse is adjacent to the Airbus Helicopters production facility.
The hub’s ambitious and disruptive technologies reduce the total amount of storage space required, as well as delivering the specified levels of efficiency and responsiveness, while also significantly reducing the need for operators to move around the site. Every aspect of the design focuses on optimising quality control, reducing human error, maximising safety and improving operator working conditions.
Inter-site transportation – also provided by Daher – will utilise biofuel-powered trucks that reduce CO2 emissions by 90% when compared to diesel fuel.
