Stamh and Movu Robotics Together in Southeast, Central Europe

As part of its goal to ensure no warehouse is left behind, Movu Robotics has entered a strategic international partnership with STAMH Group, which brings new competitive advantage to businesses in Central and Southeastern Europe by making warehouse automation more flexible, scalable and affordable.

With both companies embracing the move to goods-to-person intralogistics, this collaboration provides a more easily available and much shorter automation path for many successful businesses in a large number of countries in Eastern Europe, including Romania, Serbia, Greece, Croatia, Bulgaria, North Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania and Montenegro. No longer part of the distant future, autonomously performing technologies are a practical reality today. For Movu it’s important to count on a reliable integration company in the region and STAMH relies on leading technologies in warehouse automation that provide simple solutions for handling growing volumes and faster throughputs.

With more than 14,000 successful integrations, 23 years of experience and storage systems performing in 22 countries around the globe, STAMH continues to prove its commitment to integrate tailored automation solutions. Responding to the increasingly demanding market requirements in the region, Movu provides STAMH with strong and reliable partnership to offer robotic solutions and future-proofed automated systems to perfectly match the automation needs of a variety of logistics hubs, fulfillment centers, warehouses and distribution centers in Central and Southeastern Europe.

Sharing a common vision

Stefan Pieters, CEO of Movu Robotics said: “Strategic partnerships with integrators are an important part of the Movu Go-to-Market strategy. Movu and STAMH share the view that both small and larger warehouses can be effectively optimised in terms of useful storage space and intralogistics processes. Whether for large facilities handling palletised loads or the more recent innovation of micro and nano fulfillment centers serving large cities, automated solutions will allow smooth and effective performance without errors, round the clock, every day of the year. Making warehouse automation easier than ever, the long-term partnership between Movu and STAMH is an international commitment to help business to scale up step-by-step, at the speed of their own development.”

STAMH Group’s international engineering, automation and software teams are ready for the intralogistics automation challenges facing businesses. Robotic solutions for palletised loads, such as Movu atlas and its specially designed Racking System, are already being installed in distribution centers across Southeastern and Central Europe.

Through reducing width and the number of driving aisles, Movu atlas brings seamless space optimisation. The bi-directional movements of the new robotic shuttles on the X-axis are controlled by intelligent software, reducing unnecessary movements and achieving optimal operations. It selects the most convenient robot to effectuate the next storage and retrieval task. Customers can start with one robotic shuttle and increase the number if needed.

The integrated charging station, and the autonomous on-the-fly charging of the shuttles further reduces manual operations. Atlas shuttle robots charging by themselves removes another thing for customers to think about.

Partnership for ecommerce

An increasingly vital aspect of logistics, eCommerce often involves multiple orders requiring preparation in seconds. With the proportion of e-shoppers growing from 55% in 2012 to 75% in 2022, according to the latest Eurostat data, modern fulfillment and distribution centers have become crucial economic drivers for any online business, looking to scale and grow. Solutions such as Movu escala are being integrated in new fulfilment centers to achieve robotic storage and extraction of picking totes, combined with on-the-fly industrial battery charging, autonomous handling and three-dimensional (X- and Y-axis) operations.

From AGVs to AMR solutions

STAMH and Movu offer proven and future-proof AMR technology to reduce the requirement for manual transportation of goods over large distances in modern distribution centers. The latest AMR systems, such as Movu ifollow, are light, fast, secure and smart. They do not require complex guiding systems integration or infrastructural changes in the warehouse. Controlled by plug-and-play software to effectively navigate around static and moving obstacles as they transport heavy loads. Movu ifollow AMRs are the perfect tool for collaborative picking and perform even in low temperatures found in cold stores.

Constantly innovating, STAMH Group embraces these impressive technologies and, through co-operation with Movu, will enable the integration of automated warehouse systems and technologies that will take intralogistics in Central and South-Eastern Europe to a completely new and optimal level. This results for any growing business in the region will be increased competitiveness and velocity of operations as well as greater customer satisfaction.

To tackle the challenges of sustainable development, both Movu and STAMH apply their principles with the common goal of a better tomorrow. STAMH Group remains firmly behind the respect, support, and protection of human rights, following high corporate and working standards. Movu is working to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all people of all ages.

Both companies share, encourage, and develop energy-saving technologies, and strive to achieve sustainable and modern energy for all. While AI is an integral part of their software systems, STAMH and Movu recognise the talent in their companies and can count on the best and highly specialised teams in the complex intralogistics fields. This is the philosophy behind every new success and every new integration and is why STAMH and Movu’s international teams can understand every single automation and intralogistics need.

Increased Protection when Forklifts are Reversing

The new “Reverse Assist Radar” system from Linde Material Handling (MH) protects people and prevents damage to goods and infrastructure by detecting moving and stationary objects behind counterbalanced trucks. If there is a risk of a collision, the assistance system very quickly brakes the vehicle to a standstill. The solution ensures high productivity through situation-specific interventions.

“More than half of all accidents involving industrial trucks happen when the vehicle is reversing,” says Fabian Zimmermann, Product Manager Safety Solutions at Linde MH, citing available statistics and drawing attention to a risk that is often underestimated. One of the main reasons is the driver’s limited view to the rear. “The blind spot begins when the angle of vision exceeds 180 degrees. But even before that, people and objects behind the vehicle are not perceived so well.” The Linde Reverse Assist Radar, a sensor-based system that detects both moving and stationary objects located behind the truck in its path of travel, is now available to help.

Forklifts are reversing

A major advantage of this safety solution is its powerful braking performance in the event of danger. If an obstacle is detected, the Linde Reverse Assist Radar brakes the truck to a standstill with a force of up to 3m/s2. The braking effect is calculated according to the lift height, travel speed, steering angle and distance to the obstacle, so it is always adapted to the individual driving and hazard situation. Different lighting conditions do not affect the proper functioning of the system. If the Reverse Assist Radar detects a potential collision, it automatically intervenes and overrides the driving command. “The system provides valuable assistance, especially in hectic situations in the warehouse or when inexperienced forklift drivers are behind the wheel, when material has been placed incorrectly and is in the path of travel or when the driver is distracted,” explains Zimmermann.

Emergency warning only

In the event of a hazard, the system alerts the driver with a series of acoustic signals. If the truck is equipped with an optional 7’’ display, the driver will additionally receive a visual warning and be prompted to check the area behind the vehicle. The detection area is designed to cover the rear width of the truck as standard but can be adjusted to suit individual requirements. “The system only reacts to obstacles in the defined travel path,” continues the product expert. For example, goods or other objects located in a block storage area to the right and left of the path will not cause the system to intervene. This avoids unnecessary disturbances or interruptions.

Another advantage of the Linde Reverse Assist Radar is that it can be combined with other safety assistance solutions. “To minimize risks in the warehouse environment and avoid dangerous situations with industrial trucks, it can make sense to combine different solutions,” explains Zimmermann. These include, for example, the Linde Front Assist Camera, which is based on artificial intelligence and detects dangerous situations involving pedestrians when the truck is moving forward and decelerates the vehicle accordingly. “Our sales organization provides advice and support, because choosing the right solution always depends on the specific situation on site.” Equally important to the Linde safety expert is the impending availability of the Linde Reverse Assist Radar as a retrofit solution.

Pneumatic Rollerbed Loading with Advanced Control Box

Joloda Hydraroll Ltd, material handling expert and global loading and unloading solutions specialist, has introduced an innovative new control box for its range of pneumatic rollerbed systems. The control box has been re-engineered to simplify use and maintenance of the pneumatic rollerbed systems, which are used by transport companies to handle air freight and palletised goods in and out of their vehicles. It promises to help further streamline loading and unloading processes, improve safety measures, lower servicing costs, and minimise vehicle downtime.

Most commonly, pneumatic rollerbed systems are installed in trailers so that freight can be easily rolled in and out without using forklifts. When the roller tracks are lowered, goods are placed directly onto the trailer floor. Up to four sections of roller track are added along the length of the trailer, which can be raised or lowered individually. This helps to ensure cargo is unloaded systematically and safely and prevents load shift if the trailer is on an incline. The control box is installed on the outside of the trailer and is used to raise or lower each section of roller track.

The control box from Joloda Hydraroll comes as standard with a unique AutoDown safety feature. An electronic signal from the vehicle’s brake lights activates an override valve, which releases the air from all sections of the rollerbed. This safety feature automatically lowers the rollers if they are still in the raised position when the vehicle sets off. Whereas the previous model relied on turn vowels (and had to be reset before using the system again), the new control box is only available with push/pull valve operation to improve safety: the push/pull valves are overridden by the AutoDown feature and therefore no longer require resetting.

A new user-friendly design clearly indicates which push/pull lever controls each section of rollertrack, meaning simple and safe use for operators unfamiliar with rollerbed systems. A new magnetic lid ensures the control box is always shut during transit, while a more compact inner design allows the entire internal assembly to be easily removed. This, along with external airline connections, speeds up mounting and demounting for maintenance and servicing of airpipes and valves. The control box’s external dimensions remain the same so components are interchangeable for replacements.

The new control box features on both the Pneumatic Rollertrack system (built directly into the chassis of a truck or trailer by the manufacturer) and the Modular Rollerbed System (retrofitted on top of any flat surface as a floor-on-floor rollerbed solution). Both allow companies to increase handling capacities more efficiently, effectively, and safely.

Arjan Nobel, Global Sales Manager at Joloda Hydraroll, said: “At Joloda Hydraroll, we pride ourselves on our engineering expertise and commitment to customer feedback. We develop and manufacture all aspects of our loading and unloading systems and we are constantly looking for ways to improve them. Our new control box design ensures Joloda Hydraroll’s pneumatic rollerbed solutions are now even easier for our customers to install, control, maintain, and service.”

Currently, there are more than 500,000 manual loading systems in operation worldwide. Customers can easily upgrade to the new control box design or continue to acquire spare parts for their existing models from Joloda Hydraroll.
