KNAPP AG Strategy and prospects
New challenges
In general, KNAPP AG expects a satisfactory level of new investments in the target industries and expects to continue with the high order intake of the previous years. New demands on multichannel warehouses, new work place regulations and quality requirements will continue to be the determining factors for new, replacement and expansion investments. In the markets relevant to the KNAPP Group, especially in Central and Northern Europe, economic growth is stable. The USA has also shown positive economic development. The continuous expansion of the activities of the producing subsidiaries KNAPP AB, KNAPP Systemintegration GmbH, and Drkopp Frdertechnik GmbH, offers another chance as their revenues are likely to increase due to the present level of orders. The strategy to improve the satisfaction of our customers was successfully realized by strengthening customer services. An increase in turnover is also expected in this area. Based on the high level of orders and the quality of the offer projects, we continue to anticipate an organic growth of about 10 percent.

Sustainability,
a contemporary issue
What are the demands of our customers what concepts can KNAPP offer? This always depends on the relevant sector, which is why we focus on a few selected sectors. In the end, it always comes down to the same topic: to work with the least number of goods movements as possible within the warehouse. We have created pioneering solutions in this field with the all-in shuttle, the flexible warehouse and the multichannel warehouse. The goods are moved as little as possible, which is a major contribution to sustainability. After all it is much better not to move articles at all, than to move them using less energy. Further trends are the goods-to-person principle and the maximum use of floor space, which means storing goods at heights. Of course energy consumption and energy efficiency are always an issue. With energy consumption of 510 percent compared to conventional AS/ RS, we took a big step forward with our shuttles. And the quality aspect: each quality outlier consumes unnecessary energy which means we have to avoid making mistakes
How will KNAPP influence the market in the future? The next trend that we are setting is the zero defect warehouse. For checks and quality assurance, entire warehouses are conventionally equipped with fully-automated check systems that are located after the picking areas. This means additional space, heating, cooling and lighting is required, which is not advantageous in terms of sustainability; also, the jobs are not attractive. We are headed on a completely different path: There are no more conventional check stations, instead we check each section in the warehouse in which activity is taking place. To this end we use image recognition and image processing system, both in the automatic areas as well as in manual areas. The principle is based on the quality management systems of the automobile sector, which is to prevent errors in the process and so no checks are required at the end.

Evolution
Todays shuttle systems simply dwarf the original OSR Shuttle systems: In the beginning, the maximum construction height was six meters and the rack length was limited to 30 meters. These dimensions were completely adequate for the time. Over the years, demands on the OSR Shuttle and the applications of this technology have grown, and with this the systems themselves have become larger. The product family has been completed by technologies such as the Fastbox, or the ergonomic Pick-it-Easy work stations. Originally designed as an efficient storage and picking system for the pharma branch, the OSR Shuttle now covers an almost unlimited product spectrum, and unifies various warehouse processes and sales channels. Through the use of OSR Shuttles, item range, warehouse processes and sales channels merge to form one harmonious framework the low complexity warehouse. The shuttle systems themselves have also grown considerably. The current OSR Shuttles tower as high as a 10 storey apartment building and have reached 100 meters in length. The systems have also become more flexible: Containers with goods weighing as much as 50 kg can be stored as much as four-deep. Adjustable telescope arms make it possible to handle warehouse containers varying from the size of an A5 sheet to the size of a europallet.

Mobility initiative
KNAPP AG also actively promotes employee awareness of environmentally-friendly transportation alternatives such as the bicycle or the train. The KNAPP fleet has been augmented by a small bicycle and e-bike fleet, and very short business trips can be made with the bikes. A significant improvement in mobility was made by the opening of a fast commuter train station in the immediate neighbourhood of the company headquarters. Many employees have already switched from cars to environmentally-friendly fast trains. Many KNAPP employees have decided to form carpools: these save time and money, as well as emissions. To help with the formation of carpools, KNAPP decided to use the online carpool portal flinc.org. Through the online portal, employees can comfortably search for an appropriate carpool on a mobile terminal. Participation in carpools has risen from 4 percent to 11 percent.
