Increased warehouse safety and time-efficiency at LOGOSYS Logistik
In the high-speed logistics world, managers search for innovative solutions to enhance efficiency and safety in their operations. LOGOSYS Logistik GmbH, a leader in logistics, has made a significant step forward by integrating TAWI vacuum lifters into their workflow. With a rich history spanning over 75 years, LOGOSYS Logistik specializes in pharmaceutical and chemical logistics. Their array of services encompasses storage, order picking, transportation, dispatch, and production logistics. With a dedicated workforce of 225 employees, LOGOSYS is committed to ongoing enhancements aimed at optimizing efficiency and performance for the benefit of their clientele.

Challenge: elevate warehouse safety – AND boost efficiency

The absence of technical aid in the daily movement of goods resulted in significant physical strain for warehouse workers at LOGOSYS, heightening the risk of injuries and downtime. Relying on traditional manual methods to handle heavy loads increased the likelihood of workplace accidents and hindered order processing speed, thus affecting overall productivity. This highlighted the necessity for a more supportive and contemporary work environment.

Main challenges:

  • Physical strain on employees
  • Warehouse safety concerns
  • Efficiency bottlenecks
  • Employee satisfaction

Solution: user-friendly vacuum lifters to improve warehouse safety

“It was important for us to relieve our employees in the warehouse. With TAWI’s vacuum lifters, we were able to address the challenges of manual handling by guaranteeing our employees a gentle and safe lifting process”, says Manuel Piechotta at LOGOSYS Logistik GmbH.
The vacuum lifters are used daily for order picking at two locations in the warehouse. By changing the vacuum attachments, the employees can easily move canisters, bagged goods and boxes up to 110lbs. Commonly, seven pallets stacked with different goods are handled with the vacuum lifters per day, about 218 pallets a month.

Results  - increased warehouse safety, employee satisfaction and productivity

Upon the introduction of TAWI vacuum lifters at LOGOSYS Logistik GmbH, a swift and significant relief in physical strain was observed among the employees.
Manuel Piechotta explains, “The work in the picking area has been improved so that we have fewer complaints and absence due to physical strain. These positive changes have not only contributed to an improved working environment, but also to a sustained increase in employee satisfaction.” “This solution not only contributed to improving occupational safety, but also increased the productivity of our picking process”, Manuel Piechotta continues. “This was of course also a decisive factor for the investment”.
