Workers keep the complex
material flow under control
using the UniWare-VISU
visualisation integrated with
the warehouse management
system. This feature shows
the state and processes inside
the warehouse in real time. In
fact, the intuitive warehouse
management system can
be operated from anywhere
in the warehouse, thanks
to mobile data terminals.
UniWare communicates with
the Cargospot host system,
which handles the overall coordination
of freight orders.
“Our WMS has interfaces
with all cargo hosts and
thereby ensures reliable processes in the sophisticated
cargo logistics. UniWare is currently in use at more than 12
international airports,” reports Project Manager Sebastian
Sommer of ACUNIS.
Flexibility in planning and construction
ACUNIS’s mandate involved the planning of the entire terminal,
including construction and realisation of the complete logistics
installation. Since the existing construction site was on a slight
incline and proved to be insufficiently stable, one half of the
terminal had to be lowered by eight metres.
“This development did not turn up until we were in
At the heart of the operation is an intuitive
warehouse management system
the planning phase and
demanded the utmost in
flexibility from us. We had
to build another road and
plan lifts to compensate for
the difference in elevation,”
comments Sommer. Using
the solutions suggested by
ACUNIS, construction costs
for the terminal still stayed
within the forecast budget,
despite the new design
requirements. Finally, the state
carrier is already prepared for
any future expansion of the
facility, thanks to a planned
addition to the terminal to
accommodate 1.2m tonnes
per year.
