MAHLE Aftermarket automates second Distribution Center with AutoStore empowered by Kardex
As a central core of MAHLE Aftermarket’s Digitalization and Automatization Strategy “Warehouse 4.0”, the Kardex AutoStore solution will enable the company to increase efficiencies and standardize operations on a global scale while achieving high customer service levels and quality goals.
In Fall 2021, MAHLE Aftermarket commissioned Kardex with the planning and implementation of a highly efficient AutoStore solution for their Distribution Center in the US (Olive Branch, MS), which has meanwhile been successfully commissioned. In March 2023, Kardex has put a second AutoStore solution into operation at MAHLE – this time in Décines-Charpieu (Lyon), France.
As a leading global parts and solutions provider to the Independent Aftermarket, MAHLE is seeing a shift in customer order profiles from larger pallet orders to smaller package orders in higher frequency. This results in an increasing number of shipping points per customer and shipping smaller quantities to more locations.
