Thus in each lift cluster, up to four Hänel Lean-Lift® systems simultaneously deliver the requested items for picking at an ergonomic height. Thanks to parallel prepositioning at all six lift units, even large numbers of orders can be processed very quickly. Error-free identification of the requisite item with Hänel Pick-o-Light®-Vario Ergonomic and fast picking close to the nearby conveyor system Prepositioning in the Lean-Lifts® enables parallel order processing at several access points simultaneously. This dramatically boosts picking efficiency All customer orders from the online shop are centrally entered in the JTL ERP system as job orders . . . . . . scanning the job order starts the picking process and all relevant multifunction containers in the lift cluster are prepositioned. Accurate item identification thanks to Hänel Pick-o-Light®-Vario Hänel Pick-o-Light®-Vario supports employees with its pick-by-light technology. The result: more accuracy and efficiency. When the container arrives at the access point, the item position on the container is clearly identified for the user with a dot of light. In addition, inventory quantities and the exact locations of items on the container are shown on the Hänel MP 14 N controller display. The items can then be removed from the system at an ergonomic height and placed on a nearby roller conveyor. Each item picked is confirmed on the controller, booked in the ERP system and placed in the red order box. In the meantime, the next requisite item is automatically brought to the access point. When all of the items for the order have been picked and put in the box at the first lift cluster, the box is transported by the roller conveyor system to the other lift clusters for completion. Scalable picking performance thanks to parallel prepositioning High picking performance that can be flexibly adjusted to order volume is a decisive advantage during seasonal peaks at HT Connect. This parallel prepositioning with several clustered Hänel Lean-Lift® systems results in fast order processing. To boost picking performance even more, two employees can work at one lift cluster during peak seasons when incoming orders are high. When order picking with the Hänel systems is completed, the items are sent to the packing line and then delivered to customers. Systematic real-time organization of more than 10,000 items is a basic prerequisite for smooth order processes in the online shop. This is possible thanks to the direct data communication between the Hänel controllers and the JTL ERP system. This keeps inventory information updated and guarantees that process operations are precisely logged. HT Connect express deliveries are thus ready for next-day delivery to online customers as promised. This results in high levels of customer satisfaction and contributes to constant business growth at HT Connect. In the near future the company plans to expand current warehouse operations by installing six more Hänel Lean-Lifts®. An additional advantage of Hänel lifts will come into play during this expansion because more storage capacity can be added at any time and adjusted to building conditions to ensure maximum space utilization. When the project is completed, HT Connect expects to have 48 Hänel Lean-Lifts® in operation. The Hänel Lean-Lifts® at HT Connect are the perfect e-commerce intralogistics solution and enable the company to profit from fast and reliable order processing and warehouse organization. To boost picking performance even more, two employees can work at one lift cluster during peak seasons The picking process is sequential from one lift to the next and continues until the items are finally sent to the packing station "To ensure express next-day deliveries, we currently operate 24 Hänel Lean-Lifts® that store more than 10,000 items and have a direct link to our ERP system. This enables our employees to process orders very efficiently, even during seasonal peaks, and that results in outstanding customer satisfaction." Horst Toeffels , Managing Director

Shift workers can use their authorization ID to access the lift system and reliably retrieve the tools they need To ensure maximum inventory availability, all put and pick operations are recorded by the Hänel user management solution All tools and holders required for a production process are included in a job order created by the TDM software. These orders are sent to Hänel-Soft®-N – the data is shown on the MP 14 N controller used by employees. User identity is verified on the controller via RFID chip, and the employee starts the job order with a barcode scanner. All of the lifts then bring containers with the requisite order items to the access point. Hänel Pick-o-Light®-Vario highlights the pick item location on the container when it arrives at the access point for fast and error-free retrieval. The pick quantities and item locations are shown on the controller display. When the pick is completed and confirmed, the employee moves on to the prepositioned container waiting at the second lift system. The first lift simultaneously brings the next requisite tool to the access point. This process continues back and forth until the entire job order is completed. The highly efficient warehouse processes, in conjunction with maximum ease of use and a seamless IT linkup, make the Hänel Lean-Lift® solution at KMWE the perfect high-tech tool depot. Hänel Pick-o-Light®-Vario points out the exact position of a requested item on the container, even when hundreds of articles are available The Hänel vertical lifts in the central tool depot provide tools for 60 machining centers inside the production facility Even large orders are processed quickly and effi ciently thanks to intelligent prepositioning of the requisite containers in several lift systems "The Hänel Lean-Lift® systems ensure that our tools are available at all times.

Energy savings thanks to balanced loads Air Cost Control near Toulouse has 12 Hänel Rotomat® systems with Hänel EcoLoad® in operation Air Cost Control is a global specialist in the distribution of electrical aircraft components. One of its clients is the German-French aircraft consortium AIRBUS. Air Cost Control offers direct access to thou- sands of individual parts and complex aircraft components. A large number of these are always in stock and available to the customers at all times. To cope with this demanding logistical task, the company worldwide relies on the powerful and versatile storage systems from Hänel. In its distribution centers in Germany, France and the USA, Air Cost Control operates a total of 37 Hänel storage systems. The Hänel Lean-Lift® is the optimum storage system for medium to large-sized components. The containers and storage boxes are dimen- sioned so that the available container space is used to best advantage. The Hänel Rotomat® – efficient small parts storage The storage and error-free retrieval of thou- sands of small parts is a major challenge. The Hänel Rotomat® is based on the vertical carousel principle, making it ideal for picking large numbers of diverse small parts. The Hänel EcoLoad® provides operators with loading recommendations to keep the system carriers in balance. If items in storage are evenly balanced, payloads on the carriers can be moved with very little energy. Individual parts are assigned item numbers before they are sorted and put into plastic bins that are placed on the carriers of the Hänel Rotomat®. The carriers rotate so that the requested articles are brought directly to the access point where they can be retrieved ergonomically from the plastic bins. Thanks to the wear-resistant stainless steel work counter, the plastic storage bins are easy to slide and move.

M & M International Louisiana, USA The family-owned business, with headquarters in Broussard, Louisiana, is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of valves. M & M International specializes in safety and high-pressure valves for the oil and gas industry. For example, special M & M valves are installed above the blowout preventer at oil drilling sites. For many decades the company has continued to grow due to its many unique and innovative designs. The manufacturing site was expanded just a few years ago. In addition to larger production facilities, a new materials warehouse was also built. Clear overview of parts M & M International relies on dependable Hänel storage technology for its inventory of valve components. Two heavy-duty Hänel Lean-Lifts® and one Hänel Rotomat® storage system are in operation. An order for specific items is generated whenever the production area needs valve assemblies. This order is recorded using a barcode scanner at a computer terminal near the lift systems. The company’s own software includes data about the stored components, such as quantity and specific storage locations in the systems. Once the container or shelf number is entered, the required item is transported to the access point where retrieval is confirmed on the Hänel system terminal. Heavy valve components made of stainless steel are kept in both vertical lift systems. All seals, gaskets and ball bearings are stored in the Rotomat® system. Valves are preassembled at the Hänel access and retrieval areas before being sent to the production area. Benefits of component storage The multifunction containers in the Lean-Lift® can be configured in response to various storage requirements. This ensures compact and well-balanced vertical storage of heavy loads – from floor to ceiling – within an extremely small footprint. What’s more, the UV-sensitive rubber seals stored in the Rotomat® are shielded from light and thus remain elastic. Parallel picking with the three Lean-Lift® storage systems speeds up the entire process of delivering preassembled valves to the production area. Hänel systems are also known for their benefits in terms of ergonomics. The Lean-Lift® containers can be pulled right out of the access point so that they rest on the support rails. And the Hänel transport cart can even carry a fully loaded container.

The management solution integrated as a standard feature in the lift controllers allocates the storage positions depending on the size of the bins or boxes. Optimized intralogistics processes with the Hänel interface linking storage systems to SAP If components from the storage system are required for post-series production, SAP creates an order and sends a transport command via the SOAP interface to the Hänel systems. At the same time, a retrieval order is printed and the barcode on the order is scanned to start the retrieval process. After order confirmation, the Hänel Rotomat® immediately transports the requisite shelf to the access point, and the Hänel compartment and sub-level indicator shows the employee which box contains the items requested. The entire box is retrieved and then sent to the assembly line. Worldwide communication through a central ERP infrastructure The central ERP infrastructure supports global communication among all company sites. For example, thanks to the integration of the Hänel Rotomat® systems via SOAP interface, even items from remaining stocks at other sites can be requested. The entire inventory status data is available at all times and at all company locations worldwide. Saving valuable production floor space and the seamless middleware-free SAP integration were key factors that influenced the Bosch Blaichach/Immenstadt decision to adopt the Hänel intralogistics solution!

The portfolio includes a complete range of aircraft replacement parts such as engines, auxiliary power units and wing components. Additional items such as oils, lubricants and sealants and diverse hardware components are also offered. Originally the company relied on a simple pallet storage concept, but after just a few years Allaero was confronted with a number of issues. Parts retrieval was not ergonomic, and the capacity for storing components of varying sizes and shapes was reaching its limits. Even after the installation of two Hänel Lean-Lifts® in 2009, the need for storage space to accommodate aircraft parts continued to grow. Today 12 Hänel Lean-Lifts® are in operation at the company’s site in Crawley. To store large components safely and reliably, two Hänel lifts were equipped with an extra-high access point. Components measuring up to 1,350 mm in height can be stored in the systems with a high degree of ergonomics, not to mention space savings. The Hänel Lean-Lift® is especially well-suited for storing small and medium-sized parts. Customized system mechanisms for storing components like wheels and landing gear make the Hänel Lean-Lift® a universal storage solution. Another advantage for employees is the extraordinary ease of use derived from the ergonomic provisioning of various aircraft components. Accurate identification of items in storage is ensured with appropriate labeling. The storage system cluster is managed centrally with the MP 100 D control system. A complete inventory list of all the items stored in each lift system can be requested at any time from the control terminal. Thus employees have a complete and updated overview of the storage situation at all times. Three Lean-Lifts® equipped with EcoDrive® optimize the energy footprint of warehouse operations through intelligent energy recovery. For storing complete aircraft wings, one extra-wide Lean-Lift® is being added to the Hänel cluster. Next year Allaero will achieve its ultimate goal of having its complete range of products stored exclusively in Hänel lift systems. The fast provisioning of items enables Allaero to fill and ship orders within just 15 minutes after receipt.

Allaero Limited | Crawley, West Sussex, UK Compact storage of aircraft parts of various sizes Allaero Limited, founded in 1988 and located between London’s Gatwick and Heathrow airports, delivers high-quality aviation products. The portfolio includes a complete range of aircraft replacement parts such as engines, auxiliary power units and wing components. Additional items such as oils, lubricants and sealants and diverse hardware components are also offered. Originally the company relied on a simple pallet storage concept, but after just a few years Allaero was confronted with a number of issues. Parts retrieval was not ergonomic, and the capacity for storing components of varying sizes and shapes was reaching its limits. Even after the installation of two Hänel Lean-Lifts® in 2009, the need for storage space to accommodate aircraft parts continued to grow. Today 12 Hänel Lean-Lifts® are in operation at the company’s site in Crawley. To store large components safely and reliably, two Hänel lifts were equipped with an extra-high access point. Components measuring up to 1,350 mm in height can be stored in the systems with a high degree of ergonomics, not to mention space savings. The Hänel Lean-Lift® is especially well-suited for storing small and medium-sized parts. Customized system mechanisms for storing components like wheels and landing gear make the Hänel Lean-Lift® a universal storage solution. Another advantage for employees is the extraordinary ease of use derived from the ergonomic provisioning of various aircraft components. Accurate identification of items in storage is ensured with appropriate labeling. The storage system cluster is managed centrally with the MP 100 D control system. A complete inventory list of all the items stored in each lift system can be requested at any time from the control terminal. Thus employees have a complete and updated overview of the storage situation at all times. Three Lean-Lifts® equipped with EcoDrive® optimize the energy footprint of warehouse operations through intelligent energy recovery. For storing complete aircraft wings, one extra-wide Lean-Lift® is being added to the Hänel cluster. Next year Allaero will achieve its ultimate goal of having its complete range of products stored exclusively in Hänel lift systems. The fast provisioning of items enables Allaero to fill and ship orders within just 15 minutes after receipt. The Allaero site is close to all major freight companies, including FedEx, UPS and the 24-hour AOG Service, thus contributing to the company’s reputation as a reliable and trust-worthy partner for all customers.

MAN Diesel & Turbo SE Oberhausen Futuristic order picking with the Hänel Lean-Lift® In addition to gas and steam turbines, MAN Diesel & Turbo SE also develops and manufactures axial and process gas screw compressors as well as expanders at the company site in Oberhausen, Germany. Two Hänel Lean-Lifts® are located at the center of the manufacturing facility for the central storage of small parts. The vertical lifts have a height of some nine meters and are equipped with 160 Hänel multifunction containers that provide more than 6,000 storage positions. The height-optimized storage in the Hänel Lean-Lift® has enough capacity to hold more than 9,000 small items needed for manufacturing and the shipping of products worldwide. The intralogistics solution is connected to the SAP ERP system through interfaces integrated in the Hänel MP 12 N-HostWeb controller. The lift cluster is managed and controlled directly in SAP via the SOAP protocol without the need for additional middleware. What’s more, there is a really new feature in this solution: Lift operators wear smartglasses that support order picking with the Hänel Lean-Lift® . The smartglasses communicate with SAP using a special app implemented by MAN. SAP sends transport commands via SOAP protocol directly to the Hänel lift controller. The innovative concept also includes a glove with an integrated scanner worn by employees so that both hands are free during order picking. This augmented reality application makes working with the Hänel lifts easier. The smartglasses are operated by touching a sensor module integrated in the device – this controls the Hänel lifts without any additional input to the controller . When SAP sends a transport command to a Hänel lift, the system brings the requisite storage container to the access point. A pick slip is printed at the same time. The employee uses the glove scanner to record data from the pick slip and then scans the barcode in the storage compartment. This scanning confirms the retrieval transaction in SAP and the inventory status is automatically updated. When the pick is confirmed by touching the sensor in the smartglasses, the Lean-Lift® automatically transports a new container to the access point – no other input is required. MAN Diesel & Turbo SE uses a priority-based system in SAP to ensure maximum performance and fast response times. Thus even orders with a low priority are efficiently processed at just the right time. Every order item is processed according to a time-optimized schedule. In other words, when a component from the first lift is being picked and packed, the second lift system is already bringing another container with the next item to the access point. Hänel Lean-Lifts® in the High-Speed Generation also boost picking performance dramatically. The MAN intralogistics solution is also unique when it comes to the ergonomic requirements of employees. All items are weighed before being placed in the storage system. A ‘traffic light’ system shows where components of various weights should be placed on the containers. This is helpful for employees with disabilities . The City of Oberhausen even provided some funding for this solution from budgets earmarked for workers with special needs. The integration of the SOAP protocol in the Hänel controller supports direct communication channels to various ERP systems. The MP 12 N controller then serves as the terminal for the host system! Two Hänel Lean-Lifts® over nine meters high installed as central storage for small parts . . . after retrieval, the compartment number is manually scanned and automatically booked in SAP Smartglasses show exactly where specific items are stored . . . 'Controlling Hänel Lean-Lifts® through smartglasses via dedicated SAP app is a ground-breaking industry innovation. The smartglasses do more than just display all pick and put transactions: They also generate transport commands for the Hänel Lean-Lifts® via the SOAP interface.' Malte Sietz Head of Intralogistics

That is why central materials warehouse is equipped with two Hänel Rotomat® storage lifts and two Hänel Lean-Lifts®. Different components, small parts and connectors are stored here and compiled for processing in production in accordance with the order. Integrated warehouse management combined with ERPsupported customer orders The Hänel storage lifts are controlled by the MP 12 N compact controller featuring integrated warehouse management. This enables direct access to the storage locations, article numbers and storage quantities via the controller during picking. Customer orders are generated via the ERP system and delivered as a picking order. Entering the article number on the lift control automatically transports the respective order item to the removal point. The quantity taken is confirmed and the item is also documented in the ERP system. Once an order has been compiled, it is transferred to the production department for further processing. In collaboration with Hänel’s specialists, the company is already working on linking Hänel’s lift controls directly to the ERP system. Subsequent expansion of storage capacity through relocation The company’s steady growth has also increased its need for storage space. Adding an eight-meter high Hänel Lean-Lift® to the outer shell of the company building enabled DD Kabelkonfektion Dropulic to enormously expand its storage capacity. Working in close collaboration with Hänel’s experts, the company has successfully created the optimum storage solution for all of its logistics requirements. Ten Hänel warehouse lifts located around the facility now effectively support employees during their daily work. The Hänel lifts offer enormous space savings in locations where space is at a premium, thus enabling production capacities to be increased in the future. DD Kabelkonfektion Dropulic has relied on Hänel’s innovative storage solutions for more than 20 years. In addition to the quick access and flexible application options, Hänel’s proven quality was a key argument in favor of the successive addition of further storage lifts. The central tool storage combined with additional small parts storage for material provision by customers only requires a few square meters of floor space Numerous special tools for cable assembly are space-savingly organized into multifunctional sets of drawers The smooth-running drawers with telescopic extension are simply unlocked via the handle and provide tidy storage space The Hänel Lean-Lift® can be integrated into the existing building structure and creates additional capacity thanks to the external storage location Small parts and bulk materials are compiled for further processing. The articles are checked via QR code scanner A further Hänel Rotomat® storage lift is used in the shipping department as a space-saving solution for the resource-saving storage of blanks and cable remnants Thanks to the multifunctional carriers with folding fronts, even roll goods can be provided safely, space-savingly and ergonomically via the Hänel Rotomat® storage lift and can be prepared for further processing directly on the worktop "The ten storage lifts from Hänel enable us to make optimum use of every square centimeter of our warehouse while simultaneously simplifying the handling of tools and materials – efficiency, convenience and safety in perfect harmony."

Hänel EcoLoad® Energy-efficient loading A smart energy conservation concept is also available for the Hänel Rotomat® As its name suggests, the Hänel Rotomat® is based on rotation and functions much like a Ferris wheel. This vertical carousel principle ensures that the Hänel storage system is very energy efficient by design when handling balanced loads. If items put into the storage system are carefully arranged to ensure balanced payloads, the energy needed for the rotational movement of the system carriers is minimized. This is where Hänel EcoLoad® helps system operators by providing them with loading recommendations via the control terminal. What’s more, Hänel uses quality high-end components when manufacturing its storage systems – these components reduce friction and make rotational movement in the systems much smoother. Well-balanced loads on all of the carriers throughout the entire storage system reduce energy consumption considerably. If items in storage are kept in balance, even heavy payloads can be moved with very little energy. Hänel EcoLoad® monitors the load status of the Hänel Rotomat® continuously. The Hänel microprocessor controller – in conjunction with Hänel EcoLoad® tells system operators how stored items can be optimally distributed across the various carriers. This also makes sure that payloads are kept in balance when systems are in operation. If system operators follow the recommen- dations, the entire inventory stored inside the storage system is kept in nearly perfect balance, and that maximizes overall energy efficiency. Hänel EcoLoad® reduces energy consumption and CO2 emissions! The weight distribution in the Hänel Rotomat® is measured continuously – if loads are uneven, a relocation of goods is recommended to optimize energy efficiency The weight distribution in the Hänel Rotomat® is measured continuously so that if a load becomes uneven, a relocation of goods is recommended to optimize energy efficiency

Lower Saxony’s Ministry of Economics, Labour and Transport in Hanover Hänel Rotomat® office carousels provide a workplace for people with severe visual impairment The Economics Ministry creates specially adapted workplaces for people with disabilities. In this regional authority all the office supplies are organized centrally in a Hänel Rotomat® office carousel. What makes it special, though, is that the task is handled entirely by a person with severe visual impairment. All the office requisites are entered and sorted by category in a computer system with Braille input device. Specific articles can be selected via a search screen. The PC is used simultaneously as a control unit for the Hänel Rotomat® office carousel and brings the requested materials to the retrieval point. For added certainty, the search results and control commands can also be output over a loudspeaker. The different storage locations are marked in Braille additionally at the retrieval point. With all these adaptations, error-free access is ensured even though there is a wide variety of different items in storage. Our partner Dräger & Lienert in Marburg, Germany, in collaboration with Hänel specialists, used "DL Contact Manager" software to develop this feature for workers with vision loss. A safety curtain in front of the carousel prevents the operator from reaching inside accidently while it is running. The Hänel Rotomat® excels not only in terms of barrier-free design, but also with respect to flexibility. The dimensions of the carousel were adapted perfectly to the heritage-protected building so that the available space could be used to best advantage. The optimized partitioning of the carriers with drawer modules and sub-levels allow a wide range of office supplies to be stored compactly in the Hänel Rotomat®. Another barrier-free solution from the Hänel specialists!

Karl-Bruno Hänel In Memoriam Kurt Velmeke remembers a loyal and dedicated colleague – excerpt from the eulogy for Karl-Bruno Hänel Karl-Bruno Hänel September 3, 1934 – June 24, 2014 Karl-Bruno Hänel was associated with Hänel Office and Storage Systems from the company’s very beginning. In 1957, Hänel was the first manufacturer in Europe to start series production of filing carousels based on the Ferris wheel principle. And Karl-Bruno Hänel played a key role in this development. He was the Chief Plant Manager of the manufacturing facility in Bad Friedrichshall until his retirement in 2004. He experienced and contributed to the history of the company founded by his uncle, Gerhard Hänel. The countless innovations developed by Gerhard Hänel were implemented and put into practice by Karl-Bruno Hänel. He collaborated with Gerhard Hänel on every major development. We will gratefully remember Karl-Bruno Hänel for his many years of loyalty and dedication to our company. The Management and Staff of Hänel Office and Storage Systems Even in childhood Karl-Bruno Hänel was fascinated by technology Dear Karl-Bruno, You can be sure that your achievements in life will not be forgotten, and that the Hänel family will continue the business just as you would have done. Thanks to your tireless efforts, Hänel today is a successful business enterprise based on a long tradition of innovation. Knowing you personally truly enriched my life. I consider myself quite lucky in having had the privilege of working successfully with you, and having had such a trusted colleague and friend at my side. I am extremely grateful to you, and all of Hänel’s employees are thankful for your achievements. You were quite unique and served as a genuine role model for us all. You will not be forgotten. Kurt Velmeke Having the privilege of delivering the eulogy for Karl-Bruno was a very emotional moment in my life. “It is certainly much more difficult to respectfully honor someone who has passed away than to praise someone in person for many achievements in life. Karl-Bruno was always astute and attentive, so I am sure that he will listen very carefully from above to my remarks today. Karl-Bruno and I met for the first time in the late 1960s. Even then he was a trusted consultant and confidant of Mr. Hänel Sr. and his dear wife. I was working as an assistant to the owner of a company that was a Hänel customer. During the course of our conversation, I had the impression that I had earned his trust. This was the beginning of a wonderful professional and personal relationship spanning nearly 50 years. It may sound unbelievable, but during that time we never had any personal confrontations. Of course, there were differences of opinion from time to time, especially when it came to technical matters, where his expertise was far superior to my know-how. Some of the product ideas I suggested just made him shake his head, but he would go off and then come back sometime later with just the right technical solution. He always made sure that manufacturing operations were geared toward supporting the sale of Hänel products in the best way possible. Mr. Hänel Sr. and Karl-Bruno had developed an advanced portfolio of products, but the next step involved marketing these innovations on a large scale. Thus the company presented its product line for the first time at the Hanover Fair in 1971, and Karl-Bruno was right there for a full week to give his support to all of us. These were very exciting days, and as we worked together in promoting Hänel products and generating customer leads, both of us seemed to grow closer. Karl-Bruno contributed to the relaxed, friendly and often humorous atmosphere among the staff at the conclusion of each day in Hanover. But during the day, he was always very professional, serious and focused. This was the era in which Karl-Bruno and Mr. Hänel Sr. realized countless technical innovations. Karl-Bruno never hesitated to find solutions to the challenges posed by promising ideas and feasible applications. Words cannot describe all that Karl-Bruno achieved for the company and its employees. He listened to what employees had to say, and was always ready to help in every way he could. Yes, at times he could lose his temper, but that was understandable in difficult situations. He was never vindictive and always remained open and honest. Karl-Bruno was indeed one of a kind.” Kurt Velmeke, Sales Manager 1971 – 2011 A Hänel service engineer inspects one of the very first office carousels

MSC Technologies, 76297 Stutensee, Germany Booking in SAP without middleware via SOAP interface on the Hänel Rotomat® controller MSC Technologies, with headquarters in Stutensee, Germany, is a leading maker of embedded systems based on computer-on-modules (COMs), as well as displays and touch systems. The company operates its own manufacturing facilities in Europe. It operates 12 Hänel Rotomat® storage systems which are integrated over two floors. The production building was designed so that the 24 retrieval points for incoming goods on the ground floor could be linked up with the production area located on the first floor. All access points are equipped with automatic sliding doors to ensure smooth and safe order picking on both floors of the building. SAP dialogs directly on the intelligent Hänel MP 14 N-HostWeb controller The entire manufacturing process at MSC Technologies is organized on the basis of SAP. All storage positions are recorded and managed in the ERP system. This overarching storage position management is based on organized chaos and designed according to the FIFO principle. The SAP dialogs are displayed directly on the Hänel MP 14 N control unit. System operators can seamlessly communicate with the ERP system via the SOAP interface. Modern browser technology transforms the storage system control unit into an SAP terminal. All warehouse transactions are booked in SAP in real time – without the need for additional middleware. This ensures that the current inventory quantities recorded in the ERP system are available for appended processes. The Hänel Rotomat® – the link between incoming goods and production processes Incoming goods are recorded at the SAP terminal and assigned a barcode. Then the new items are scanned to create a putaway order in SAP. This job order is started on the storage system. SAP determines and assigns the storage position, and the Hänel Rotomat® immediately brings the appropriate carrier to the access point. The user scans the new item and then puts it on the lift carrier. After confirmation on the digital picking display, SAP allocates the storage position to the scanned item. Pick lists for items needed at the production lines are also generated in SAP. These pick jobs are started with the Hänel controller. The Rotomat® –with its optimized routing – brings items to the access point efficiently. The Hänel compartment and sub-level indicators show precisely where requested items are located on the container to ensure error-free retrieval. The digital picking display provides additional information such as item and batch numbers directly at the retrieval point. The system operator scans the item barcode so that it can be communicated to SAP. If all of the data matches up, the digital picking display gives the green light. Once the trans-action is confirmed, the position is booked in SAP and the next item is brought to the access point for retrieval. Some of the orders at MSC Technologies have more than 1,000 item positions. Thanks to parallel picking with several storage lifts, even these huge orders can be processed rather quickly. Optimal ESD protection in Hänel Rotomat® systems for SMD storage The Hänel lifts are used to store very large quantities of diverse SMD components. The antistatic finish of the Hänel Rotomat® ESD storage system provides optimal protection against electrostatic damage – this is critical when it comes to sensitive electronic devices. The SMD components are mainly kept on reels which are used for automated pick-and-place manufacturing machines. Reels are mounted on special ESD containers with separators that allow for up to 35 storage positions per container. More than 40,000 storage positions within a footprint of just 82 m2 Hänel Rotomat® lift systems are ideal for the compact storage of diverse small items. At MSC Technologies, for example, the 12 Hänel Rotomat® systems can store more than 40,000 defined items within a minimum of space. The total footprint is about 82 m2 – and the lift systems have a height of 8 m – so that a storage volume of some 600 m3 is provided by the Hänel systems. The Rotomat® principle ensures that items are brought directly to the access point for quick and ergonomic retrieval. Space savings, cost reduction and the direct interface to SAP were the main factors in this customer’s decision to invest in Hänel Rotomat® storage systems. What’s more, MSC Technologies provides computer-on-modules (COMs) that are manufactured for Hänel high-performance controllers. The green LED on the Hänel digital picking display tells the user that the requested item has been correctly identified Diverse SMD components are neatly, securely and safely stored in the Hänel Rotomat® storage system Even job orders having hundreds of positions are completed within a very short time thanks to parallel picking processes All ERP-driven warehouse processes are coordinated via the SAP terminal SAP content is displayed on the SOAP web service interface of the Hänel MP 14 N controller and processed in real time "Space, cost and SAP interface – those were the three key factors that influenced our decision in favor of Hänel. We were able to store sensitive electronic components directly in the production area on two floors and thus save space and money. The interface to our SAP WMS rounds off the solution and gives us much faster access to items in storage." Etem Memis , Manager Trade Compliance & Logistics, Avnet Integrated

Brezan, Ede, NL High-performance order picking and modern styling Together with Groenewout Consulting in Breda and Hänel intralogistics experts, Brezan designed a very efficient storage solution for small parts – and the design of the systems is also stylish and appealing. 18 Hänel Lean-Lifts® with a customized special premium finish and designed for smooth and efficient logistics are the eye-catching highlight of the Brezan distribution center. The lift systems utilize the entire height of the warehouse building and thus provide a huge amount of storage capacity directly next to the pallet storage area. The Pick and Drop to Light system has been perfected in this solution. Pick lists are transmitted via central software directly to the lift systems. The systems are clustered in groups each having three storage units, each with a specific colour (red, green or blue). The colours are displayed on the controllers and on special display screens mounted above the access points. Boxes containing customer orders are organized on pick trolleys which are positioned directly opposite each lift group. The system knows which orders in the trolley need to be processed and automatically brings the right containers to the access point of the storage lifts. Operator safety is ensured during the automated process thanks to a threshold switch and photoelectric light curtain positioned just in front of the access point. A diode lights up above the order picking boxes – the colour of the diode indicates which lift has the required article. The operator thus knows from which lift system the item must be retrieved. At the retrieval area Hänel Pick-o-Light®-Vario shines a light beam on the required item so that order picking errors are nearly impossible. The number of articles to be picked is shown on the control display. The picked items are placed in the order box, and the employee confirms each pick. Then the diode changes colour to show which lift contains the next article on the pick list. The container in the Hänel Lean-Lift® automatically returns to its original position and is ready to deliver the next item to the retrieval area. When running at full capacity, four employees can operate 18 Hänel Lean-Lifts® at the same time thanks to the Pick and Drop to Light system – it’s all fast and error-free. Perfect combination of performance and design Ergonomic and safe retrieval with automatic prepositioning and photoelectric light curtain with safety switch Error-free picks for items even in the smallest container compartments thanks to Pick-o-Light®-Vario Short distances and direct confirmation of picks opposite the retrieval point

Zollner Elektronik AG Optimization of electronic component production Zollner Elektronik AG is a leading EMS provider in Germany that develops and manufactures electronic components and mechatronic systems. The company employs more than 8,000 people at 16 sites worldwide. Efficiency, flexibility and the finest quality are the hallmarks of production at Zollner, where SMDs (Surface Mounted Devices) are manufactured on five assembly lines at the company's facilities in Untergeschwandt, Germany. The product range includes electronic components, small modules and controllers for industrial, aerospace and security applications. Material and parts must be available at all times to ensure that manual and automated manufacturing processes run smoothly and without interruption. When Zollner merged two of its facilities, more space was needed to store the extensive range of items needed for production. Thanks to space-saving Hänel storage systems, Zollner was able to reorganize its storage area for SMD production and extend capacity considerably. When material is put into the storage systems, a photoelectric light beam measures the height of the items. This enables the systems to automatically determine the best storage position for each item – up to 60 percent of the space normally required can thus be saved. Almost all of the 7,000 diverse items needed for assembly are roll products which are stored on reels in the Hänel systems. The SAP host system prints out parts lists for every new job. Based on this information, the items are retrieved from four Hänel Lean-Lifts® and delivered in batches to the five assembly lines. When employees scan the barcodes on the lists, or enter article numbers using the touch screen on the Hänel control terminal, the systems quickly transport the correct containers to the access points. The simultaneous operation of several Lean-Lifts® considerably improves picking performance. What's more, a complete inventory status report is always available thanks to the microprocessor controllers that communicate with the SAP host system through a specially programmed interface. All containers have an antistatic finish to prevent ESD damage. Containers can be easily pulled out of the systems at each retrieval point for convenient access to the reels in storage. Even the plastic sliders for the containers have a resistance of less than 10.6 ohms. The folding rails at both sides of the retrieval area are used to hold the carrier when pulled out of the lift system – they are equipped with antistatic plastic rollers. All Lean-Lifts® are connected to the earthing system at the Zollner facility. This system is inspected at regular intervals. In addition to ESD protection, all sensitive electronic items stored in the Hänel systems are shielded from light and dust.

All containers have an antistatic finish to prevent ESD damage. Containers can be easily pulled out of the systems at each retrieval point for convenient access to the reels in storage. Even the plastic sliders for the containers have a resistance of less than 10.6 ohms. The folding rails at both sides of the retrieval area are used to hold the carrier when pulled out of the lift system – they are equipped with antistatic plastic rollers. All Lean-Lifts® are connected to the earthing system at the Zollner facility. This system is inspected at regular intervals. In addition to ESD protection, all sensitive electronic items stored in the Hänel systems are shielded from light and dust.

Alliance Automotive Group Benelux, Ede, Netherlands High-performance order picking and modern styling Together with Groenewout Consulting in Breda and Hänel intralogistics experts, AAG Benelux designed a very efficient storage solution for small parts – and the design of the systems is also stylish and appealing. 12 Hänel Lean-Lifts® with a customized special premium finish and designed for smooth and efficient logistics are the eye-catching highlight of the AAG Benelux distribution center. The lift systems utilize the entire height of the warehouse building and thus provide a huge amount of storage capacity directly next to the pallet storage area. The Pick and Drop to Light system has been perfected in this solution. Pick lists are transmitted via central software directly to the lift systems. The systems are clustered in groups each having three storage units, each with a specific colour (red, green or blue). The colours are displayed on the controllers and on special display screens mounted above the access points. Boxes containing customer orders are organized on pick trolleys which are positioned directly opposite each lift group. The system knows which orders in the trolley need to be processed and automatically brings the right containers to the access point of the storage lifts. Operator safety is ensured during the automated process thanks to a threshold switch and photoelectric light curtain positioned just in front of the access point. A diode lights up above the order picking boxes – the colour of the diode indicates which lift has the required article. The operator thus knows from which lift system the item must be retrieved. At the retrieval area Hänel Pick-o-Light®-Vario shines a light beam on the required item so that order picking errors are nearly impossible. The number of articles to be picked is shown on the control display. The picked items are placed in the order box, and the employee confirms each pick. Then the diode changes colour to show which lift contains the next article on the pick list. The container in the Hänel Lean-Lift® automatically returns to its original position and is ready to deliver the next item to the retrieval area. When running at full capacity, four employees can operate 12 Hänel Lean-Lifts® at the same time thanks to the Pick and Drop to Light system – it’s all fast and error-free. Perfect combination of performance and design Ergonomic and safe retrieval with automatic prepositioning and photoelectric light curtain with safety switch Error-free picks for items even in the smallest container compartments thanks to Pick-o-Light®-Vario Short distances and direct confirmation of picks opposite the retrieval point

These items can be retrieved quickly and flexibly as needed. One controller for all requirements The Lean-Lift® systems are operated with the compact Hänel MP 12 N controller. The systems are easy to use thanks to a wide range of functions. Hänel intralogistics solutions have made a major contribution to optimizing warehouse processes and improving efficiency at the customer’s site. In addition to saving space and time, the Hänel solutions reliably safeguard the valuable inventory while also reducing costs. Diverse items and bulk material are neatly stored in boxes on the multifunction containers A parallel solution comprised of Lean-Lift® and Rotomat® systems dramatically speeds up picking and shipping processes Even the smallest areas can be optimally used for vertical storage Two Hänel Lean-Lift® systems serve as a central tool depot for CNC machines Items needed for machine retooling are retrieved from the space-saving Hänel Rotomat®

The Hänel Multi-Space® Order picking on 7 floors Thanks to its modular design, the Hänel Multi-Space® can be adapted to fit any situation. vogel-hemer is a leading electrical engineering company near Dortmund, Germany, specializing in the maintenance and modernization of industrial systems. The company offers customers a wide range of services, from repair work to complete system overhaul. It also supplies well-known business enterprises with new electronic components, such as pumps, drive units and electric motors. To meet growing business and storage demands, especially for spare parts and components, Vogel expanded its floor space up to some 6,000 m2. The Multi-Space® from Hänel plays a decisive role in the efficiency of the new warehouse infrastructure. A tower-like shaft with a height of more than 25 meters is located at the center of the newly constructed building. This shaft rises from the foundation and extends upward to a special expanded section of the roof. The Hänel Multi-Space® is completely integrated in the shaft through all 7 floors in the building. With a height of some 25 meters and being nearly 6 meters wide, the Hänel Multi-Space® provides a remarkable storage area of some 550 m2 with a footprint that is just 24 m2. The Hänel Multi-Space® can hold up to 120 tons of stored goods while delivering maximum efficiency and saving space at the same time. The storage system, with a total of 6 retrieval points, is located in the center of the building and serves 5 different floors, so that employees in the receiving area, as well as those in the supervisory and administrative offices, have direct access to the total volume of stored items. The modular design, plus the options for flexible positioning of several retrieval areas in the infrastructure, make the Hänel Multi-Space® the perfect storage system for this unique logistics concept. The unique three-axis design of the extractor moves the requested multifunction containers from the storage position to the specified retrieval point with remarkable speed. Thanks to the high-speed features of this system, a total of 270 warehouse containers can be retrieved at very high rates. What’s more, an industrial storage system with these dimensions is also energy efficient and contributes to sustainability thanks to Hänel EcoDrive® technology. A frequency converter ensures that as much as 40 % of the energy required for each upward run of the extractor can be fed back into the power supply network each time the extractor descends. The Hänel Multi-Space® also makes for smooth and efficient shipping and receiving by supporting balanced order picking and inventory replenishment. Dual retrieval points mean that employees can fill several orders at the same time. And the Hänel high-speed door makes sure that individual access points are always safe and secure. Thus, at one access point items can be put into storage, while at another the operator can retrieve an additional container. Manfred Vogel and Jürgen Vogel Managing Directors Company: vogel-hemer Location: 58675 Hemer, Germany Employees: approx. 150 Industry: Electrical engineering, mechatronics, control technology Storage systems: 1 Hänel Multi-Space® Items stored: Electric motors, hoists, pumps, frequency converters and electronic components The Hänel Multi-Space® is integrated in a 25-meter vertical shaft extending through seven floors Several retrieval points distributed across 5 floors ensure fast and direct access to stored items. Using the Hänel support rails and two slew cranes, even extremely heavy parts can be retrieved conveniently and ergonomically. Enormous capacity density with height-optimized storage in the Hänel Multi-Space®. High throughput is achieved with two retrieval points that allow for simultaneous order picking. The containers can be pulled right out of the access point so that they rest on the support rails. This is an important feature – even the heaviest electric motors can be moved ergonomically with a crane and placed on the containers, with no obstacles to get in the way. One of the retrieval points is located near the supervisory office on the first floor. Due to its proximity to the workshops and the short walking distances, parts and components are quickly available when needed. In addition to assembly components and service parts, vogel-hemer also keeps all of its office materials, cleaning products and tools in the Hänel Multi-Space® . This saves space in the offices and workshops, and consumables are always available right where they are needed. The flexible Hänel Multi-Space® provides spacesaving and height-optimized storage for all kinds of items. Up to 100,000 articles can be stored intelligently thanks to Hänel lift control technology. The desired containers are requested using the control terminals ergonomically mounted at the side of all 6 storage systems. Access to specific containers is guided by the Hänel access code management system. This protects individual storage areas from unauthorized access – the operator must first enter a PIN to gain access to stored items. Since the Hänel Multi-Space® is completely integrated in the building and hardly accessible from the outside, enhanced fire protection is an important aspect. That is why Hänel engineers developed an effective fire extinguishing system especially for vogel-hemer. In the event of a fire, a network of pipes fills the entire Hänel Multi-Space® system with nitrogen gas. This fire extinguishing method is preferable to using water because nitrogen will not damage any of the articles in storage. Due to its flexible storage capacity and compact footprint, the Hänel Multi-Space® is easily integrated in existing building infrastructures. Direct access to stored items takes place on-site, where the articles are actually needed. Thus the Hänel Multi-Space® combines all of the advantages of Hänel industrial lift technology in one system. Hänel Multi-Space® – the new definition of vertical lift technology from Hänel! Compact, neat and central – all kinds of office materials are stored in one of the 270 containers in the Hänel Multi-Space®. Safe and secure access for the administrative office. Documents and office supplies are stored in the same Hänel Multi-Space® system, but they are safeguarded by a PIN code that is only available to authorized employees. In the event of a fire, a network of pipes fills the entire Hänel Multi-Space® system with nitrogen gas to protect stored items. Direct access at the retrieval point on the first floor. All service and assembly parts are always available in the supervisory office above the workshop.

Augmented Reality and Wearable Computing with Hänel Storage Systems Alliance with the innovative start-up nxtBase Traditional supply chains are undergoing fundamental change as a result of Industry 4.0. Efficient intralogistics solutions and the optimization of picking processes are decisive factors that are having an impact in this era of change. Hänel was among the first business enterprises to recognize the potential benefits that Augmented Reality and Wearable Computing could bring to logistics and manufacturing processes. Hänel also took the lead by adding these innovative technologies to its product portfolio in 2016. The information technology specialists at MAN collaborated with Hänel experts in one of the first projects that linked two Hänel Lean-Lift® systems to SAP and also enabled storage system operation via smartglasses . This project, conducted in collaboration with nxtBase, was the first solution of its kind worldwide which enabled the operation of a vertical storage system with an optical augmented reality device. This solution has been in productive operation ever since. It marks the arrival of a new era in terms of digital warehousing technologies – and Hänel’s advanced control systems already provide the ideal basis for operating and managing industrial storage systems directly with augmented reality devices. In its role as technology leader, Hänel has formed a global alliance with nxtBase, a specialist when it comes to AR products and voice recognition . The start-up has already contributed to several successful Hänel projects. nxtBase offers a product known as “Q” which is the world’s first augmented reality solution “To go.” Q is a combination of hardware and software which enables system operators to autonomously perform and document logistics processes, follow step-by-step instructions, and conduct QM/maintenance processes using an optical AR device with voice control. The process does not require a manual scanner or data input via keyboards. When using Hänel controllers equipped with an integrated SOAP interface , system operators can perform all warehouse and storage transactions via augmented reality in combination with voice control – the process even includes automatic booking in the ERP system. Voice control is available in many languages. The AR device displays all order picking information within the operator’s direct fi eld of vision. Direct visual control of the picking process prevents errors or mix-ups while also accelerating operations considerably. Ongoing further development of Hänel control technology and the innovative augmented reality concept support the implementation of this future-centric intralogistics solution without complexity and without additional middleware in nearly every kind of warehouse environment.

Optimal storage management for kanban production Thanks to parallel put and pick operations, the Hänel Lean-Lift® boosts daily picking performance while also saving enormous amounts of floor space. iNOEX has been a leader in modern extrusion technology for more than 30 years. The successful medium-sized business develops and produces sensor, measurement, process and control technology for the extrusion of pipes, profiles, cables and film. The engineering center at the new headquarters site in Melle, Germany, was consolidated with the manufacturing division. Innovative ultrasound, terahertz and gravimetric measurement systems can be tested and demonstrated on three actual extrusion production lines. iNOEX has invested in kanban flow production in order to achieve more manufacturing efficiency and flexibility. A key element in this production concept is a redesigned production warehouse area featuring five vertical Hänel Lean-Lift® storage systems. The former manually operated container storage area, based on industrial racks with a height of three meters, was reduced in size from 500 m2 to a footprint of just 50 m2 thanks to the modern Hänel Lean-Lift® storage cluster. "We needed this enormous space-savings in order to expand our manufacturing area. The Hänel lift systems are perfect for use in the kanban process, and they give us more flexibility to cope with current and future challenges," says Oliver Kallert, Head of Materials Management. iNOEX maintains an inventory of some 6,000 items stored in 10,000 storage positions in the systems. These items are kept in five different carton sizes and safely stored on 200 containers. Special articles for research and development projects are also kept in the space-saving systems, as well as a large number of components needed for prototypes and equipment produced in series. Even long and bulky items, such as cable conduits, are easily stored in the flexible Hänel systems.

Maximum picking speed with two Hänel Lean-Lifts® in parallel operation Higher performance with extractor prepositioning on several lift systems The Hänel Lean-Lift® is known for its extremely fast speed which supports efficient picking processes. Performance is also boosted by additional features like the access priority factor, which makes sure that frequently requested containers are always positioned close to the access point. Furthermore, the Hänel optimization cycle can improve storage operations through enhanced access time. Maximum performance for high demands In many areas, such as e-commerce order fulfillment and shipping, the requirements for picking rates are very high. Picking speed can be boosted dramatically by operating two or more Hänel Lean-Lift® systems simultaneously. Parallel operation is possible when inventory items are distributed across several lift systems. The Hänel microprocessor controller centrally manages the item storage positions and coordinates the sequence of transport commands. When a picking order is started, each lift simultaneously transports the requisite containers to the ergonomic access points. After picking the item from the first lift, the user can go directly to the second lift and retrieve the item at that access point. In the meantime, the extractor in the first lift is already bringing the next container into position for picking. Time and routing are optimized in this process. Parallel operation of two Hänel Lean-Lift® systems means that there are no waiting times. In fact, the time saved is a great advantage when compared with extra-wide vertical lifts or those with a dual access point. There is also no limit on the height of the items in storage – and that is an additional advantage. How the prepositioning principle works 1. A job having four different pick positions is started with the lift controller. The extractor in the left Hänel Lean-Lift® brings the first container (blue) to the access point. 2. While the user picks items from the first container (blue), the next container (green) is already prepositioned in the second access point. 3. The user confirms item retrieval from the blue container and then moves directly to the green container. In the meantime, the blue container is automatically transported back to its storage location and the third container (red) is moved to the access point. 4. As before, the user confirms the pick from the right lift and immediately moves over to the left lift to pick items from the fourth container (red) which is waiting there. 5. The yellow container for the final pick is already in the right access point and waiting for the user – the red container in the left lift is returned to storage. Parallel operation of two Hänel Lean-Lift® systems means no waiting times. This is a great advantage when compared with extra-wide vertical lifts or those with a dual access point. The much higher performance considerably boosts efficiency and delivers a quick return on investment. Items are neatly stored on Hänel multifunction containers to support ergonomic picking Even large orders are processed quickly and efficiently thanks to intelligent prepositioning of the requisite containers in several lift systems

Brose, Colón, Querétaro, Mexico High-tech production in Mexico with storage solutions ‘Made in Germany’ Brose puts its trust in German technology and relies on Hänel Lean-Lift® systems for an optimal supply of spare parts Brose is the world’s fourth largest family-owned automotive parts supplier. A Hänel Lean-Lift® was installed at the company site in Querétaro, Mexico, to store spare parts needed for production machinery. An oversized vertical lift is used to store many types of parts that are shipped to Brose sites around the world. Maximum loads and optimized storage organization boost capacity The Hänel Lean-Lift® has a height of nearly 9 m and can handle a total load capacity of 60 tons – the system holds spare parts needed for production machinery. The vertical Hänel lift has a very small footprint and features height-optimized storage to increase overall density. The parts are systematically stored on Hänel multifunction containers. The Hänel Lean-Lift utilizes the entire height of the building to ensure maximum storage capacity. The small footprint means that the automated system requires less floor space than conventional racks and shelves. The valuable space saved can thus be used for production purposes. The Hänel Lean-Lift® – faster processes, more precise inventory control and optimized shipping quality The reliable and efficient supply of spare parts is essential for smooth production processes. The central Brose ERP system sends picking data to the storage area. The compact Hänel MP 12 N controller is used for the picking process.

A Hänel Lean-Lift® was installed at the company site in Querétaro, Mexico, to store spare parts needed for production machinery. An oversized vertical lift is used to store many types of parts that are shipped to Brose sites around the world. Maximum loads and optimized storage organization boost capacity The Hänel Lean-Lift® has a height of nearly 9 m and can handle a total load capacity of 60 tons – the system holds spare parts needed for production machinery. The vertical Hänel lift has a very small footprint and features height-optimized storage to increase overall density. The parts are systematically stored on Hänel multifunction containers. The Hänel Lean-Lift utilizes the entire height of the building to ensure maximum storage capacity. The small footprint means that the automated system requires less floor space than conventional racks and shelves. The valuable space saved can thus be used for production purposes. The Hänel Lean-Lift® – faster processes, more precise inventory control and optimized shipping quality The reliable and efficient supply of spare parts is essential for smooth production processes. The central Brose ERP system sends picking data to the storage area. The compact Hänel MP 12 N controller is used for the picking process.

100 Years Gerhard Hänel An entrepreneur of distinction Gerhard Hänel devoted his whole life... Gerhard Hänel devoted his whole life... The youngest of four siblings, Gerhard Hänel was born in Lauter, Saxony, on June 30th, 1909. A fresh start in Bad Friedrichshall A fresh start in Bad Friedrichshall At the start of the ’50s Gerhard Hänel went to West Germany on business. The Hanel Paternoster The Hänel vertical carousel – an ingenious principle In 1957 he was the first person in Europe to series-produce filing carousels designed according to the Ferris wheel principle. A leader – an inspiration Memories from the perspective of a contemporary For almost 40 years I had the privilege of accompanying Gerhard Hänel through his professional life – 7 years as a business associate and 33 working for him directly. . bild text At the start of the ’50s Gerhard Hänel went to West Germany on business. It was here that he met his second wife Liselotte. After the wedding she accompanied her husband to East Germany where their first son Michael was born in 1951. ‘But with all the duplication of work, I always yearned for the free West and my former customers, who were now experiencing a revival.’ Quotation from G. Hänel Gerhard Hänel saw no commercial future in East Germany and sought a new opening in the West. This was where their second son Joachim was born in 1953. By 1952 he had relocated with his wife Liselotte to Stuttgart where Liselotte‘s parents lived and one year later started ‘from scratch’ in Bad Friedrichshall. Working from what he called a ‘wooden shed’ he built mobile cupboards and hairdressers’ cabinets. Business expanded quickly. Then one day when Gerhard Hänel saw some automated office carousels in an American brochure he thought: ‘I can do that.’ Gerhard bild2 text2 In 1957 he was the first person in Europe to series-produce filing carousels designed according to the Ferris wheel principle. His nephew Karl-Bruno Hänel supported him as Plant Manager from the very beginning, helping to put his ideas and developments into practice. The Hänel filing carousels were distributed through a renowned vendor of hanging folders until the end of the ‘60s. By 1958, following the purchase of a plot of land, he was able to increase output in a newly built production hall. With demand increasing steadily, production was expanded further in 1968, and another manufacturing plant was set up in Wiesentheid. In the same year he also founded the Hänel Gear Factory, which was initially installed at the company headquarters then moved into its own building three years later. In 1971 the first Hänel filing carousel was sold under the name of ‘Mikros’ as the Hänel company‘s own product. Thanks to Gerhard Hänel‘s continuous refinement of the Ferris wheel principle, he was soon able to add heavy-duty vertical carousels for industrial use to his product portfolio. The Hänel Rotomat® industrial carousels were born. 1972 saw the laying of the foundation stone for Hänel Plant 3 in Altstätten, Switzerland. Now Kurt Velmeke was successfully expanding sales and Dieter Carl promoting the export of Hänel Rotomat® carousels. Branches were established in the US, France and the Netherlands. At the age of 65 he handed over the management of the company to his two sons. The company of Hänel Office and Industrial Storage Systems has remained in the hands of the Hänel family since it was founded. But in Gerhard Hänel‘s view, this was no reason to take things easy. At 85 years of age he still played a decisive role in the development and production of the Hänel Lean-Lift® with vertical lift technology. Among other things he invented the Hänel profile wall. By doing so he set new standards in intralogistics. This ingenious design is still the basis for the reliability and durability of the Hänel Lean-Lift® and the Hänel Multi-Space® which was launched in 2005. With his business vision, Gerhard Hänel turned Hänel Office and Industrial Storage Systems into a globally active company with distributors in over 60 countries. Today Hänel Office and Industrial Storage Systems remains the world‘s oldest existing manufacturer of vertical carousels for the office! text3 For almost 40 years I had the privilege of accompanying Gerhard Hänel through his professional life – 7 years as a business associate and 33 working for him directly. Initially I came into contact with Mr. Hänel as his customer when I was working as Sales Manager for a renowned vendor of filing equipment. He supplied us with index-card and filing paternosters for resale purposes. During my many encounters with Mr. Hänel, I came to appreciate his straightforwardness, his technical expertise and his sincere and courteous manner. Mr. Hänel was not satisfied with simply producing systems to customer specification. He simultaneously developed an innovative range of card-index and filing carousels on his own initiative. These attracted a great deal of attention worldwide because of their revolutionary technology and cutting-edge design. Following the death of the owner of the company that had been his main customer, there was a gradual cessation of dealings between the two firms. Mr. Hänel wanted to detach himself from such dependencies so that he could later hand over to his sons a flourishing business with its own sales division. The second phase of my association with Mr. Hänel began on April 1st, 1971, when I came to work for him directly. When his company started its own sales activities, Mr. Hänel had two administrative employees in the in-house sales department and myself as Sales Manager. His entrepreneurial thinking, combined with an aptitude for incisive and quick decision-making, ensured a healthy, continuous upward trend. We worked together for 33 years – a long period which shaped me professionally and personally. On the rare occasions that our opinions differed, the debate always took place objectively without once escalating to the personal level. Gerhard Hänel had an exceptional ability to promote the company‘s interests in a goal-oriented way using his outstanding leadership qualities, while at the same time showing his employees their value and constantly motivating them in their shared tasks. Can there be any better résumé of one‘s life than to say: “Je ne regrette rien“. If I had to choose again today, I would without hesitation opt for the enlightening and personally fulfilling years I worked with Mr. Gerhard Hänel. Kurt Velmeke I couldn‘t have done it all... ‘I couldn‘t have done it all without my wife’ A swim early in the morning and then again in the evening – that‘s how Gerhard Hänel kept fit. . . . . . . . text4 ‘Ohne meine Frau hätte ich das alles nicht geschafft’ A swim early in the morning and then again in the evening – that‘s how Gerhard Hänel kept fit. He didn‘t need any other leisure activities: “The shop floor is my hobby”. Gerhard Hänel was a very disciplined person. “Moderation in all things” was his principle in life. Liselotte Hänel was a vital support to her husband throughout his life, both at home and at work. “If I hadn‘t had this woman as my life companion,” said Gerhard Hänel, “I couldn‘t have done it all”.

Fierthbauer GmbH, Esslingen-Zell, Germany Constant data synchronization between the Hänel MP 12 N controller and Navision Fierthbauer GmbH is part of a business organization that delivers systems to special vehicle manufacturers and engineering companies throughout Europe. Fierthbauer operates a Hänel Rotomat® storage system in its shipping department to boost picking processes for small parts. By fully exploiting the warehouse height – from floor to ceiling – overall storage density was increased to provide maximum storage capacity within a minimum footprint. The Hänel Rotomat® is based on the Ferris wheel principle and brings various kinds of stored items to the access point for fast, safe and ergonomic retrieval. Large numbers of diverse small parts are stored in bins which are neatly organized on the multifunction carriers of the Hänel system. One single Hänel Rotomat® industrial storage system can hold more than eight tons of material. Storage positions are allocated by the Hänel MP 12 N controller Thanks to the extreme flexibility of Hänel controllers, the lift system was seamlessly integrated in the customer’s existing network. The controllers are very easy to use and have a wide range of functions. All job and item information is sent via CIFS from the customer’s Navision ERP solution directly to the MP 12 N controller. During putaway processes, the MP 12 N supports the search for unoccupied storage positions. Transaction data is sent to Navision by the minute Employees start the picking process by scanning the job barcodes directly at the lift access point. Based on optimized routing, the multifunction carriers holding the requested items are sequentially brought to the access point for retrieval. Users can then pick the items from the storage system at an ergonomic height. Quantities and item numbers are displayed on the Hänel MP 12 N microprocessor controller. When the user confirms retrieval on the control unit, the storage system automatically brings the next requisite item to the access point – this process continues until all of the items on the pick list have been retrieved. Transaction data is sent to Navision every minute via the transaction journal. Inventory status is constantly monitored and updated by the Hänel inventory module. The goods-to-man principle improves ergonomics – and users do not have to walk around looking for requested items. The Hänel compartment and sub-level indicators, which are integrated in the work counter, help users identify storage positions. This speeds up the picking process and considerably reduces picking errors. The seven-fold increase in storage density, and the doubling of overall picks, are among the many benefits delivered by the Hänel Rotomat® in the shipping department at Fierthbauer in Esslingen-Zell.

Party Rent Franchise GmbH Modern storage for event equipment Founded in 1992, the Party Rent Group is one of Europe's largest event service providers. Today the Party Rent Group has 400 employees, plus 214 commercial vehicles and 29,000 m² of storage area for its event logistics operations. In addition to tents, heating and air conditioning systems, Party Rent also loans equipment such as dinnerware, flatware, glassware, tables, chairs, bars and buffet systems for events of all types, both large and small. When table linen and furniture covers were added to the products offered, Party Rent needed to reorganize its storage space. Six Hänel Rotomat® storage carousels now compactly hold tablecloths, chair covers and other textiles, keeping them free of dust and dirt. During the order picking process, all articles are transported quickly and reliably to the retrieval points. The 30 carriers in each of the six Rotomat® storage carousels are three meters long, with a depth of 50 centimeters. The carriers are slightly slanted toward the inside of the system. This prevents linens from falling out of the system when the carriers are in motion. The bottom and rear wall of each carrier feature slotted perforations spaced 20 mm apart for variable space configuration. Movable dividers can also be added for more flexibility. The multifunction carriers are also easily adjustable so that Rotomat® storage carousels can accommodate items of various height, making for customized and versatile storage. This also ensures maximum storage space density as well. What's more, all Rotomat® storage carousels are equipped with smooth-operating, lockable sliding doors. This protects stored items from dust and dirt, as well as from unauthorized access. Each retrieval point features a wear-resistant V2A work counter, ergonomically positioned at a height of one meter to ensure optimal convenience during order picking. In addition, these Rotomat® systems also have innovative Hänel EcoLoad® technology to save energy. EcoLoad® constantly monitors the load status. As the Rotomat® works on the principle of rotation, a lot of energy can be saved through even load distribution. If the load recommendations issued by the Hänel microprocessor controller are precisely followed, the stored items will always be positioned to ensure perfect balance, and that reduces the energy needed to set the system in motion. And Hänel EcoLoad® does more than warn against unbalanced loads. This EcoConcept also uses the display to show which shelves should be used for optimal load balancing. These Rotomat® storage carousels have a storage capacity of up to five tons. The mechanical parts and carrier sets of the Hänel systems are designed and configured according to the size and weight of the storage goods. It's this flexibility that makes the Hänel Rotomat® so cost-effective. In addition to the Rotomat® that stores textiles, the Party Rent Group also operates a Hänel Lean-Lift® with a height of nine meters for storing flatware and dinnerware. Thanks to a maximum payload capacity of up to 60 tons, the Hänel Lean-Lift® is the perfect choice for this task. The vertical, height-optimized Hänel Lean-Lift® was ordered as a high-speed model, equipped with access code management. Only authorized employees have access to the valuable silver flatware kept in the system.

TTI, Inc. Europe, Ganghoferstraße 34, 82216 Maisach-Gernlinden, Germany 35 Hänel Lean-Lifts® and 24 Hänel Multi-Space® storage systems guarantee maximum efficiency The Hänel solutions at TTI enable high-performance order picking with flexible management and rapid handling of tens of thousands of different SMD components Headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas, TTI, Inc. is a world-leading authorized distributor of electronic components. The Maisach-Gernlinden site plays a key role in TTI’s global network. To ensure the best possible storage and logistics processes at its European headquarters, the company has relied on Hänel’s advanced storage solutions for a number of years. TTI currently has a total of 59 Hänel vertical lifts in its ultra-modern central warehouse, including 35 Hänel Lean-Lifts® and 24 Hänel Multi-Space® 3-axis storage systems. Thanks to their high efficiency and an impressive storage capacity of more than 145,000 locations, the automatic Hänel lifts fulfill all key requirements of dynamic logistics processes. Vertical storage with maximum space utilization Hänel vertical lifts can be adapted flexibly to the existing space situation. At TTI, the Hänel Lean-Lifts® extend to heights of more than nine meters, while the Hänel Multi-Space® storage systems even reach up to 15 meters in height. With their some 9,500 containers, the lifts therefore offer an enormous amount of space by leveraging more than 18,000 m² of vertical storage space within a total footprint of just around 800 m². This extremely efficient use of vertical space is a feature of all Hänel storage solutions and offers ideal integration in existing storage concepts. 20 Hänel Multi-Space® storage systems, at a height of 15 meters, were designed to fit the existing ceiling height and are also fitted with a sprinkler system A terminal is available at each lift group with access to the management system, from where the relevant label is printed for each item on an order Thanks to the innovative design of the access points on the Hänel Multi-Space®, an employee can pick items in parallel on four lifts without the need to walk long distances To ensure the best possible flow of goods, the storage and retrieval processes are carried out in parallel across all access points Sustainability thanks to intelligent energy usage with the Hänel EcoDrive® All Hänel Multi-Space® storage systems at TTI are equipped with Hänel EcoDrive® technology. The integrated frequency converter transforms the kinetic energy of the descending extractor into electrical energy instead of allowing it to dissipate in the form of heat. The resulting energy that is recovered is fed back into the power grid and can therefore be used elsewhere. Depending on the rate of extractor travel, up to 40% of the energy required for the upward run can be recovered. This leads to considerable savings and therefore a reduction in running costs. Fast order processing thanks to optimized workflows The Hänel Multi-Space® allows containers to be delivered quickly from all lift modules due to the simultaneous vertical and horizontal movement of the extractor. The storage volume available centrally at just one issuing point is therefore enormous. The access points on the Multi-Space® 3-axis storage systems at TTI are designed to enable order picking simultaneously at four retrieval points. The stored items from a total of 12 lift modules can be quickly accessed in these four-way lift groups within minimal walking distances. This inherent advantage of the Multi-Space® system enables large-scale order picking with a minimum of staff. The requested SMD components for picking are then transported via a conveyor belt directly to the shipping department, from where they are dispatched together with other items on the customer order. Flexible scalability to meet growing requirements The first four Hänel Lean-Lifts® were installed as far back as 2010. As TTI grew, so too did the need for additional storage capacity, which led to the successive purchase of further Hänel systems over the years. These ongoing investments demonstrate that the Hänel solutions meet TTI’s high expectations in full as regards efficiency and reliability. TTI not only relies on the innovative Multi-Space® storage systems, but also the proven Hänel Lean-Lifts®. Space-saving and reliable storage of sensitive electronic These ultra-modern lift systems offer numerous advantages for ensuring reliable management and handling of SMD components. The Hänel Lean-Lifts® are designed to integrate seamlessly into the existing storage space and thus provide maximum storage capacity within a minimum footprint. The enclosed design of the Hänel storage systems also reliably protects sensitive electronic components against dust, dirt, and unauthorized access. Each item in the multifunction containers is labeled with a barcode and can be uniquely identified with a scanner An employee operates a number of Lean-Lifts® simultaneously. As the order volume increases, the picking rate can be improved dynamically by deploying additional employees When an item is retrieved, the order label is affixed to enable further processing in the shipping department Standardized processes and clearly structured workplaces mean that staff can work productively at all 59 lifts following a short training period All items picked from the Hänel lifts are transported directly to the central shipping department via the adjacent conveyor belt The available space is leveraged optimally thanks to the precise measurement of the height of items and the space-saving storage on the Hänel Profile Wall® The 35 Hänel Lean-Lifts® and 24 Hänel Multi-Space® storage systems offer enormous storage capacity for SMD components thanks to more than 145,000 storage locations – ensuring flexible and systematic handling of individual customer orders The barcode-based process reduces the potential for error when managing tens of thousands of different products Hänel’s innovative vertical technology minimizes storage and retrieval times, while the flexible height adjustment means that different stored articles can be stowed away in a structured and space-saving manner. The picking process on the Hänel solutions at TTI is standardized across the lift systems, which means that staff can be deployed at all 59 lifts following a short training period. Workplace ergonomics as a success factor TTI is committed to the highest safety and ergonomic standards at the workplace. The ergonomic design of the order picking process is optimized thanks to the use of Hänel vertical lifts. Staff can work efficiently without losing time due to long walking distances or searching for items. This allows for faster processing of orders and significantly boosts productivity. There is also less physical stress and strain on employees thanks to the convenient access heights and intuitive handling of the Hänel lifts. Work safety is improved as a result as well as employee satisfaction. Maximum storage density All containers in the Hänel vertical lifts are stored directly on the profiles of the Hänel Profile Wall®. The articles stored in every container that leaves the access point are measured automatically and precisely by the height-measuring light barriers. Containers at TTI are fitted with Hänel’s space-saving pitch technology and can therefore be transported to the profile wall in increments of 37.5 mm with no loss of space. The combination of optimum slot system, precise height measurement, and container slot allocation enables compact storage without any loss of space even when articles are of the most varied heights. Continuous investment in Hänel systems confirms the high level of customer satisfaction and trust in the quality of Hänel storage solutions. To keep pace with growing requirements, TTI is planning further expansion at the Maisach site and has already ordered ten additional Hänel Multi-Space® storage systems. Because the multifunctional containers can be divided flexibly, a vast range of SMD reels can be supplied safely and with structured organization Every storage process is coordinated at a terminal from the central TTI management system. The containers in question are then requested via the Hänel MP 12 N lift controller "Hänel’s logistics solutions offer us maximum flexibility for designing our storage space and allow our employees to operate up to four lifts at the same time. The reliability of the vertical lifts combined with the excellent customer support and rapid response times have made Hänel a valued partner for TTI for many years."

ZCC Cutting Tools Europe Energy-efficient shipping processes Lean-Lift® vertical storage cluster: Top performer in the dynamic tool business In order to keep pace with the high demand for turning, milling and drilling tools, ZCC Cutting Tools Europe has made efficient inventory management, fast order picking and optimized intralogistics the top priorities in its new warehouse and shipping center in Düsseldorf, Germany. High-precision tools for the machining industry In addition to expanding the floor space needed for intralogistic processes, the company has also installed ten modern Hänel Lean-Lift® vertical storage systems. These automated Hänel systems provide height-optimized storage – from floor to ceiling – for extraordinary capacity within a minimum footprint. The Lean-Lift® series is also well-known for maximum flexibility to ensure efficient storage and warehouse operations. All Hänel Lean-Lift® systems were equipped with Hänel EcoDrive® and Hänel EcoMode® . Sustainable energy concept and intelligent energy management With Hänel EcoDrive® energy recovery, up to 40 % of the energy needed for the upward run of the extractor in a Lean-Lift® can be recovered depending on the traversing speed when the extractor descends. Whenever a vertical storage system remains idle for extended periods during normal operation, Hänel EcoMode® automatically switches the system to different levels of standby mode at freely configurable time intervals. This reduces the energy intake of Hänel storage systems to a minimum when they are idle. Efficient warehouse management in the vertical lift cluster The Hänel Lean-Lift® systems feature height-optimized storage – from floor to ceiling – so that the seven-meter height of the building can be fully and efficiently utilized. Gaps and unoccupied spaces are avoided to ensure maximum storage capacity. This is achieved by dynamically organizing the inventory stored inside the vertical lift systems. Items are not assigned permanent storage positions – for example, their locations can vary over time so that frequently ordered items are positioned closer to the access points for faster retrieval. These particular vertical lifts are also equipped with Hänel high-speed features for optimized operation. The high speeds of the extractors shorten the time needed for order picking even more. Transparent warehouse processes The master data for all inventory items is managed with SAP, with the individual storage positions being assigned by the vertical lift systems. SAP sends the data for picking orders to the warehouse management software integrated in the Hänel MP 100 D central controller. One MP 100 D controls five lifts in a cluster. Each lift is equipped with the Hänel MP 12 N controller with touchscreen technology – this device is used to operate the storage system. Thus each system in a cluster configuration can be operated independently. Data communication with the overarching SAP host is conducted via Ethernet interface, a standard component in the Hänel systems. Both Hänel cluster controllers have FTP with data conversion software to keep data communication smooth and simple. The integrated Hänel web server provides access to the storage data in the corporate network. The Hänel Lean-Lift® – energy- saving and efficient The flexibility and efficiency of the Lean-Lift® systems reflect the quality that can be expected from Hänel solutions. This is complemented by the transparency and functionality of the storage cluster when integrated in the host system. Energy efficiency is ensured with Hänel Lean-Lift® systems thanks to Hänel EcoDrive® and Hänel EcoMode®! The Hänel lifts have a height of about seven meters – from floor to ceiling – for intelligent storage. Height-optimized storage ensures that capacity is fully utilized The requested storage bin is identified by the LED indicators in front of the container – the bin is also highlighted on the controller display One high-performance MP 12 N controller is located at the access point of every Hänel Lean-Lift® in the cluster. Thus each system in the cluster configuration can be operated independently

The Hänel Multi-Space® The unique 3-axis lift system with energy recovery! Energy recovery with the Hänel EcoDrive® system in the Hänel Multi-Space® at Vogel in Hemer Vogel is an engineering company in Hemer, Germany, which develops and manufactures electric drives and controllers for machinery used in the wire and metal rolling industries. The company also repairs motors, gear units, pumps, transformers and magnets for its customers. Automated high-tech storage The expanding business at the Vogel plant in Hemer requires enormous storage capacity. To keep up with business growth and stay competitive in the future, Vogel decided to expand its site vertically. A shaft extending upward from the basement to the ceiling was erected in the main building to accommodate a Hänel Multi-Space® system com- prised of three lift modules. The installation of the high-tech storage solution nearly tripled the space available in the workshop, office and warehouse areas. The lift modules of the Hänel Multi-Space® can be expanded both in height and width. The extractor, which travels both horizontally and vertically, works in much the same way as an automated retrieval device in a high-bay rack and shelf system. With the additional horizontal axis, the requested containers are transported to the access point at maximum speed. The Multi-Space® extends upward through five floors and – with the exception of the third floor – the system is equipped with a front-side access point at each level. Employees from the technical departments have direct access to the material they need. EcoDrive®: efficient drive system for lower energy consumption Lowering energy consumption in the warehouse by using efficient, energy-saving storage systems reduces operating costs and helps protect the environment. The Multi-Space® system at the Vogel plant in Hemer is 25 meters high and is equipped with Hänel’s integrated EcoDrive® energy feedback unit. A frequency converter transforms the kinetic energy of the descending extractor into electrical energy. That way up to 40 % of the energy used for the upward run of the extractor can berecovered and fed back into the electrical supply system. This energy can be used elsewhere, for example by other Lean-Lifts® in a cluster. Carefully selected, high-quality components bring additional energy savings. High-grade Hänel slider components on the containers minimize friction during storage transactions, which helps save even more energy. Optional smooth-action plastic rollers also help to avoid friction losses. Maximum storage capacity The height-optimized vertical storage provided by the Multi-Space® offers more capacity within the same footprint when compared with conventional storage systems. The system saves up to 60 % of expensive storage space. Sustainable storage of parts, components, and office material in the Hänel Multi-Space®! The requested container is transported quickly to the access point with the user-friendly touchscreen terminal from Hänel. Time spent walking and waiting is drastically reduced in comparison with manual storage solutions The Multi-Space® at Vogel has a height of 25 meters and is one of the tallest Hänel systems ever built Direct access at the retrieval point on the first floor. All service and assembly parts are always available in the supervisory office above the workshop In the event of a fire, a network of pipes fills the entire Hänel Multi-Space® system with nitrogen gas to protect stored items Compact, neat and central – all kinds of office materials are stored in one of the 270 containers in the Hänel Multi-Space® Safe and secure access for the administrative office. Documents and office supplies are stored in the same Hänel Multi-Space® system, but they are safeguarded by a PIN code that is only available to authorized employees

Jungbluth Baumaschinen GmbH Cost-efficient storage of spare parts for wheeled loaders and excavators in the Hänel Lean-Lift® Jungbluth Baumaschinen, based in Kruft, Germany, offers not only the complete and diverse range of Volvo products, but also rehandling excavators, telescopic cranes and cable excavators for hire and purchase. The spare parts storehouse holds small and medium-sized wear and maintenance parts, such as filters and rubber seals, in a space-saving vertical Hänel Lean-Lift® where they are protected from dust and light. All storage movements and inventory data are recorded transparently in the enterprise resource planning system. The Jungbluth company in Kruft has been the sole authorized distributor for Volvo construction machinery since 1990. In addition to Volvo’s diverse product range, the medium-sized enterprise offers just about any vehicle needed in the construction industry, from 30-ton dump trucks through articulated dumpers to compact excavators. Customer Service Manager Rudolf Hofmann says: “We have five of our own special transporters and four service centers equipped with state-of-the-art workshops including IT-supported diagnostic technology and spare parts storehouses. When the need arises, urgently required spare parts are ordered online from our suppliers overnight and either brought to our workshop here in Kruft early the next morning or supplied straight to the faulty excavator or wheel loader on the construction site.” If necessary, the authorized dealer of Volvo, Sennebogen and Merlo can even supply its customers from Bad Neuenahr to Neuwied, Mayen-Koblenz, Montabaur and right up to the Hunsrück area with spare parts from allied companies and third-party manufacturers. Optimum service for construction vehicles with the cost-efficient Hänel Lean-Lift® “We do the servicing and maintenance of the construction vehicles either at our workshop in Kruft or directly on the building site with our service team”, explains Rudolf Hofmann. So all the wear and maintenance parts, which means everything needed for inspection and repair work, are stocked in the spare parts storehouse. The smaller and midsize items, such as filters and sealing rings, are kept in the Hänel Lean-Lift®. Heavy and bulky parts are kept in the high-bay pallet storehouse. All the article data and storage locations are entered in the TopLog ERP system from Logis. The microprocessor controller of the Hänel Lean-Lift® interfaces directly with the ERP system. When a new order is placed, all the job details and the relevant article data are transmitted automatically to the vertical lift system. As soon as the job number is entered on the Hänel controller, the first container is conveyed straight to the access point. The right containers are simply transported to the retrieval point at the press of a button so that the individual parts can be picked. And the automatic feedback of inventory data to the ERP system ensures that the latest pick and put operations are always mapped in the inventory control system. Impressive space savings, user-friendly picking ”Order picking in the warehouse has become so much simpler. With the ‘goods to man’ principle of the Lean-Lift®, employees no longer have to walk long distances up and down the steps of the old rack storage system”, says the Customer Service Manager. Rising 7.8 meters in height, Hänel’s vertical lift system spans three floor levels, making use of the entire space up to the ceiling. So all the products from the two-story rack system that previously took up 150 m² of floor space can now be kept in the containers of the Lean-Lift®. The height-optimized assignment of the trays ensures that the entire space is efficiently used. With a footprint of just 9 m², huge space savings have been achieved thanks to the Hänel Lean-Lift®. And all the spare parts are protected from light and dust by Hänel’s closed storage system. Measuring 7.8 m high, the Hänel Lean-Lift® spans three floor levels, making use of the entire space up to the ceiling to store the assembly components. As soon as the job number is entered on the Hänel controller, the first container is transported automatically to the access point. At the touch of a button the next container is requested and transported to the access point by the extractor. All the spare parts are protected from light and dust by Hänel’s closed storage system. Bulky components are stored on the trays in height-optimized slots.

In its role as one of the world’s leading manufacturers of automated carousel and vertical lift storage systems, Hänel has constantly driven the development and integration of its control and software technologies for decades. Back in the 1980s it was Hänel that developed its very own high-performance control systems. And since 2004 customers have been able to integrate Hänel controllers in their enterprise networks via Ethernet. Even then all communication was supported by an integrated web server. Hänel also took the lead by launching touchscreen technology in 2006. The company places great importance not only on technological innovation and ergonomics, but also on energy efficiency. With Hänel EcoDrive®, which is part of the Hänel EcoConcept, the company became the first provider of vertical lift technology to develop a system that captures the energy released during the extractor’s descent, converts it into electrical energy and feeds it back into the power supply network. Today Rotomat® carousels and Hänel Lean-Lifts® are produced at three manufacturing sites – and exported worldwide. Hänel maintains its own subsidiaries in Switzerland, France, the Netherlands and the USA, in addition to a network of sales partners in more than 60 countries around the world. The Hänel Group employs some 500 people and generates more than EUR 100 million annually. prismat GmbH was founded in 1991 as a spin-off from the Fraunhofer Institute for Material Flow and Logistics in Dortmund.

BOERS & CO PRECISION SOLUTIONS, Fokkerstraat 495, 3125 BD Schiedam, Netherlands The Hänel Lean-Lift® as central system for process-optimized production and warehousing With the ERP interface in HänelSoft®-N production, assembly and shipping departments all benefit from the modern and flexible Hänel intralogistics solution At its site in Schiedam, the Netherlands, Boers & Co Precision Solutions manufactures precision parts for complex mechanical applications such as ultra-modern medical exoskeletons. The company consolidates the unique expertise of several different departments under one roof. For years now Boers & Co has been operating flexible vertical lifts from Hänel in a number of business units. When planning a new building extension, managers included an additional Hänel intralogistics solution right from the start. Two high-speed versions of the Hänel Lean-Lift® are located in the modern shipping department where they store finished products and components that are ready for delivery. Both lift systems have a second retrieval access point and thus serve as a “bridge” between the assembly area on the upper floor with the shipping department on the ground floor. The Hänel systems have a height of eight meters to provide transparent and space-saving storage for finished products awaiting shipment. Components and small parts for the assembly department are also neatly stored in the lifts and made available to employees through the ERP system. Seamless integration of the customer’s ERP system and HänelSoft®-N Thanks to the latest control technology, Hänel Lean-Lift® solutions can be seamlessly integrated in existing IT infrastructures. Linking the Lean-Lift® systems to the Epicor ERP system used throughout Boers & Co was an absolute must. This ensures direct communication between HänelSoft®-N and Epicor. The Hänel MP 14 N controller, in conjunction with the intuitive user interface of HänelSoft®-N, offers high levels of convenience and ease of use. Job orders are set up in Epicor and then sent to the lift systems. The user can start the job order directly on the touchscreen of the MP 14 N controller. The Hänel Lean-Lift® transports the requisite items to the ergonomically designed access point for retrieval. The routing in this process is optimized to save time. Fast and error-free order picking with Hänel Pick-o-Light®-Vario Two additional access points on the upper floor are used to provide assembly lines with various small parts and components The 12-inch touchscreen of the Hänel MP 14 N controller clearly displays all of the job orders in HänelSoft®-N The Hänel lifts provide employees with various small parts needed for assembly processes Orders are set up directly on the Epicor terminal. All operations and inventory items stored in the Hänel lifts can be monitored throughout the company at all times Finished products and components are picked for shipping on the ground floor To support employees and minimize picking errors, Hänel Pick-o-Light®-Vario highlights the pick item location on the container when it arrives at the access point. The Hänel multifunction container is also shown on the controller display at the same time. The user confirms the completed pick directly on the controller. The Hänel Lean-Lift® then transports the next item to the access point for retrieval. Inventory data is automatically updated in Epicor. When all of the requested items are on the picking cart, the user closes the job order at the lift – the job is also closed in Epicor simultaneously. For many years now Boers & Co has been operating two other Hänel Lean-Lift® systems for tool management in the Precision Machining Department. Flexible and transparent tool organization in the Hänel Lean-Lift® on the production floor A Hänel Lean-Lift® in StandAlone mode serves as the central tool provisioning system for the surrounding production area. Complete warehouse management is already integrated in the Hänel MP 14 N-StandAlone controller as a standard feature. Machine operators use the lift controller to request the tools they need. The proper container is then transported directly to the retrieval access point. Hänel Pick-o-Light®-Vario clearly identifies the location of the requested tool. The tool maintenance department is located behind the lift system, which has an additional access point at the back. After use tools are inspected and then returned to the Lean-Lift® at this access point. The Hänel high-speed door enables parallel use of both access points. Another Hänel Lean-Lift® located in the second production area functions as a tool depot. Once again full usage of the height available – from floor to ceiling – saves valuable space on the production floor. At the same time expensive tools are safely and reliably stored in the lift and can be retrieved ergonomically. This solution even gives shift employees access to the complete inventory of tools. Boers & Co Precision Solutions is known for optimized and well-designed business processes. Hänel intralogistic solutions are a perfect fit for the company’s philosophy. The storage position on the container is clearly identified for the user with a dot of light Production employees have fast and ergonomic access to thousands of tools at any time Hänel multifunction containers allow for the neat and space-saving organization of large quantities of diverse tools Inspected tools can be made available again for production processes thanks to a second access point "The seamless interface between HänelSoft®-N and our ERP systems is crucial for Boers & Co. This interaction supports the flexible and efficient storage of numerous finished products and components for our complex assemblies." Ronald Koot , CEO

Fast and error-free order picking with Hänel Pick-o-Light®-Vario Two additional access points on the upper floor are used to provide assembly lines with various small parts and components The 12-inch touchscreen of the Hänel MP 14 N controller clearly displays all of the job orders in HänelSoft®-N The Hänel lifts provide employees with various small parts needed for assembly processes Orders are set up directly on the Epicor terminal. All operations and inventory items stored in the Hänel lifts can be monitored throughout the company at all times Finished products and components are picked for shipping on the ground floor To support employees and minimize picking errors, Hänel Pick-o-Light®-Vario highlights the pick item location on the container when it arrives at the access point. The Hänel multifunction container is also shown on the controller display at the same time. The user confirms the completed pick directly on the controller. The Hänel Lean-Lift® then transports the next item to the access point for retrieval. Inventory data is automatically updated in Epicor. When all of the requested items are on the picking cart, the user closes the job order at the lift – the job is also closed in Epicor simultaneously. For many years now Boers & Co has been operating two other Hänel Lean-Lift® systems for tool management in the Precision Machining Department. Flexible and transparent tool organization in the Hänel Lean-Lift® on the production floor A Hänel Lean-Lift® in StandAlone mode serves as the central tool provisioning system for the surrounding production area. Complete warehouse management is already integrated in the Hänel MP 14 N-StandAlone controller as a standard feature. Machine operators use the lift controller to request the tools they need. The proper container is then transported directly to the retrieval access point. Hänel Pick-o-Light®-Vario clearly identifies the location of the requested tool. The tool maintenance department is located behind the lift system, which has an additional access point at the back. After use tools are inspected and then returned to the Lean-Lift® at this access point. The Hänel high-speed door enables parallel use of both access points. Another Hänel Lean-Lift® located in the second production area functions as a tool depot. Once again full usage of the height available – from floor to ceiling – saves valuable space on the production floor. At the same time expensive tools are safely and reliably stored in the lift and can be retrieved ergonomically. This solution even gives shift employees access to the complete inventory of tools. Boers & Co Precision Solutions is known for optimized and well-designed business processes. Hänel intralogistic solutions are a perfect fit for the company’s philosophy. The storage position on the container is clearly identified for the user with a dot of light Production employees have fast and ergonomic access to thousands of tools at any time Hänel multifunction containers allow for the neat and space-saving organization of large quantities of diverse tools Inspected tools can be made available again for production processes thanks to a second access point "The seamless interface between HänelSoft®-N and our ERP systems is crucial for Boers & Co. This interaction supports the flexible and efficient storage of numerous finished products and components for our complex assemblies." Ronald Koot , CEO

Swecon Excavators in constant motion thanks to optimized parts supplies in Hänel storage systems If a replacement part needed for a Volvo construction machine is not available from one of the many Swecon sites or dealerships in northern and central Germany, it is ordered directly from one of Swecon’s central warehouses in Bochum or Gera. Thanks to the Hänel vertical Lean-Lift® modules and Rotomat® storage carousels, the requested spare parts can be delivered straight to the construction site overnight. All the transactions completed at the central warehouses are logged and controlled via the IT system on the MS Dynamics Navision server at the German headquarters of Swecon Baumaschinen GmbH in Ratingen. In addition to trading in industrial machinery made by Volvo Construction Equipment, along with the associated spare parts, Swecon carries out maintenance and repair work with its own Customer Service. Swecon also has a wide-ranging fleet of high-grade construction machinery which it offers for leasing. In conjunction with its authorized dealers, its numerous sites in northern and central Germany guarantee comprehensive customer support for virtually any Volvo construction vehicle. Ideal mix of Rotomat® and Lean-Lift® systems Swecon’s central warehouse in Bochum is constantly stocked with about 38,000 replacement parts. Every day some 250 spare parts consignments are shipped overnight to construction sites, gravel pits or quarries – wherever the construction machinery needing repair is deployed. Around 18,000 small components are kept in five space-saving Rotomat® carousels and three Hänel Lean-Lifts® where they are stored neatly in bins, protected from dust and light, and ready for immediate access. The head of spare parts management at Swecon, Martin Schmid, explains, “Many items such as rubber gaskets or sealing washers are similar in shape and size, so these are best stored in the uniform storage bins of the Rotomat® carousels. At the central warehouse in Gera we have been able to house all the small parts in just two Rotomat® storage carousels.” Bulky parts, on the other hand, are placed on containers in the vertical Lean-Lifts® where storage is optimized according to height. The vertical lift modules and storage carousels have a very small footprint, so most of the previous rack storage system, which took up 400 m2, has been decommissioned and the valuable space freed up for other purposes, such as the dispatch department. It was even possible to re-use the bins from the old rack storage system in the containers and carriers of the Hänel storage systems. High-speed, user-friendly order picking in the storage cluster Thanks to the high-speed “goods to user” retrievals, order picking times have been reduced by around 20 percent – a significant improvement. When a parts shipment is initiated or the receipt of incoming goods logged at a PC in the central warehouse in Bochum or Gera, the corresponding order data is transferred from the storage management system of the Microsoft Dynamics Navision ERP system directly to the Hänel storage systems via the IT network. These systems are seamlessly interconnected and linked to the network via the Sweco server at headquarters in Ratingen. When incoming goods are received, barcode labels are printed out and stuck on the articles. To keep the overall numbers of items in the warehouse constant, one warehouseman does the order picking while another puts incoming goods into storage in an automated process by scanning the labels. At order picking, the barcodes on the labels prepared for the packages are scanned so that the right Lean-Lift® container or Rotomat® carrier is automatically conveyed to the retrieval point. The number of items to be withdrawn is displayed in the electronic pick list on the wireless tablet PCs installed on the picking trolleys. Immediately after processing, the pick lists are automatically deleted. Retrieval errors are avoided with the help of order picking indicator strips. After withdrawing the required items, the user presses the green button, the next item is brought to the access point, and the warehouseman proceeds in this way until the order picking or replenishment process is completed. Article pool management and inventory control Thanks to the article pool management and inventory control functions, all the article data are already stored in the individual microprocessor controllers without the storage position. This means there is no need to re-enter the item stock level, minimum inventory or special data fields again when goods are being picked or replenished. Package height helps determine storage position The storage management system memorizes the dimensions and weights of the item packages. So when it searches through all the storage lifts for a suitable slot, the height of the item is also taken into account. This allows packages with individual or fixed heights to be stored together on containers. Schmid adds: “Many packages have the same size. With this feature the Rotomat® storage carousels with their standard bin sizes are optimally integrated into the cluster.” Storage positions allocated flexibly and reliably When an item reaches the zero inventory level, the storage position is immediately released for other items by the central storage management system. “In this way our warehouse maintains maximum flexibility. For security reasons, storage positions cannot be created locally at the Rotomat® or Lean-Lift®. This is easy to implement with the simple FTP interface to the Hänel microprocessor controllers by blocking storage position allocation. All storage and retrieval booking procedures are logged in a transaction journal so that they can be reported back to the storage management system transparently. In this process order numbers, cost center numbers, storage position and user data fields can be entered in supplementary data fields,” Schmid explains, and adds, “This affords us maximum transparency and optimization of all warehouses, storage units and storage positions. The end result is an error ratio well below one percent.” Around 18,000 small components are kept in five space-saving Rotomat® carousels and three Hänel Lean-Lifts® where they are stored neatly in bins, protected from dust and light and kept ready for immediate access. When an item reaches the zero inventory level, the storage position is immediately released for other items by the central storage management system on the Swecon server in Ratingen.

Paul Leibinger GmbH & Co. KG, Daimlerstraße 14, 78532 Tuttlingen, Germany Optimized material flow for production and distribution with seven Hänel Rotomat® storage systems The seamless connection of the HänelSoft®-N to the proALPHA ERP system increases the efficiency and precision of the daily picking process Paul Leibinger GmbH & Co. KG is a familyowned company based in Tuttlingen, Germany. Active worldwide, Leibinger manufactures labeling and marking systems. The company’s strategy focuses on continuously improving its internal processes. Innovative intralogistics solutions play a key role in this strategy. Leibinger’s main plant employs a total of seven Hänel Rotomat® storage systems. The dispatch department utilizes two of the systems for the worldwide distribution of its spare parts. Five further Hänel Rotomat® storage systems form the core of the central production storage and serve the various production lines. The carousels are more than six meters high, providing a sustainable solution which maximizes storage space while maintaining the smallest possible footprint. Efficient logistics through connection to the company ERP system All of the site’s Hänel Rotomat® storage systems run the modern HänelSoft®-N warehouse management software. The software connects the lifts directly to proALPHA, the ERP system used throughout the company. This tried and tested integration forms the foundation for the efficient storage strategy as the ERP system constantly maintains an up-to-date record of all stock movements and inventories. Paul Leibinger benefits from highly reliable inventory management and intelligent storage strategies such as first-in, firstout (FIFO). The storage systems are not only capable of storing and retrieving a wide variety of items, they also create an intelligently coordinated intralogistics solution which simplifies and optimizes complex warehouse processes. This is why the Hänel carousels have become an integral part of Leibinger’s warehouse management system. The flexibility of the system was a key aspect of the company’s decision to invest in Hänel intralogistics solutions. The Hänel carousel system in the small parts warehouse utilizes its system advantages to the fullest Five Hänel Rotomat® storage systems located directly adjacent to the production organize numerous components ranging from small parts to larger assemblies and also supply the assembly department. Hänel’s Rotomat® storage system is the ideal basis. The compact design of the ceiling-high lift systems makes effective use of the full height of the room, creating maximum storage capacity with the smallest possible footprint. In addition, the entire small parts range is available in the immediate vicinity of the assembly department. The enclosed structure of the Hänel Rotomat® storage system protects the small parts against dust, dirt, and unauthorized access. This aspect is especially important when it comes to delicate or valuable parts. The storage spaces on Hänel’s multifunctional carriers can be individually configured to hold a wide variety of small part sizes and shapes. This enables Paul Leibinger’s warehouse staff to flexibly organize the Hänel lift while saving storage space. Five ceiling-high Hänel Rotomat® storage systems form the central production warehouse for the adjacent production lines The user-friendly HänelSoft®-N software even enables warehouse staff to efficiently compile items from complex picking orders using the Hänel carousels The entire inventory is centrally managed via proALPHA while HänelSoft®-N organizes all orders and stock movements ... ... which are then transferred directly to the lift controllers and picked in accordance with the FIFO principle The components required for the production orders are ergonomically arranged on the lift worktop Efficiency and ergonomics in the production warehouse thanks to the Hänel Rotomat® The Hänel Rotomat® enables the fast and automated storage and picking of small parts. The parts are removed at an ergonomic height, minimizing the physical demands on employees, especially when they need to access the storage system frequently. The combination of high-performance carousel and intelligent software connection optimizes the daily warehouse operations at Paul Leibinger. All picking orders throughout the company are managed via the proALPHA ERP system. This ERP system documents the corresponding lift number and storage location for every item. Individual orders containing specific items can be created to meet all of the requirements from the assembly department. To achieve optimum performance when compiling the items, the orders are combined in HänelSoft®-N to create collective orders with optimized paths. These are then available for retrieval on all Hänel lift controllers. The employees scan their collection bins on the picking trolley, enabling them to effortlessly start the respective order. Easy and intuitive operation on the Hänel controller A display located directly where the goods are stored shows extensive information about the item, quantity, and storage location. As soon as the removal of an item has been acknowledged, the storage system automatically moves the multifunctional carrier to the removal point with the next item. Once all items within a lift have been processed, the employee moves on to the next Rotomat® and continues completing the picking order. This approach enables employees to rapidly put together diverse orders for the assembly department. Employees also benefit from the ergonomic provision of items thanks to this system-guided approach. Most of the components are stored in pull-out storage boxes and can be picked directly from the lift worktop. Optimized shipping process ensures high customer satisfaction Two additional Hänel Rotomat® storage systems in the dispatch department provide an enormous amount of storage space for goods and spare parts ready for shipping. The proALPHA system also organizes all picking orders on these lifts. The Hänel MP 14 N controller’s 12-inch touchscreen display offers the greatest ease of use during the system-optimized job processing via the HänelSoft® N user interface. The resulting performance and accuracy of the shipping process has permanently increased customer satisfaction at Paul Leibinger. The long-term cooperation with Hänel demonstrates how Paul Leibinger continues to strengthen its position as an innovative manufacturer through the use of advanced storage solutions while also implementing the ideal foundation to tackle future challenges. By introducing the Hänel Rotomat® storage lifts, Paul Leibinger vastly increased its storage capacity while simultaneously optimizing its efficiency in two key areas thanks to the seamless ERP integration. Confirmation of item removal via the Hänel MP 12 N controller enables all items in an order to be processed step-by-step. The Hänel Rotomat® is the ideal solution for organizing small parts and can be equipped with a diverse range of loading aids for each specific situation The Hänel MP 14 N controller’s display provides users with all of the relevant order information via HänelSoft®-N In addition, the order is path optimized and all items can then be ergonomically picked at the removal point of the Hänel Rotomat® storage system HänelSoft®-N systematically allocates storage locations for thousands of small parts clearly and compactly organized in storage boxes The dispatch department focuses on efficiency – two Hänel Rotomat® storage systems offer maximum storage capacity with the minimum footprint for the goods and spare parts ready for shipping "Using Hänel storage systems has decisively optimized our work processes. We benefit from fast shipping as well as the enormous amount of space saved by the Hänel carousels. The excellent price-performance ratio of the HänelSoft®-N is impressive."

Deutsche Bahn Efficient maintenance of rolling stock An efficient warehouse is always designed to fulfill a specified task. To ensure the supply of material needed to overhaul and modernize passenger train cars, Deutsche Bahn AG, responsible for Germany’s railroad system, ordered Hänel height-optimized vertical lift storage systems that are installed directly next to the work platforms in the maintenance building located in Wittenberge, Germany. The spacesaving systems are used to safely store and provide fast access to parts, components, tools and consumables that are required for maintaining and modernizing train cars. Deutsche Bahn maintains 16 service sites throughout the country to ensure that customer demands are met – the list of customers includes Deutsche Bahn Regio AG, DB Fernverkehr AG and DB Schenker Rail, as well as other railroad companies in Europe. The service center in Wittenberge, in the State of Brandenburg, has a long history in rolling stock maintenance dating back 135 years. The site, known officially as DB Fahrzeuginstandhaltung GmbH, employs more than 800 people who overhaul and modernize passenger cars for regional and long-distance routes, in addition to refurbishing and supplying parts and components for Deutsche Bahn. High efficiency with space-saving vertical lift systems Old equipment often does not ensure the process security needed today. A small problem, which is easy to resolve in modern systems, can lead to delays and, in serious cases, to complete outages that shut down operations entirely. To make sure that the maintenance processes for its train cars are always up and running smoothly, Deutsche Bahn modernized its manual buffer storage to provide fast access to material when servicing rolling stock. The project involved eight space-saving vertical lift systems and one industrial carousel system from Hänel. The automated Hänel Lean-Lift® combines storage rationalization and goods protection in one. At the center of the system is a computercontrolled positioning lift – the extractor. In front of it and behind it are the storage shelves. This is where the articles are stored in containers in height-optimized positions. The different possible heights result in exceptionally high capacity utilization. The vertical technology of the automated systems from Hänel utilizes the entire height of the building so that a storage density of up to 60 percent can be achieved. In addition, efficiency is much higher because the “putting and picking” of items in the systems is very fast, and workers do not have to walk long distances to fetch the parts or tools they need. Holger Hammel, the project manager responsible for the Hänel systems at the Wittenberge plant, describes the improvements: “The old double-door warehouse cabinets were bursting at the seams! And the maintenance platforms were always cluttered with parts and components for the train cars. Thanks to the automated Hänel storage systems, we now have everything perfectly organized and easily accessible. What’s more, we also gained more space on the maintenance platforms – that’s a big plus.” Modern touch-screen terminals mounted at the access points of the Lean-Lift® systems, along with integrated warehouse management software, are used to locate and retrieve containers in each Lean-Lift®. All access points are positioned at ergonomic height levels. Workers conveniently retrieve the items they need without constant bending or reaching. “The automated Hänel storage systems enabled us to optimize the throughput times for each maintenance job, and processes are more transparent as well,” says the project manager. Optimized parts management Faster access to required parts and components translates into economical and efficient storage that drastically reduces costs and improves parts management at the same time. Holger Hammel adds: “The logistics processes have been streamlined by using the Lean-Lift® systems. The storage systems are located right on the spot where employees need to have access to specific tools and parts – doors, sheet metal, glass, electrical units – you name it.” Thus, the Lean-Lift® used for storing brake systems is situated near the staging ramp where the chassis is separated from the train car body for maintenance work. The parts for the brake systems are refurbished and inspected. During general overhaul these parts are stored safely in the Lean-Lift®. Hydraulic lines, back-pressure valves, gauges, pressure regulators, manometers, compression couplings, gaskets and special brake tools are stored on 25 shelves. Ralf Wendland, the supervisor in charge of brakes, couplers and buffer components, says: “Thanks to the flexible Hänel storage and retrieval systems, we save enormous amounts of time, storage space and money. Our maintenance processes are also much better. Dynamic storage enables us to rationalize work processes and reduce walking distances when fetching parts and tools – and that really saves a lot of time. The Hänel storage systems support us in achieving our 12-day target for completing a standard overhaul job.” Screws, nuts, bolts, springs and pins are kept in a vertical Hänel Rotomat® industrial storage carousel. An external supplier keeps the Rotomat® containers filled according to the Kanban principle. For storing fragile windows, two containers were equipped with special receptacles for holding up to 16 windowpanes each. Heavy spacer and buffer plates, steel sheeting, junction plates and stops are kept in a special Lean-Lift® with a payload capacity of up to 600 kilograms per container. The vertical Hänel systems were installed to gain more storage space with a smaller footprint and to increase the transparency of buffer storage. The Lean-Lift® storing brake systems is situated near the staging ramp where the chassis is separated from the train car body for maintenance work. The parts for the brake systems are refurbished and inspected. During general overhaul these parts are stored safely in the Lean-Lift®. Safe storage of fragile glass panes After a period of eight years or an in-service performance of about 1.5 million kilometers, a train car is brought to Wittenberge for a standard overhaul. In many cases the train cars need to be modernized or even completely restored. Ralf Wendland explains: “For storing fragile windows, we have two containers in a Lean-Lift® equipped with special receptacles for holding up to 16 windowpanes each. The system features an enlarged access area and two transport support rails for removing the panes quickly and easily.” The other ten containers in the system hold door locks, rubber strips, window and door gaskets, as well as cleaning cloths and similar materials needed by employees. Storage for cable reels For complete modernizations and corrosion removal, the platform at the far end of the service center is equipped with two special Hänel systems for storing large and small cable reels. The eight containers in the Lean-Lift®, which is almost six meters high but only 1.3 meters wide, have special fittings to hold two large cable reels each, with a payload of up to 1,000 kilograms. Support rails on both sides make it easy to slide the containers out and change the cable reels as needed. Special protection for electronic components Particularly sensitive electronic components like plug-in boards or controllers for doors and air conditioning are kept in a special Lean-Lift® with ESD prevention features. For example, all 22 containers have a special finish to protect items from damage that could be caused by electrostatic discharges. In addition, the access points can also be locked. Thus electronic components are safeguarded against ESD, light and dust. Locked containers for more inventory control Ralf Wendland adds: “A second Lean-Lift® is equipped with a container that is supplied with electric power – this is where we store items needed for the interiors of our train cars. When they are put into storage, we are able to charge the device batteries while they are in the container. Furthermore, specified containers in this Lean-Lift® are locked. They can only be activated with a password entered at the terminal. This gives us better inventory control and retrieval management when it comes to valuable electronics. And things stay organized and clean.” Heavy loads and small parts Heavy spacer and buffer plates, steel sheeting, junction plates and stops are kept in a Lean-Lift® with a payload capacity of up to 600 kilograms per container. Here again support rails can be pulled out for ergonomic and more convenient removal of heavy components from the containers. Small items such as screws, nuts, bolts, springs and pins, as well as consumables, are stored in a vertical Hänel Rotomat® industrial carousel. An external supplier keeps the Rotomat® containers filled according to the Kanban principle. Inside, 28 multifunctional shelves can be arranged variably using dividers, split-shelving elements and punched slot grids. The eight containers in the Lean-Lift®, which is almost six meters high but only 1.3 meters wide, have special fittings to hold two large cable reels each, with a payload of up to 1,000 kilograms. Specified containers can only be accessed via passwords. This ensures better inventory control and retrieval management when it comes to valuable electronics. Support rails can be pulled out for ergonomic and more convenient removal of containers. Particularly sensitive electronic components like plug-in boards or controllers for doors and air conditioning are kept in a special Lean-Lift® with ESD prevention features.

SMA Solar Lean-Lifts for a lean factory For the production of its inverters using the kanban system, SMA Solar Technology AG relies on powerful and efficient storage systems from Hänel in its components store. Carbon-neutral production – the factory of the future SMA Solar Technology develops, manufactures and sells solar inverters for photovoltaic systems which convert the direct current generated by solar cells into alternating current as supplied by the grid. Inverters for all module types and all capacity ranges – from small roof-top installations for the home to giant solar parks – are manufactured at the main branch in Niestetal near Kassel. Since the company was founded 29 years ago, this globally active enterprise has experienced continuous growth and in 2009 achieved sales of EUR 934 million. SMA is represented outside Germany by branches in 12 countries and currently employees over 4,000 people. Last year SMA in Niestetal inaugurated the world's largest and carbonneutral inverter factory. By doing so, the company took on a leading role in environmental protection and has set the trend in terms of carbon-neutral industrial production. The main pillars of their policy here were energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy sources. With efficiency measures in the production process and an energy-efficient building concept, energy requirements have been reduced to a minimum. The power still required is drawn from renewable sources. „Lean production” SMA also sets new standards with the exceptionally high level of flexibility realized by the company in its manufacturing. "Lean production" at SMA is called "SMArt flow". The production philosophy of lean, no-waste manufacturing at SMA is based on the kanban material flow concept first developed by Toyota in the seventies. Today this concept impacts on almost all sectors of industrial production where articles are stored and handled. In contrast to the classic push-type manufacturing system, kanban implements a pull-type system which is oriented purely on consumption. Small-scale, decentralized feedback loops replace the central scheduling department. This makes kanban suitable for all companies using articles with a high level of predictability and usage frequency, which enables a certain degree of standardization. Lothar Weix, Head of THT production at SMA, explains: "With the kanban system of logistics, only the amount of material that is actually needed is transported to the assembly position. That way our workers can concentrate fully on the assembly work. Only when one material container is empty do they take material out of another container. The empty container is then filled up immediately with the relevant material and made available to the assembly line again. All SMA production steps are coordinated according to the "SMArt flow principle" and can be adapted flexibly. There are no fixed walls, fittings or conveyor belts on the actual production floor. "This means we are able to adapt our production lines and workstations at any time to the respective order situation and to customer requirements ", adds Lothar Weix. Height optimization enables the twelve compact Lean-Lifts from Hänel to concentrate a storage area of close to 1200 m² on a minimal footprint of 100 m². Decentralized, modular storage of sensitive electronic components right in the production hall ensures quick access. Lean-Lifts and Rotomat vertical carousels in the kanban system The intralogistics at SMA have to function smoothly. Klaus Bornkessel, Head of Logistics in the electronic production department explains: "Our order structure can change within days. So a modular, decentralized storage system is the most useful for our material flow system. As it was important for us to have, among other things, the reliable, time-proven chain drive system of the Hänel storage systems, we decided to opt for the flexible and modular Lean-Lift storage units and Rotomat vertical carousels when we expanded and modernized our storeroom in 2004." With their vertical lift technology, the 12 compact Lean-Lifts provide a storage area of about 1,200 m² on a minimal footprint of about 100 m². The simple and reliable storage technology from Hänel offers a number of advantages over other storage systems: height-optimized storage creates up to 60 percent more storage volume simultaneous "goods to man" order picking with short access times thanks to parallel operation by multiple users at different lifts and carousels ergonomic retrieval height, no ladder-climbing – no risk of accidents decentralized storage – the two Rotomat carousels holding production tools right on the shop floor are one example easy scalability thanks to the modular design flexible choice of modular storage compartment size within the shelves thanks to height-optimized storage protection from dust and light as a result of the closed construction ESD protection with special, anti-static finish the favorable cost-benefit ratio of the vertical lift modules and vertical carousels as compared with miniload systems guarantees a quick ROI (return on investment). At the present time, SMA has 12 Lean-Lifts and 7 Rotomats which are used to store and retrieve some 12,000 electronic components according to the FIFO principle. Bornkessel explains why: "All Lean-Lifts and Rotomats work extremely reliably. Corresponding customer service, efficient monitoring and diagnostic systems along with the short-term availability of service technicians (within four hours of call-out) were key criteria for us when choosing a system supplier", said Klaus Bornkessel. The multifunction carriers of the Rotomat vertical carousels offer customized, variable compartments for the different components of the SMA inverters. The carriers can be adapted easily to changing requirements. For example, there are carriers with punched holes into which intermediate shelves and movable dividers can be slotted, or drawers with different heights. In the Lean-Lift, the inventory items are assigned to container types of six different sizes. First the allocation of bins to lift shelves is defined; this roughly divides the inventory items according to the later industrial processing stages. The assignment of actual storage locations, however, is automatic. This ensures that retrieval runs smoothly and continuously, and frequent changing between lifts is avoided. ESD protection throughout ESD is the abbreviation for "Electrostatic Discharge". It often occurs as a result of friction. Generally this is a relatively harmless phenomenon. If a person walks over a rug, for example, and static electricity builds up, then the person touches an object, the static is discharged through an electrical spark. What people experience as a mere tingling or crackling sensation, however, can be sufficient to seriously damage electronic components or even destroy them. Usually ESD damage on electronic systems goes unnoticed until the customer finds the end product doesn't work. To prevent damage from occurring in the first place, the Lean-Lifts and Rotomat carousels are designed with ESD protection. Any static is discharged in a controlled way and new build-up prevented. Lothar Weix is the Head of THT production at SMA. The carriers in the Rotomats offer variable compartment fittings and are customized to meet SMA's individual needs. Capacitors are picked straight from the retrieval opening of a Lean-Lift. Storage management with Hänelsoft All business processes at SMA are transparently integrated into the existing SAP business software for production, sales and inventory control. As a general rule, standard ERP software with a module for storage management is not adequate for applications where business procedures place special demands on automation, and special technology such as barcode scanners and electronic dispatch equipment need to be integrated. And where there are specialist requirements such as the control of vertical carousels, an "addon" to ERP software is usually necessary. This is why both the production orders and the transport orders for storage and retrieval operations are entered by barcode in the SAP job pool. The individual Lean-Lift and Rotomat controllers are already equipped with extensive storage management functions and so can be incorporated effortlessly in the IT environment of SMA. All material handling operations are based on identification of all the articles by barcode. Scanners at all lift stations eliminate the need for time-consuming entries and prevent input errors. Replenishment and picking orders for production materials are created by the scheduler at the central computer and transferred online to the HänelSoft storage management system that manages the Lean-Lifts and Rotomats. This simple and user-friendly storage management software is integrated in SAP's higher-level IT system. Klaus Bornkessel explains: "Complex processes are made simple with operator-friendly solutions that use barcode scanners and input terminals right at the Lean-Lifts and Rotomats. This gives us a consistently transparent software landscape, enabling us to process up to 5,000 transport orders as well as pick and put operations in up to 18 shifts per week, and to track and trace movements transparently. Moreover, the customizing of the HänelSoft storage management software and the e-mail modules in the SAP order processing system was easy to do." Conclusion Optimization of the material flow - from incoming goods through warehousing to provisioning of the assembly line at SMA - was achieved efficiently with Hänel's flexible and modular storage systems. Klaus Bornkessel emphasizes: "Flexibility and reliability of the storage systems have top priority for us, both in terms of the way they are used and the processing of incoming orders. Next to this, the transparency of the operations is a key aspect and fundamental to automated storage management. These are requirements we impose not only on the functionality of the inventory control system, but also on the overall system design of the storage technology. With the Lean-Lifts and Rotomats from Hänel we have been able to substantially reduce our stocks and consequently our planning and control costs." "Our versatile microprocessor control systems enable easy integration into customer-specific logistics systems ", adds Joachim Hänel, CEO of the intralogistics supplier Hänel. Ergonomic retrieval heights: no ladder-climbing and no risk of accidents. Transparency of operations with barcode-controlled logistics is a key aspect and fundamental to automated storage systems. ESD protection of the Lean-Lifts and Rotomats with a special anti-static finish for the carriers and suspension components. In the Rotomats the sensitive SMA components are safely protected from shock, dust and dirt. Head of Logistics in the electronic production department of SMA, Klaus Bornkessel.

All SMA production steps are coordinated according to the "SMArt flow principle" and can be adapted flexibly. There are no fixed walls, fittings or conveyor belts on the actual production floor. "This means we are able to adapt our production lines and workstations at any time to the respective order situation and to customer requirements ", adds Lothar Weix. Height optimization enables the twelve compact Lean-Lifts from Hänel to concentrate a storage area of close to 1200 m² on a minimal footprint of 100 m². Decentralized, modular storage of sensitive electronic components right in the production hall ensures quick access. Lean-Lifts and Rotomat vertical carousels in the kanban system The intralogistics at SMA have to function smoothly. Klaus Bornkessel, Head of Logistics in the electronic production department explains: "Our order structure can change within days. So a modular, decentralized storage system is the most useful for our material flow system. As it was important for us to have, among other things, the reliable, time-proven chain drive system of the Hänel storage systems, we decided to opt for the flexible and modular Lean-Lift storage units and Rotomat vertical carousels when we expanded and modernized our storeroom in 2004." With their vertical lift technology, the 12 compact Lean-Lifts provide a storage area of about 1,200 m² on a minimal footprint of about 100 m². The simple and reliable storage technology from Hänel offers a number of advantages over other storage systems: height-optimized storage creates up to 60 percent more storage volume simultaneous "goods to man" order picking with short access times thanks to parallel operation by multiple users at different lifts and carousels ergonomic retrieval height, no ladder-climbing – no risk of accidents decentralized storage – the two Rotomat carousels holding production tools right on the shop floor are one example easy scalability thanks to the modular design flexible choice of modular storage compartment size within the shelves thanks to height-optimized storage protection from dust and light as a result of the closed construction ESD protection with special, anti-static finish the favorable cost-benefit ratio of the vertical lift modules and vertical carousels as compared with miniload systems guarantees a quick ROI (return on investment). At the present time, SMA has 12 Lean-Lifts and 7 Rotomats which are used to store and retrieve some 12,000 electronic components according to the FIFO principle. Bornkessel explains why: "All Lean-Lifts and Rotomats work extremely reliably. Corresponding customer service, efficient monitoring and diagnostic systems along with the short-term availability of service technicians (within four hours of call-out) were key criteria for us when choosing a system supplier", said Klaus Bornkessel. The multifunction carriers of the Rotomat vertical carousels offer customized, variable compartments for the different components of the SMA inverters. The carriers can be adapted easily to changing requirements. For example, there are carriers with punched holes into which intermediate shelves and movable dividers can be slotted, or drawers with different heights. In the Lean-Lift, the inventory items are assigned to container types of six different sizes. First the allocation of bins to lift shelves is defined; this roughly divides the inventory items according to the later industrial processing stages. The assignment of actual storage locations, however, is automatic. This ensures that retrieval runs smoothly and continuously, and frequent changing between lifts is avoided. ESD protection throughout ESD is the abbreviation for "Electrostatic Discharge". It often occurs as a result of friction. Generally this is a relatively harmless phenomenon. If a person walks over a rug, for example, and static electricity builds up, then the person touches an object, the static is discharged through an electrical spark. What people experience as a mere tingling or crackling sensation, however, can be sufficient to seriously damage electronic components or even destroy them. Usually ESD damage on electronic systems goes unnoticed until the customer finds the end product doesn't work. To prevent damage from occurring in the first place, the Lean-Lifts and Rotomat carousels are designed with ESD protection. Any static is discharged in a controlled way and new build-up prevented. Lothar Weix is the Head of THT production at SMA. The carriers in the Rotomats offer variable compartment fittings and are customized to meet SMA's individual needs. Capacitors are picked straight from the retrieval opening of a Lean-Lift. Storage management with Hänelsoft All business processes at SMA are transparently integrated into the existing SAP business software for production, sales and inventory control. As a general rule, standard ERP software with a module for storage management is not adequate for applications where business procedures place special demands on automation, and special technology such as barcode scanners and electronic dispatch equipment need to be integrated. And where there are specialist requirements such as the control of vertical carousels, an "addon" to ERP software is usually necessary. This is why both the production orders and the transport orders for storage and retrieval operations are entered by barcode in the SAP job pool. The individual Lean-Lift and Rotomat controllers are already equipped with extensive storage management functions and so can be incorporated effortlessly in the IT environment of SMA. All material handling operations are based on identification of all the articles by barcode. Scanners at all lift stations eliminate the need for time-consuming entries and prevent input errors. Replenishment and picking orders for production materials are created by the scheduler at the central computer and transferred online to the HänelSoft storage management system that manages the Lean-Lifts and Rotomats. This simple and user-friendly storage management software is integrated in SAP's higher-level IT system. Klaus Bornkessel explains: "Complex processes are made simple with operator-friendly solutions that use barcode scanners and input terminals right at the Lean-Lifts and Rotomats. This gives us a consistently transparent software landscape, enabling us to process up to 5,000 transport orders as well as pick and put operations in up to 18 shifts per week, and to track and trace movements transparently. Moreover, the customizing of the HänelSoft storage management software and the e-mail modules in the SAP order processing system was easy to do." Conclusion Optimization of the material flow - from incoming goods through warehousing to provisioning of the assembly line at SMA - was achieved efficiently with Hänel's flexible and modular storage systems. Klaus Bornkessel emphasizes: "Flexibility and reliability of the storage systems have top priority for us, both in terms of the way they are used and the processing of incoming orders. Next to this, the transparency of the operations is a key aspect and fundamental to automated storage management. These are requirements we impose not only on the functionality of the inventory control system, but also on the overall system design of the storage technology. With the Lean-Lifts and Rotomats from Hänel we have been able to substantially reduce our stocks and consequently our planning and control costs." "Our versatile microprocessor control systems enable easy integration into customer-specific logistics systems ", adds Joachim Hänel, CEO of the intralogistics supplier Hänel. Ergonomic retrieval heights: no ladder-climbing and no risk of accidents. Transparency of operations with barcode-controlled logistics is a key aspect and fundamental to automated storage systems. ESD protection of the Lean-Lifts and Rotomats with a special anti-static finish for the carriers and suspension components. In the Rotomats the sensitive SMA components are safely protected from shock, dust and dirt. Head of Logistics in the electronic production department of SMA, Klaus Bornkessel.

The service providers are service providers/ job processors bound by our instructions and therefore we obligate them, among other things, to handle your data exclusively on the basis of our instructions and in compliance with applicable data protection laws. In particular, they are obligated to treat your data as strictly confidential and they are also prohibited from processing the data for other purposes than agreed. Data is transferred to job processors on the basis of Art. 28 para. 1 GDPR. We neither sell your data to third parties nor market it in any other way. In addition, your data will be transferred to the criminal prosecution authorities and where applicable, to injured third parties without your express consent if that is necessary to investigate any unlawful use of our services or for law enforcement purposes. However, this will only happen if there are concrete indications of unlawful or abusive behavior. Data may also be transferred if this serves the purpose of enforcing the conditions of use or other agreements. We are also legally required to provide information to certain public authorities upon request. Such public authorities are criminal prosecution authorities, authorities pursuing administrative offenses punishable by fines, and tax authorities. Such data will be transferred on the basis of our legitimate interests in combating abuse, prosecuting crimes and securing, asserting and enforcing claims except where such interests are overridden by your rights and interests in the protection of your data (Art. 6 para. 1 letter f GDPR). Planned data transfer to third countries A transfer to third countries is not planned at the present time; otherwise, the applicable legal conditions will be fulfilled. In particular, you will be informed of the recipients or categories of recipients in accordance with the legal requirements. Security We employ technical and organizational safeguards to protect the data you have provided to us against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorized persons. The same applies when external services are purchased. The efficacy of our safeguards is reviewed and they are continually improved in line with technological advances. When personal data is entered, it is always encrypted before transmission. Cookies We use cookies in some areas to make our website more user-friendly for you and adapt it optimally to your needs. A cookie is a small file that is stored locally on your computer as soon as you visit a website. When you visit the website again from the same terminal device, the cookie shows (for example) that this is a repeat visit. Cookies also enable us to analyze the use of our website. The cookie does not contain any personal data and it is not suited for identifying you on the websites of third parties, including the websites of analytics providers. We use the following types of cookies: Fundamental/ necessary cookies These cookies are fundamentally important for the functioning of our website. Functions include the assignment of anonymous session IDs for the purpose of bundling multiple queries to one web server and the error-free functioning of registrations and orders. Functionality cookies These cookies help us store the settings you have selected or support other functions when you navigate within our website. This way, we can note your preferred settings for your next visit and store your log-in data for certain areas of our website. Performance/ statistical cookies These cookies collect information about how you use our website (e.g. Internet browser used, number of visits, pages accessed and the length of time spent on the website). These cookies do not store information that would allow for the personal identification of visitors. The information collected with the aid of these cookies is aggregated and is therefore anonymous. You can accept or reject the use of cookies – also for web tracking – in the settings of your web browser. You can configure your browser in such a way as to always reject the use of cookies or to be informed in advance when a cookie is stored. In this case, however, the functionality of the website may be impaired (e.g. for placing orders). Your browser also offers a function for deleting cookies (e.g. delete browser data). You can find additional information on this subject in the operating instructions and usually also in the settings of your Internet browser. Website-tracking Google Analytics and its advertising functions Our website uses the web analytics service Google Analytics of Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, which are text files that are stored on our computer and make it possible to analyze your use of the website. The information about your use of this website generated by the cookie is usually transmitted to a server of Google in the United States and stored there. If IP anonymization is activated on this website, however, Google will shorten your IP address before transmitting it. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a server of Google in the United States and shortened there. Google uses this information on our behalf to analyze the use of this website, compile reports and provide other services related to the usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as a function of Google Analytics is not combined with other data of Google. You can prevent the storage of cookies by changing the corresponding setting in your browser software; in this case, however, please note that you will not be able to use all the functions of this website. We also point out separately that we have activated all the advertising functions of Google Analytics. Therefore, additional access data is collected to the extent that you provide it. The advertising function provides us with performance reports on the basis of demographic criteria, interests and remarketing. Personal data cannot be combined with personal data if it is collected with the aid of Google advertising products. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie in relation to your usage (including your IP address) and processing by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link ( https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en-uk ). You can prevent data collection by Google Analytics by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie will then be placed on your computer to prevent the future collection of your data when you visit this website: Disable Google Analytics You can find more detailed information on the terms and conditions of use and data protection at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/gb.html and at https://www.google.de/intl/en_uk/policies/ . Please note that the “anonymizeIp” code has been added to Google Analytics on this website in order to ensure the anonymized collection of IP addresses. Advertising, e-mail advertising (newsletter) We inform you about our current offerings, new developments and products in our newsletter. If you wish to receive the newsletter, we will need a valid e-mail address from you. The data entered into the entry form during the registration process will be collected. We ask you for you title and name so that we can address you personally. Naturally, you can also use a pseudonym for this purpose. This data will only be used for transmitting the newsletter. In addition to this data, we also store the registration date. This record only serves the purpose of evidence in the event that a third party abuses your e-mail address and orders the newsletter under your e-mail address without your knowledge. Termination / revocation: Naturally, you can always object to the further use of your data for advertising and marketing purposes – even when this is legally permissible without your knowledge (e.g. postal advertising) – by sending us a simple message. You can always revoke your consent to store and use your personal data for the purpose of newsletter transmission by clicking on the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. Links to websites of other providers Our website may contain links to the websites of other providers. Please note that this data protection policy only refers to this website. We have no influence on other websites and do not monitor other provides to ensure that they comply with the applicable data protection regulations. Protection of minors Children and persons under 18 years of age should not transmit any personal data to us without the consent of their parents or legal guardians. We do not request personal data from children, do not collect such data and do not transfer it. Standard time periods for data erasure The law stipulates many different retention periods and obligations. The corresponding data is routinely erased after the expiration of these retention periods. If data is not affected by such retention periods and obligations, it will be erased or anonymized when the purposes stated in this data protection policy no longer apply. If this data protection policy does not contain any other, contradictory provisions on the subject of data storage, the data collected by us will be stored by us for as long as necessary to fulfill the aforementioned purposes for which it was collected. Other data uses and data erasure Any further processing or uses of your personal data is generally performed only when a statutory regulation allows it or when you have consented to the data processing or use. If we process data for other purposes than those for which the data was originally collected, we will inform you of these other purposes and provide you with other relevant information prior to processing. Detection and prosecution of abuse We store information for the purpose of detecting and prosecuting abuse, particularly including your IP address, for a maximum of 7 days. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 letter f GDPR. Our legitimate interest in keeping the data for 7 days is to ensure the proper functioning of our website and the transactions conducted on it and to prevent cyber-attacks and the like. Where applicable, we use anonymous usage information for the sake of designing our website to meet the needs of users.
