Advanced logistics solution: opening of the new centre in Möhlin
Rhenus Logistics AG is opening its Swiss logistics centre in Möhlin in January 2025. Around 80 employees will be supported there by 30 robots and seven RoboShuttles. The photovoltaic system on the roof will generate 1 million kilowatt hours of electricity per year.
Rhenus Logistics AG will open its new Swiss logistics centre in Möhlin in January after a construction period of one and a half years. According to a press release, this will comprise a total of 30,000 storage spaces on a total area of 2,000 square metres.
The logistics centre will be operated by around 80 employees working with 30 P40 robots from Chinese manufacturer Geek and seven RoboShuttles. This collaboration should enable time savings of 70 per cent. The building will also have special storage rooms for temperature-controlled goods and the storage of hazardous materials, for example.
Power will be supplied by a photovoltaic system on the roof. This is expected to generate 1 million kilowatt hours per year.
“Our new logistics centre in Möhlin is an impressive example of what modern logistics looks like: more automation and increased efficiency while simultaneously promoting jobs, sustainability goals and quality standards,” said Andreas Stöckli, CEO of Rhenus Alpina and a member of the Rhenus Group’s Management Board, in the press release.
The Rhenus Group, which has its headquarters in Holzwickede in North Rhine-Westphalia and its Swiss headquarters in Basel, has a presence at 1,320 sites in more than 70 countries and generates an annual turnover of EUR 7.5 billion.
