en.Wedoany.com Reported - Renault Germany has officially inaugurated a new spare parts logistics center in Brühl, near Cologne. Covering 24,000 square meters, the facility replaces an outdated warehouse built in the 1960s and was constructed in less than a year by logistics real estate developer Marq Logistics, formerly operating under the name GLP.

The core of the facility is an Exotec automated warehouse system, utilizing "Skypod" robots for the storage, picking, and shipping of spare parts. Based on the "goods-to-person" principle, this solution reduces walking time for employees, improving ergonomics and workplace safety. With a capacity to handle up to 1,600 totes per hour, Renault Germany expects a significant boost in processing speed and operational efficiency.

By adopting automation and robotics, Renault Germany has enhanced speed, quality, and efficiency.

The goal is to enhance the performance of the dealer network and establish the after-sales sector as a competitive advantage.
