BITO Shelving and racking in use at Briem

BRIEM Speditions GmbH is a medium-sized, third-generation owner-managed family business that has developed from a traditional shipping company into a leading logistics services provider and partner for customers from a wide range of industries. The company focuses on storage and distribution of hazardous substances. Today, BRIEM specialises in process management and organises complex, customized logistics projects with a focus on optimising processes and transport routes.

Initial situation and customer requirements

A new logistics facility was built at the main site in Filderstadt, which is connected to the existing facility. At the same time, a second site with a new logistics centre was built 45 km away in the industrial park in Münsingen.
The construction of two facilities of this size was a major challenge for the user, which is why a truly competent and reliable partner was needed.
Both systems had to be customised to the specific requirements of BRIEM customers. Their customer portfolio is very diverse, with customers from the food industry as well as from the mechanical engineering sector.
As there were no technical possibilities for automation, the picking line in the new logistics facility in Filderstadt had to be replenished manually and the area had to be designed accordingly.
BRIEM also specializes in the storage and logistics of hazardous goods, which again means that very specific requirements such as fire protection regulations had to be met.
Existing storage capacities had to be expanded.

The BITO Solution

Custom solution

Compliance with fire protection regulations

» The building is divided into sections, each with 1,536 storage positions, which are subdivided into fire protection areas and multi-purpose areas.

Euro footprint

Customer benefits

In what way has the BITO solution helped our customer to realise their full potential?

Efficient use of space thanks to narrow aisle storage and full use of the building height.
For small parts storage and order picking, BITO designed a budget friendly and efficient solution for BRIEM using customised shelf trolleys instead of an initially planned costly paternoster system.
The building is divided into sections, each with 1,536 storage positions, which are subdivided into fire protection areas and multi-purpose areas.
In the hazardous goods area, the facility is equipped with the necessary safety precautions and fire protection devices for storing hazardous goods and highly explosive hazardous substances.
The multi-purpose area can be used for various value-adding services such as for managing returns, order picking, order collation and packaging.
In Filderstadt, the existing logistics centre was expanded to include a new logistics facility, which is connected to the existing facility by a transit trafficway.
This is where classic storage, retrieval and order picking operations are carried out.
Other value-adding services such as inspection, packaging or labelling of goods are also provided there.
Various temperature zones (21°C, up to +27°C and from +2 to +8 °C) for storing food products.
