Intralogistics and -IT Planning

Do you have to deal with the increasing and specific demands of fashion logistics? The textile and clothing industry is a particularly challenging and complex market due to short product life cycles, strong seasonal peaks, different handling of hanging and lying goods, and high dynamics along the supply chain. Changing consumer needs, e-commerce or omnichannel processes, the organization of multiple brands or tenants in one location and the handling of both B2B and B2C complicate planning. Furthermore, many manual processes, particularly in reverse logistics, power current processes.

As textile logistics experts, we understand that the textile industry has its own distinct style. Fashion, as a delicate product, necessitates extra care in logistics. We are familiar with the specific requirements of the fashion industry and know how to ensure that storage and transportation are »wrinkle-free« due to our many years of experience in the logistics industry combined with our knowledge from the textile industry. Our proximity to research also allows us to anticipate future requirements. Because of these capabilities, we are the first point of contact for planning and implementing innovative logistics solutions.

Let´s work together to develop suitable intralogistics solutions tailored to your challenges. We can support you with questions such as:

•  How can I optimize my intralogistics system?
•  Are my processes well-structured and organized?
•  Is my current warehouse technology future-proof?
•  Are there (partially-) automated solutions for my processes?
•  How can I combine fashion and sustainability?
•  How can I increase my service level?
•  Which IT system is the best?

»The excellent cooperation with the Fashion Logistics team has given us a lot of pleasure and has already led to significantly visible improvements in our in-house logistics. The recommendation from one of our service providers to use the Fraunhofer Institute for Material Flow and Logistics IML for the analysis proved to be spot on.«

Thomas Drexler, Head of Logistics at ROY ROBSON FASHION GmbH & Co. KG

»Using differentiated analysis fields, the Fraunhofer IML conducted a thorough and well-founded process analysis. Process flows were identified, and implementation options were determined in an open and professional collaboration. We can now incorporate these findings into the restructuring of processes and strategies, adding value to our daily operations while increasing the efficiency of existing processes. «

Peter Volk,  Division Manager Logistics and Services at BAUR Versand GmbH & Co. KG

 »It was a professional collaboration. Fraunhofer IML was able to get to the heart of complex issues and effectively lead the discussion.«
