Case Study: Playmobil quadruples warehouse capacity with AutoStore

Playmobil quadruples storage capacity with AutoStore

Playmobil, a leading German toy manufacturer, faced the challenge of expanding its spare parts storage capacity within the confines of its existing warehouse footprint in Herrieden, Germany. They needed a solution that could maximize space efficiency while also supporting their goal of achieving climate neutrality by 2027. To meet this challenge, Playmobil partnered with AutoStore to implement its high-density automated storage and retrieval system.

The AutoStore solution implemented by Kardex involved a grid system with over 16,000 bins serviced by 24 energy-efficient robots. This system quadrupled Playmobil's storage capacity within the same space. The results included a 300% increase in storage, enhanced picking efficiency, and significant progress towards sustainability goals due to the robots' low energy consumption. AutoStore provided a reliable and scalable infrastructure to support Playmobil's global operations.
