Aimtec, a technology and consulting company that specialises in the digitalisation of manufacturing and logistics, came home from Germany’s Hannover Messe fairgrounds bearing First Prize in the Factory Innovation Award competition’s “Resilient Factory” category, which it received for the Aimtec DCIx digitalisation platform. The jury makes these awards to companies that help their customers to manage the impacts of supply chain disruptions – so that they can both respond to and prevent these fluctuations.

Aimtec has been working with MALFINI since 2010. Aimtec’s digitalisation platform controls all of the textile distributor’s processes, from the receipt of goods to shipping, as well as the cutting-edge logistics technologies installed at the company. Twenty Kardex and Vertiflex lift racks, Pick by Light technology, and conveyors currently operate at MALFINI’s logistics and distribution centre in Ostrava-Kunčičky. The company recently invested CZK 250 million into the purchase of AutoStore, a unique robotic storage system developed by Element Logic.

el nino parfum, one of Europe’s largest online perfumeries, decided to build a new hall for perfumes and other cosmetics in Nová Paka, Czech Republic. This modern warehouse, from which the company distributes products both throughout the Czech Republic and to Slovakia, Poland, Romania and many other European countries, includes an AutoStore storage system, controlled by the Aimtec DCIx digitalisation platform. The main impulse behind this project was the need to replace manual labour and prevent errors. The owners expect to recover the capital expenditure within five years.

On Tuesday, the German-Czech Chamber of Industry and Commerce (GCCIC) – the largest bilateral chamber of commerce in the Czech Republic – announced the winners of the first annual German Economy Awards. Companies competed in three categories, while another two received a special award.

What’s hidden backstage at a digital factory? The speakers at the 22nd Trends in Automotive Logistics conference searched for the answer. This conference was held on May 16 in Pilsen and brought in nearly four hundred participants. Its organisers – the digitalisation specialist Aimtec in cooperation with IHK Regensburg and DTIHK – made it their goal to provide a space for sharing real-world experience and verified approaches from digitalisation projects in automotive manufacturing, logistics and IT. What were the three central themes for this conference’s speakers? Resilience, flexibility and standardisation.
