Aimtec in Action: We’ve delivered a complete warehouse logic and automation control system at DŘEVO TRUST. The newly added hall is equipped with modern technologies, including: ☑ Kardex vertical storage system ☑ STILL VNA truck ☑ Körber ASRS All these systems are seamlessly managed through the Aimtec DCIx #digitalisation platform, ensuring optimal communication and control of each #warehouse component.
