Machinery & Plant Engineering / SPECIALISM

Automation & Robotics

Planning carefully for sensitive technology.

Robotics and automation need defined orientations and suitable packaging. We incorporate your technical requirements into dispatch planning.

Robot components, automation modules and control cabinets

01 / THE KEY STEPS

From preparation
to handover.

What matters for Automation & Robotics – and how we turn it into a coordinated transport process.

01 / BEFORE COLLECTION

Goods & packaging

Orientation, centre of gravity and sensitive parts follow your technical instructions. Robots, cabinets and accessories receive their designated packaging or supports.

02 / ON THE ROAD

Transport & timing

Vehicle and loading method are matched to assemblies. Clear access and sufficient space at both ends are part of planning.

03 / AT THE DESTINATION

Handover & records

Handover takes place at the agreed point with clear package allocation. Installation, programming and commissioning are separate from transport.

AGREE IN ADVANCE

Oversized loads, heavy haulage and necessary permits are assessed and quoted per project.

02 / A PLANNING EXAMPLE

Automation integrator → production hall

A robot module and cabinet must arrive together. Orientation, securing and unloading sequence are agreed before collection.

What brings the plan together.

Robot components, automation modules and control cabinets

  • Transport orientation
  • Shock sensitivity
  • Packaging

The goal: coordinate goods, time slots and handover in a single transport order.

03 / FROM REQUIREMENTS TO ORDER

Well prepared.
Precisely planned.

The calculator carries over “Automation & Robotics” as the goods category. Add dimensions, weight, loading sites and product requirements for your actual shipment.

Ship machinery
  1. Specific cargo requirements

    Transport orientation · Shock sensitivity · Packaging.

  2. Packages and load carriers

    Quantity, external dimensions and gross weight per package; packaging condition, stackability and any loading equipment required.

  3. Route and receipt

    Full collection and delivery addresses, goods readiness, opening hours, mandatory receiving slots and reachable contacts.

  4. Documents and coordination

    External dimensions, weight and centre of gravity · Lifting points and loading aids · Protective packaging and unloading plan.

  5. Additional services

    Special handling, records, returns and agreed extra services belong in the transport plan from the outset. The exact scope is agreed before execution.

04 / CHOOSE THE RIGHT TRANSPORT OPTION

Your volume. Your deadline.
One coordinated plan.

Regular goods flows

For recurring volumes, we jointly plan collection frequency, delivery locations and capacity. Loading and receiving slots form the basis of coordination.

Individual shipment

Enter packages, dimensions, weight and the services you need. We then determine the appropriate part-load or full-load solution for your shipment.

Special requirements

For requirements outside automatic pricing, we agree the vehicle, approvals, handling and price individually. Oversized loads, heavy haulage and necessary permits are assessed and quoted per project.

CLARITY BEFORE YOU START

Your questions.
In detail.

Which goods are included in Automation & Robotics?
