The REWE Group is transforming the site within existing premises into a sustainable and innovative logistics hub, incorporating state-of-the-art warehouse technologies. From there, the company will supply its BILLA, BILLA PLUS, BIPA, and ADEG stores, as well as cooperation partners such as gas station shops, with dry goods. “This project is a milestone for our entire company group. With the new logistics centre, we are creating the infrastructure needed for modern, efficient, and sustainable retailing”, explains Peter Maly, REWE Group Board Member for Logistics and Supply Chain Management.

“In Wiener Neudorf, we are building one of Europe’s most modern retail logistics platforms – a sustainable and resilient backbone for our supply chain,” emphasizes Marcel Haraszti, Executive Board Member of REWE International AG. “We are consolidating our goods flows, reducing transport volumes, increasing supply reliability, and creating new jobs for highly qualified employees in logistics, technology, and IT.”

Efficient module mix with high cost-efficiency

The facility will utilize WITRON’s OPM (Order Picking Machinery) and CPS (Car Picking System) solutions, enabling fully automated, semi-automated, and store-friendly stacking of cases onto pallets and roll containers. A unique feature of the CPS solution is that employees pick items in a path-optimized manner – guided by a pick-by-voice system – from a pick front stocked with layer trays, totes, and pallets. Replenishment is handled by stacker cranes.

Small-volume items will be picked directly from storage totes into shipping totes at eight ergonomically designed workstations using the DPS solution and guided by pick-by-light technology. Here too, the pick front is permanently and automatically replenished by stacker cranes. The individual logistics areas are connected via a conveyor system network. An intelligent consolidation strategy ensures optimal load carrier utilization for stores, resulting in significant transport cost savings.

In total, the entire material flow includes almost 550,000 storage locations for pallets, trays, and totes, more than 100 stacker cranes, and 18+ kilometers of conveyor system. All IT, control, and mechanical components are developed and manufactured in-house at WITRON’s headquarters in Parkstein.

“From the very beginning, our goal was to create a leading-edge logistics platform that combines efficiency, sustainability, and supply reliability. By consolidating logistics in Wiener Neudorf, we are also setting the highest standards in digitization and automation of retail logistics”, says Isabella Handler, Overall Project Manager at REWE International AG, emphasizing the importance of technological implementation.

Construction measures – high sustainability standards

The project is also designed with sustainability in mind. Built exclusively on previously developed land, the logistics centre will become the new core of REWE’s logistics operations in Austria and a flagship project for the company’s logistics strategy. Construction is set to begin in the second quarter of 2026, with operations scheduled to start in 2031. Where possible, the new WITRON technology will be integrated into existing buildings. Demolition work will begin in parallel to pave the way for new buildings – all without additional land.

“In Wiener Neudorf, we are building the infrastructure of tomorrow – fully integrated in our nationwide network in Austria. REWE Group’s key objectives are to strengthen supply reliability and reduce CO2 emissions along the entire supply chain”, explains Christian Hörner, Managing Director of Warehousing & Transport at REWE International AG. The logistics centre in Wiener Neudorf marks a major step toward achieving these goals and will serve as a model for REWE Group’s international retail logistics operations.”

A long-standing partnership

“We are proud to be implementing this project together with REWE – a clear sign that the chemistry between our two companies is just right”, says Markus Lang, Project Manager at WITRON. “REWE and WITRON have enjoyed a successful project partnership since 2012. Currently, WITRON is supporting REWE Germany as an implementation partner in a major re-organization initiative at the Neu-Isenburg site, where a semi-automated Case Picking System with aisle-bound picking vehicles is being replaced by the fully automated OPM system featuring 22 COM machines. The REWE site in Henstedt-Ulzburg has also been equipped with WITRON technology and is considered a benchmark in REWE’s German logistics network.”

Limited visibility with Blind warehouses

Blind warehouses are characterised by limited visibility into operations. Inventory counts may be outdated, workflows are manual, and decisions rely on human guesswork or historical trends rather than real-time insights. Why Blind warehouses fall behind:

Inventory inaccuracies: 46% of small to medium sized warehouses report that inaccurate inventory counts cause major fulfilment delays.
Lost productivity: Employees spend unnecessary hours locating stock or manually inputting data.
Delayed decisions: Without a clear operational picture, response times to disruptions are slow.
Cost inefficiencies: Overstocking or stockouts often occur due to poor forecasting and limited data.
Fragmented data: Warehouses often gather data in pieces, leading to disconnected insights that fail to represent the full picture.

The reality is clear: a lack of visibility is no longer sustainable. As customer expectations around speed and accuracy rise, blind decision-making becomes a liability.

What does it mean to become an Observable warehouse?

An Observable warehouse collects and records real-time data from all parts of its operations. This includes: Inventory movement and placement; Autonomous robot paths and performance; Warehouse environmental conditions; Inbound/outbound logistics and cycle times; Labour allocation and productivity.

Being observable doesn’t require full automation overnight. It means implementing systems that can provide visibility through sensors, IoT devices, AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robots), computer vision, or digital twin platforms. For example, Ziegler selected Dexory to provide a scalable, reliable solution capable of operating seamlessly within the warehouse’s existing infrastructure. The deployment of DexoryView has delivered rapid and measurable value for Ziegler’s UK operations, including:

Faster stock recovery and fewer errors: The team is now able to quickly locate missing pallets, detect mispicks early, and address labelling or placement errors in real time – without halting operations. End of costly shutdowns for stock takes: Where full stock takes once required four days and weekend shifts, inventory is now continuously monitored – eliminating the need for disruptive audits and manual reconciliations.

‍The benefits of visibility

Becoming an Observable warehouse is the foundation for all other advancements. Here are several benefits:

Faster, smarter decisions: Managers gain immediate insights to prioritise tasks or reroute workflows.
Increased productivity: Time spent searching, scanning, and checking can be replaced with actionable data.
Reduced waste and errors: Real-time data reduces the risk of duplication, overstocking, or misplaced inventory.
Foundation for AI and automation: Visibility enables the implementation of intelligent systems that require real-time data to operate effectively.

For example, DCL Logistics has realized significant operational gains since deploying DexoryView:

14% increase in pallet location accuracy: With more precise data, the company has improved inventory reliability, reducing errors and improving fulfillment speed.
10x faster inventory counting: Compared to previously trialled drone-based systems, DexoryView delivers a tenfold increase in the speed of inventory counts – without disruption or downtime.
16 hours of labour saved per day: Eliminating manual inventory checks has freed up staff to focus on high-value strategic initiatives, such as warehouse space optimization and customized projects for clients.

Industry trends driving the need for observability

A few big changes in the industry are driving the move toward more Observable warehouses:

E-commerce growth: Faster delivery expectations mean warehouses must be more agile.
Labour shortages: Observable warehouses help optimise limited human resources.
Supply chain volatility: Data visibility enables real-time responsiveness.

According to a 2025 McKinsey report, companies that invested in real-time warehouse visibility were 33% more likely to exceed customer expectations and reduce fulfilment costs.

‍Don’t let lack of visibility hold you back

Warehouses can no longer afford to operate without clarity. The first step toward transformation is simple: see clearly. When you do, every other improvement becomes not just possible, but inevitable. Dexory is already helping warehouses across industries make this critical shift. The journey from blind to observable isn’t just a technology upgrade – it’s a mindset shift toward continuous improvement.

As the industry battles with high turnover and an ageing workforce, the physical demands placed on employees are drawing increased scrutiny. The latest government data shows nearly 40% of UK logistics businesses are struggling to fill vacancies. While automation garners attention, many warehouses still rely heavily on manual processes – and it’s here that equipment upgrades can have the most immediate impact.

“Better conditions start with better equipment,” says Phil Chesworth, Managing Director at Pallet Trucks UK. “If you’re asking someone to lift, push, and transport heavy loads all day, you have a duty to ensure they’re using tools that minimise strain and reduce injury risk. It’s a matter respect, efficiency, and staff wellbeing.”

The company has seen growing demand for ergonomically designed pallet trucks and scissor lift tables that reduce physical stress on workers. These pallets not only help to avoid workplace injuries – a leading cause of absence in logistics – but can also serve as a valuable retention tool.

According to the British Safety Council, musculoskeletal injuries remain one of the most common reasons for long-term sickness among warehouse staff. Providing safer, easier-to-use handling solutions shows a tangible investment in the workforce – which can make all the difference in an industry where margins are tight, and staff loyalty is often hard-won.

“As competition for labour intensifies, we’re finding that companies who invest in the wellbeing of their warehouse teams see better morale, fewer injuries, and greater staff retention,” adds Chesworth. “It’s becoming a competitive necessity, particularly for businesses that cannot afford to compete with industry giants when it comes to pay.”

For businesses looking to future-proof their workforce, investing in the right manual handling equipment could just be the smartest move they make in 2025.

Webinar: How To Navigate The New Logistics Landscape

The post Webinar: Navigating your Supply Chain Journey. Register Now appeared first on Logistics Business.

The Challenge

Jan Tromp Transport Group has been a provider of air cargo transport and storage solutions since 2014, specialising in time-critical and high-tech machinery transport throughout Europe. The Group operates from Eindhoven, providing road feeder services in the Netherlands and to destinations in France, Germany, Belgium and England almost daily. Its planning department works closely with clients to provide a tailoured solution to transport challenges around the clock, 24/7, 365 days a year. For one of the world’s leading semiconductor manufacturers, Jan Tromp Transport Group was tasked with transporting its semiconductor equipment.

The challenge was to find a solution that would allow for efficient loading and unloading of air cargo while maintaining the safety and integrity of the machines during transit. Given the delicate nature and high value of the semiconductor equipment, automated loading was essential.

The Solution

The Modular Rollerbed System with Powered Cargo Rollers from Joloda Hydraroll was selected as it enabled Jan Tromp Transport Group to use standard trailers while ensuring the secure and controlled handling of its air cargo containers. This compatibility allowed Jan Tromp Transport Group to retain all trailer security certificates, approvals, and insulation measures, thereby maintaining their high standards of safety and compliance.

Other features of the Rollerbed System with Powered Cargo Rollers (MRS-PCR) for Jan Tromp Transport Group when operating its road feeder services, include:
• Modularity – The system’s modular design allows it to be easily installed and removed without the need for extensive modifications, enabling businesses to retain build integrity and compliance certifications.
• Slimline Design – The system’s low-profile design (with a height of only 70mm) can be retrofitted into any standard trailer, meaning it can load and transport most varieties of air cargo.
• Pneumatic Operation – The system pneumatically lifts loads onto rollers and enables loading and unloading without the use of forklifts – even oversized cargo such as aerospace engines.

Results

The implementation of the Modular Rollerbed System with Powered Cargo Rollers provided Jan Tromp Transport Group with numerous benefits:
• Increased Efficiency – Semi-automated loading and unloading processes have significantly reduced turnaround times, leading to improved operational efficiency. The system can load a 13.6m trailer in just 90 seconds.
• Enhanced Safety – The powered cargo rollers eliminate reliance on pushing/ pulling which means loading is more controlled, reducing the risk of operators injuring themselves or cargo being damaged.
• Improved Productivity – Faster and more efficient air cargo has enabled the group to increase productivity and meet customer demands more effectively.
• Flexibility and Cost Savings – As the MRS-PCR is modular and can be retrofitted into existing trailers, this provides flexibility and saves money as it removes the need to invest in specialised trailers.

Jan Tromp, Managing Director, stated: “We are extremely pleased with the installation of the new MRS-PCR system. It has enabled us to use standard trailers, without modification, to handle all kinds of air freight with precision and make loading safer for our drivers. This will no doubt have a positive impact on our operations.”

The installation of Joloda Hydraroll’s Modular Rollerbed System with Powered Cargo Rollers is enabling the Jan Tromp Transport Group to safely and efficiently handle even the most delicate air cargo. Due to its innovative, modular design, the system could be retrofitted to the existing trailer fleet, leading to immediate ROI when purchasing new trailers, while unlocking ongoing productivity gains.
