Energy efficiency
Optimised energy consumption in your warehouse saves the environment and at the same time reduces the operating and maintenance costs of the plant. This ensures not only a clear conscience but also secures your investment in the long term.
Thanks to sound expert knowledge and many years of experience, SSI SCHAEFER facilitates the implementation of energy-efficient storage right at the planning phase for the logistics and the building. Thanks to our unique and wide range of services in intralogistics, we think in systems and total solutions that secure your success efficiently and in the long term.
A selection of topics on which we provide consulting and that we implement together with you:
Logistics planning
- Site selection
What is the location of the building like for customers, does it have the necessary infrastructure? Which paths need to be covered? - Site optimisation
Are all the existing areas and buildings being used efficiently? - How does the overall energy balance work in practice?
Building planning
- Use of renewable energies
What options are there in the field of photovoltaics, geothermics or solar thermals? - Lighting
Have energy-saving lights been installed? Is there a concept for security lighting? - Heating
Are there any sensible additional extras such as pellet heating, district heating from bio gas plants or black lights? - Building activities
Is there a feasible energy-optimised design for the roof and facade that could be realised? Is there sufficient insulation on the gates, doors and locks?
Energy efficiency right from the start
When planning and implementing an SSI SCHAEFER warehouse and order picking system, energy efficiency is also a fixed part of the system planning work.
