Intralogistics concept design – Creating future-ready, scalable logistics concepts

We develop future-ready intralogistics concepts for high-performing and cost-effective logistics systems.

Intralogistics concept design focuses on creating a clearly structured target vision that integrates and aligns processes, technologies, layout structures, and material flows.

Drawing on our experience, we establish the foundation for sustainable growth and the reliable development of your logistics operations. The resulting concept provides a robust basis for decision-making throughout subsequent detailed planning and implementation.

Intralogistics concept design is the phase in which requirements and data are used to create an integrated logistics concept and evaluate alternative solutions.

Our approach to intralogistics concept design: End-to-end automation instead of isolated solutions

Every intralogistics concept begins with your specific requirements, products, and processes. Based on these factors, we develop an integrated overall concept.

Future-ready intralogistics concept design: We consider current and future technologies as part of one integrated system. Our concepts combine processes, layout planning, material flow, and IT within a scalable target vision while enabling the subsequent integration of new technologies.
Avoiding isolated solutions: We deliberately avoid automating individual processes in isolation. Instead, we develop end-to-end material flow and warehousing concepts in which processes, technology, and organization are optimally aligned. This prevents outdated structures in which manual activities are simply replaced by automated ones without achieving noticeable improvements in service levels, quality, or cost-effectiveness.
Scalability to minimize risk: Our logistics concepts have a modular structure and can be expanded incrementally. Investments are initiated only when additional capacity is genuinely required – reducing your financial risk while maintaining flexibility.

Our intralogistics concept design services

During the concept design phase, we create transparency and establish a robust basis for decisions regarding your intralogistics system. The objective is to systematically develop and evaluate alternative solutions and derive a viable target concept.

Data analysis and material flow planning

We collect inventory and transaction data, verify its validity, and develop material flow diagrams for both the current and target states. Based on this, future requirements and scenarios can be clearly identified.

Design and dimensioning of intralogistics technologies

We evaluate automation potential-for example, for AGVs, AMRs, or conveyor systems and design key system components at the conceptual level. In addition, we conduct internal static simulations to reliably determine throughput, capacity utilization, and bottlenecks. The goal is to select suitable technologies and system architectures.

Integrated layout planning during the concept design phase

Based on the functional subareas, we develop a coherent overall layout that optimally integrates material flow, layout, and processes.

Investment and economic feasibility assessment

Using our Metroplan Invest Calculation Tool and based on current budget prices, we prepare reliable investment estimates.

Qualitative concept evaluation

We evaluate alternative solutions in a structured manner, weighing their pros and cons using tools such as utility analysis or SWOT analysis, thereby creating a sound basis for decision-making for further planning.

The concept design phase is primarily used to compare alternative solutions and derive a robust target vision for subsequent detailed planning.

Collaborative concept design

We place great importance on working together in joint project teams. This allows us to combine your employees’ specific knowledge with our methods and experience in developing solutions.

By jointly developing requirements, target processes, and concept alternatives, we create transparency and a shared understanding among everyone involved – a key requirement for the project’s continued success.
