Kurtz Ersa Central Warehouse
Big rush at picture book weather
Open house at Kurtz Ersa Central Warehouse
In order to present the mode of operation of the central warehouse to all Kurtz Ersa employees and the interested general public, an Open Day was held on 7 July, 2018. In addition to an attractive supporting programme which included, among other things, entertainment for the children and a rich diversity of dining options, the focus was on the logistics itself. Three interactive stations allowed visitors to try their hand and find out for themselves how processes run in the central warehouse. Long queues soon formed at the stations that gave visitors an understanding of the processes involved in incoming goods handling, picking in the automated small parts warehouse and stacker operation in the wide-aisle facility.
Following the inauguration celebrations, the Kurtz Ersa logistics staff will be kept busy up to September 2018, ramping up operations in the new premises. Step by step, existing stocks will be disbanded and moved to the new facility. The first step was taken by the existing Ersa external warehouse, which was cleared out as far back as the end of July. This was soon followed by the logistics facility in Bestenheid and most of the warehouse of Kurtz Maschinenfabrik in Wiebelbach – and there is space enough for all this in the logistics staff´s new home: Over 80,000 m³ of enclosed space is available for the high pallet rack. We wish them every success with the tasks ahead!
