BEUMER Group sets new standards

BEUMER Group recently exhibited at LogiMAT 2025 under the motto “Your Partner of Choice”. As a strong partner for the intralogistics industry, BEUMER Group supports companies in automating their processes and counteracting the increasing challenges posed by labour shortages. The new AutoDrop function for the BG Pouch System enables automated, space- and weight-optimised unloading of conveyed goods to ensure a smooth material flow in logistics centres. This innovation is complemented by advanced robotic systems that range from robot-assisted loading of pouch sorters and automatic gripping of products from the bulk flow to emptying containers and packing orders. With these technologies, BEUMER Group is strengthening its role as a pioneer for fully automated lights-out warehouses that enable 24-hour operation.

Efficiency and automation are top priorities in modern logistics centres that are facing growing challenges such as staff shortages and increasing market demands. This is particularly true for companies in the fashion, e-commerce, pharmaceutical, courier, express and parcel services sectors. With the introduction of the AutoDrop function, BEUMER Group offers a simple, robust and reliable solution for pouch sorters that eliminates manual handling during unloading and significantly shortens order throughput times. The BG Pouch System with AutoDrop can process up to 10,000 pieces per line per hour. At the same time, the space required in the unloading area is significantly reduced. The AutoDrop technology is based on an innovative shape memory alloy that is activated by an electric current, enabling automatic opening and closing of the pouches. This process is extremely low-wear and does not burden the pockets with unnecessary weight. Several adjustable unloading points along an unloading route increase flexibility to meet different requirements. The AutoDrop system has already proven itself in the distribution centre of an Italian fashion customer and was presented to the public for the first time at LogiMAT 2025 in Stuttgart.

Efficient robot-assisted automation

BEUMER Group also supports companies in the end-to-end automation of their intralogistics processes with robot-assisted systems. These include systems for loading pouch and sorting systems as well as for automatically picking products from the bulk flow (Dynamic Bulk Pick). In the latter, BEUMER uses standard robots in combination with advanced image recognition technology and artificial intelligence to ensure precise identification and handling of products. This automated approach reduces repetitive manual activities, particularly in the loading or goods receiving area, and frees up operating personnel for other tasks. With the robot-assisted picking of products in mass flow, BEUMER Group enables its customers to automatically feed loop and line sorters with an output of around 1,600 picks per hour (pph).

The range of robot-supported automation also includes container tipping stations and packaging in cartons or shipping bags. In addition, the BEUMER stretch hood provides customers with a stretch hood process for pallets that enables fast and secure packaging of goods for production and handling logistics.
