Movu Robotics & Jungheinrich enable high density automated warehouse for Coppenrath & Wiese

Movu Robotics announces its role in a major warehouse automation project at Conditorei Coppenrath & Wiese KG’s headquarters in Mettingen. In collaboration with system integrator Jungheinrich AG, Movu provides its Movu atlas shuttle technology, forming the core of a fully automated packaging warehouse designed to optimize efficiency, throughput, and space utilization.

The high-bay warehouse spans two hall sections with heights of 11.66 and 12.76 meters, offering 2,916 rack storage locations for pallets in multi-depth storage. Central to the system are eight Movu atlas pallet shuttles, operating 24/7 to transport Euro and industrial pallets weighing up to 1,000 kg, as well as containers up to 1,250 kg. With a compact design, precise navigation, and a broad temperature range (-25°C to +45°C), the shuttles adapt to complex or unconventional warehouse layouts.

Flexible automation for complex buildings

For this project, several existing rooms were combined into a single automated system. The building walls were preserved, with strategically positioned openings allowing shuttles to pass between rooms. Multiple entry and exit points support diverse functions, including dispatch, receiving, and co-packing. By enabling pallets to move efficiently between rooms, the system maintains a single-touch process flow throughout the warehouse.

“Movu atlas allows us to fully utilize existing spaces without major structural changes,” said Florian Hamza, Sales Manager at Movu Robotics. “The system’s flexibility, high-density storage, and intelligent software make it well-suited to complex building layouts while supporting efficient operations.”

Intelligent software integration

The Movu Warehouse Execution System (WES) coordinates all warehouse processes in real time. Movu ops converts orders into transport tasks, Movu tower optimizes shuttle allocation and routing, and Movu pilot ensures precise shuttle movement. This modular software framework enables scalable and efficient operations while providing real-time visibility and control.

“Integrating the Movu atlas system allows us to combine high warehouse density with maximum dynamics. This solution makes optimal use of available space while laying the foundation for future growth,” said Claus Bode, Technical Sales Project Manager, Jungheinrich AG.

“Movu atlas allows us to lay the groundwork for even more efficient and automated packaging logistics – all within the existing building structure,” said Tobias Lesting, Engineering Project Manager, Coppenrath & Wiese.

The automated warehouse is scheduled to begin operations in January 2027, marking a significant step forward in packaging materials logistics. Movu atlas shuttle technology demonstrates how flexible, high-density automation can adapt to complex facilities and streamline warehouse processes.
