Initial challenge

Entering the fierce German market required significantly higher efficiency than previous regions to ensure competitiveness. Knuspr needed to launch a highly automated flagship warehouse in Munich while adapting processes dynamically to stay ahead of the market.

Project goal

To design and implement a "goods‑to‑person" automation ecosystem that would maximize throughput, ensure profitability, and serve as a standardized blueprint for future expansion across Europe.

Solution

Building a brain for the supply chain

Logio moved beyond standard consulting to deliver a flexible, high‑speed implementation of robotic technologies, adapting to Rohlik’s dynamic decision‑making pace to create a replicable operational model.

01

Strategy & Assessment

Analyzed the specific demands of the Munich market to determine the necessary level of automation, surpassing previous standards set in the Czech Republic.

02

Multi‑Technology Integration

Implemented a layered automation stack, starting with a dry pipeline for colonial goods and deploying AutoStore for the chilled goods section.

03

Advanced Robotics Deployment:

Introduced Brightpick solutions for dispatch and implemented the company’s first fully robotic picking station to replace manual tasks.

04

Blueprint Creation

Consolidated these technologies into a unified "blueprint" that is now being rolled out to new facilities in Frankfurt, Berlin, and the wider DACH region.

Logio has always been able to go the extra mile beyond the definition of the task. I appreciate very much that it wasn't just a 'consulting hour paid for', but that it was a solution delivered with heart, which in this case helped Rohlik become a profitable company in such a difficult industry as e‑grocery.
