Automation, simulation and ramp‑up for automotive and industrial plants
We design plant logistics, automate warehouses and line feeding, and get new production running on the planned date. From the first concept to handover, with one team responsible for the result.

What automotive and industrial plants deal with
A fixed start of production
The launch date is set by the customer. Logistics, lines and people have to be ready on that day, not later.
Line feeding and sequencing
Parts must reach the line in the right order and at the right time, with less manual handling.
Space and layout
Growth has to fit into existing halls, so every square meter of production and storage space counts.
Maintenance and spare parts
Unplanned downtime costs more than the parts that would have prevented it, and spare parts stock grows without control.
What we solve as consultants
Automated warehouses
An automated small‑parts warehouse for Škoda Auto in Kvasiny replaced 42 manual workplaces; the AKL at Volkswagen Slovakia holds 170,000 KLT containers.
Dynamic simulation
A digital model of the future operation to compare layouts and technologies before investing. At Continental it accelerated the ramp‑up of production in the Czech Republic.
Production ramp‑up
Grupo Antolin Turnov started a new interior production line on the original target date with our crisis management, material flow design and simulation.
Production and automation design
Robotized battery sequencing for an automotive assembly line, with vision verification and a projected 3.5‑year payback.
Maintenance strategy
At Z‑Group Steel planned maintenance rose by 50%, repairs got shorter and unplanned downtime less frequent.
Spare parts management
ORLEN Unipetrol cut spare parts inventory value by 25% and eliminated the risk of critical‑part stockouts.
Data and reporting
Forecasting and BI
SKF introduced short‑term demand forecasting with up to 90% accuracy and manages more than 100 million records in Power BI.
Cooperation with Logio was very effective. We were able to quickly move from analyzing and structuring processes to their detailed specification. In doing so, we managed to take into account a number of specifics without which the maintenance of railway vehicles would be unimaginable today. Thanks to this, we are able to submit specific realistic requirements to the EAM system implementer before starting the actual implementation analysis.
The aim of the project from SIGMA was to optimize warehouse management and production capacities with regard to the ongoing revitalisation of the production hall. The analysis by Logio gave us answers to key questions, both in terms of production and storage capacities, and the need to adapt the hall in terms of the company's future development.
Automation projects
Automated small‑parts warehouse for Škoda Auto
Logio designed and implemented an automated small‑parts warehouse for Škoda Auto in Kvasiny, replacing 42 manual workplaces and saving €1.07 million per year while automating the flow from suppliers to the assembly line.
42 manual workplaces saved
€1.07 million in annual savings
12 rack stackers and 4 robotic arms in one automated system
Automated small‑parts warehouse for Volkswagen Slovakia
A new automated AKL at Volkswagen Slovakia provides high‑capacity storage and precise, software‑driven sequencing of KLT containers, supporting growing model complexity while keeping the project on time, on budget and more ecological.
170,000 KLT storage capacity in the new warehouse
1,320 KLT containers dispatched per hour in exact production sequence

Production and maintenance
Production ramp‑up and dynamic simulation for Continental
Dynamic simulation accelerated Continental’s production ramp‑up in the Czech Republic. The optimal setup met the plan, reduced fixed and operating costs, and stabilized day‑to‑day operations.

Stable daily operations
Spare parts inventory optimization for ORLEN Unipetrol
Inventory value cut by 25% while safeguarding the availability of mission‑critical spare parts.
‑25% inventory value
Eliminated risk of critical‑part stockouts
Questions about automotive and industrial projects
Both. We prepare the concept and business case, select the supplier and manage delivery through to go‑live and handover.
Yes. Dynamic simulation tests layouts, technologies and capacities on a digital model of the operation before any equipment is ordered.
Both. Many projects reorganize space in running halls, for example the layout at SIGMA Group, which freed more than 1,300 m².
Yes. At Grupo Antolin we joined a project at risk and the line started on the original date.
