VANDERLANDE’S FLOW SORT CONTROLLER SUPPORTED PEAK SEASON 2023
In 2019, Markus Ehrmann faced a difficult challenge when Vanderlande’s Flow Sort
Controller (FSC) system encountered issues at several of Amazon’s European
sites. The online retailer’s intense operational demands pushed the system to
its limits, and for a company obsessed with customer satisfaction, even the
smallest delays in service are unacceptable…
UNDERSTANDING AN AUTOMATED SYSTEM’S MAINTENANCE NEEDS
Once a distribution centre’s (DC) or fulfilment operation’s automated system is
in place, it’s in the best interest of facility managers, owners and operators
to keep it running reliably and at peak performance. That ensures both maximum
productivity and return on investment (ROI). However, in order to achieve
optimal uptime, it’s important to understand the facility’s expectations, and
plan the maintenance and service programme accordingly.
PASSENGER TERMINAL EXPO 2025
Vanderlande will be joining the Netherlands Pavillion at Future Travel
Experience (FTE) APEX Asia Expo, taking place at the Marina Bay Sands Expo and
Convention Centre in Singapore from 19 to 20 November 2024.
BONFIX
When BONFIX B.V. decided to build a new distribution centre, it chose
Vanderlande as its automation partner. The goods-to-person order fulfilment
solution FASTPICK is not only helping this family business to manage large
volumes of ever-growing orders quickly and efficiently – it’s also won over
employees by making their jobs more rewarding.
SEASON’S GREETINGS 2024
FROM CRISIS TO COMEBACK
With nearly 15 years’ experience at Vanderlande and a strong track record
working with Amazon since 2018, Colin Marnane had seen and overcome it all – or
so he thought. However, just four years into this partnership, was the
relationship with Amazon about to come to an abrupt end?
CONCRETE PROBLEMS, CREATIVE SOLUTIONS
With a career at Amazon spanning almost ten years, Michael Erhard has been
fortunate to work on nearly every one of the company’s European fulfillment
centers. Each project taught him something new, but one in particular stands out
as the most challenging…
VÁCLAV HAVEL AIRPORT PRAGUE
In 2019, Vanderlande began work on a major expansion and refurbishment of two
baggage handling systems (BHS) at Prague Airport. The goal was to help both
Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 cope with increasing passengers numbers, as well as
bring the airport into compliance with ECAC Standard 3 screening regulations and
improve links between the terminals.
MEET THE EXPERT: ADAPTO AUTOMATED STORAGE AND RETRIEVAL SYSTEM
Join Michelle Borm, Bart de Rooij, and Matthijs Morshuis in this edition of our
Meet the Expert Vlog as they delve into the automatic storage and retrieval
system ADAPTO, our highly automated goods to person solution.
VANDERLANDE RECOGNISED AS A “CHALLENGER” IN PRESTIGIOUS AWARD FOR INNOVATIVE
SUSTAINABILITY
Vanderlande has been named as a runner-up in a prestigious award for a project
to remanufacture parts of a sortation solution widely used by the parcel
industry. The company received recognition as a Challenger for the “Top
Sustainability Initiative” at the Digital Engineering Awards 2024, which were
held in Dallas on 5 December.
THE RACE TO DELIVER AMAZON’S FIRST EUROPEAN ARS FULFILMENT CENTER
When it comes to working with Amazon, few people in Vanderlande have as much
experience as Stephan Gather, who was involved in the first collaboration back
in 1999. He was to need all that know-how when project managing “MAN1” in the
UK. The Manchester site was to become the first Amazon Robotics Sortable (ARS)
facility in Europe – and the job had to be turned around to a tight deadline.
VANDERLANDE REOPENS REVERSE LOGISTICS CENTRE TO DRIVE REUSE, REMANUFACTURING AND
RECYCLING
Vanderlande is proud to announce the reopening of its Reverse Logistics Centre
in Veghel, The Netherlands. The centre will help us take the next steps as we
maximise the value of returned materials by focusing on reuse, remanufacturing
and recycling.
AN “INTENTS” COLLABORATION WITH VANDERLANDE!
When the upper floor of a brand new Amazon fulfilment center needed to be water
blasted, Zofia Sobiech, her team and supplier Vanderlande had to think outside
the box – or should we say inside the tent – to protect the equipment below…
WEATHERING THE PERFECT STORM
When four major Amazon projects landed all at once – and three senior team
members unexpectedly resigned – Stephen Kramar, Director of Project Management,
found himself stepping into multiple roles, and rallying his team through one of
the most challenging periods of his career.
DEN5 – MISSION IMPOSSIBLE?
A Senior Site Manager at the time, Kevin Petrie was tasked with overseeing the
execution of a high-stakes project that would shape Amazon’s future in robotics.
However, when a key supplier announced a major delay, Kevin and his team would
have to accept the challenge of “mission impossible” to keep the project on
track.
FROM ARUBA TO AMAZON
At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Anna Pereira faced a daunting new
challenge: relocating from Barcelona to Cincinnati to work on one of Amazon’s
largest air hub projects. With international borders closed to most travelers, a
direct flight wasn’t an option. The solution? A 14-day quarantine on the
tropical island of Aruba before flying on to the USA.
WE EVEN GAVE AMAZON THE KEYS TO OUR OFFICE!
In 2017, Remko van Gils was tasked with setting up Vanderlande’s branch in
Seattle, specifically to service Amazon’s needs and be close to the key
decision-makers. When it comes to managing projects, the company’s sense of
urgency and speed has always been unmatched, but would moving across the
Atlantic really add value to the relationship?
“WE TURNED A PROBLEM INTO A SUCCESS STORY”
In 2019, Markus Ehrmann faced a difficult challenge when Vanderlande’s Flow Sort
Controller (FSC) system encountered issues at several of Amazon’s European
sites. The online retailer’s intense operational demands pushed the system to
its limits, and for a company obsessed with customer satisfaction, even the
smallest delays in service are unacceptable…
“LIKE BUILDING A CAR – WHILE YOU’RE STILL DRIVING IT!”
Greg Tirevold had spent most of his decade-long career at Vanderlande working
with Amazon before one particular project would leave a lasting impact. In 2018
he was invited to Seattle to design a new robotic sortation facility. This would
put Greg in charge of a demanding schedule, far from home and for much longer
than expected…
AIR HUB NEGOTIATIONS HELP RELATIONSHIP TAKE FLIGHT
Having joined Vanderlande in 1996, Geert Visser has been witness to the
developing relationship with Amazon since the companies first joined forces.
While the initial projects were relatively small, a significant shift happened
when he entered a crucial negotiation over automating Amazon’s first air hub…
25 YEAR PARTNERSHIP AMAZON
Vanderlande and Amazon have enjoyed a robust 25-year partnership that has
significantly shaped the landscape of fulfillment and logistics. Over the past
quarter-century, Vanderlande has delivered numerous projects for Amazon’s
fulfillment network, primarily in Europe and the USA. These projects have
included the construction of Amazon Robotics Sortables (ARS) Fulfillment Centers
and Sort Centers, as well as the recent addition of Inbound Cross-Docking (IXD)
systems This long-standing collaboration is a testament to the commitment and
dedication of both companies to innovation and customer satisfaction. The
partnership has not only strengthened Vanderlande’s position as a key player in
the logistics industry […]
DELIVERING A FIRST SORT CENTER TO AMAZON’S EUROPEAN OPERATIONS
According to Sales Consultant Jos Peeters, sticking to tight deadlines and
working the Amazon way were essential when Vanderlande was delivering its first
high-capacity sortation system to Amazon’s European operations back in 2019. The
sort center in Berlin (BER8) would be handling 25,000 packages every hour, as
Amazon moved towards offering a next-day delivery service.

warehousing, airports and parcel sectors, has signed an agreement to acquire
Siemens Logistics – a leading provider of value-added baggage and cargo handling
as well as transformational digital solutions for the airport operation of the
future – from the company’s current owner Siemens.
MATCHING AUTOMATION TECHNOLOGIES TO WAREHOUSING PROCESSES
Automation technology is continuously advancing and entering the market as
solutions providers unveil new innovations to help facilities increase
efficiency. That proliferation of solutions, however, can make it challenging
for operations just starting their automation journey to match the optimal
technologies to specific warehousing and fulfillment process needs.
VANDERLANDE’S PARCELTRAX SOLUTION WINS TOP AWARD AT PARCEL+POST EXPO 2024

Expo in Amsterdam from 22 to 24 October. This new-to-market solution has been
designed to automate small parcel handling, traditionally a time-consuming
manual operation.

GROUP
Vanderlande has secured a contract to install sorting technology at one of DHL
Group’s “MechZB” last-mile depots at Regensburg in southern Germany. This latest
project builds on the original MechZB programme, through which Vanderlande
equipped 74 sites across the country since 2014.
OMAN AIRPORTS | LIFE-CYCLE SERVICES

BHS was in safe and reliable hands and chose Vanderlande for these important
tasks. A three-year O&M contract was originally signed in 2015, and this has
subsequently been extended in 2018 from 2022 until 2028.

PLANNING IS CRITICAL FOR THE SUCCESSFUL INTEGRATION AND EXPANSION OF AUTOMATION
For companies looking to automate their warehousing, distribution, or
fulfillment operations, one of the first decisions to make is about the
building. Will automation be added into an existing operation? Or does new
greenfield construction make more sense? Regardless of the ultimate choice, it’s
critical to work through a comprehensive internal planning process.
EXPLORE THE ADVANTAGES OF GOODS-TO-PERSON AUTOMATION
With picking widely recognised as the most labour intensive—and costly—process
in a conventional, manual facility, deploying an automated solution can make a
significant impact on both. In particular, goods-to-person (GtP) automation
offers numerous advantages to those operations.
3 GOALS TO ACHIEVE WITH WAREHOUSE AUTOMATION
Warehouses and distribution centres considering automation do so for a variety
of reasons. But there are a handful of objectives that consistently rise to the
top when considering automated solutions. Learn more about the top 3 goals these
companies set out to achieve with warehouse automation.
5 REASONS TO AUTOMATE YOUR FULFILMENT OPERATIONS
Whether you’re a general merchandise omnichannel retailer, selling apparel and
accessories exclusively online or a grocer replenishing stores, you’re probably
thinking about automation if you’re currently fulfilling orders manually. The
dynamic changes in recent years demand unprecedented levels of agility and
resilience from retailers – levels that conventional, manual processes simply
cannot achieve. Here are 5 reasons why you should automate your fulfilment
operations.
SALES TOOL: NEW BLOCKS
There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.
CAN INDIVIDUAL CARRIER SYSTEMS BE A GOOD FIT FOR SMALLER AIRPORTS?
Over the past decade, the rapid increase in passenger traffic volumes and the
evolution of technology have made individual carrier systems (ICS) a more
popular proposition. Airports of all sizes are now showing interest in ICS
technology. This prompts a critical question: do ICS offer the same benefits
when implemented in smaller footprints?
MEET THE EXPERT: PARCELTRAX – AUTO-CONSOLIDATED BAGGING
Join Brendan Mathews, Product Manager for PARCELTRAX, in our latest Meet the
Expert vlog as we delve into the evolving world of small parcel handling. Learn
how Vanderlande’s PARCELTRAX is designed to address the challenges of increased
e-commerce demands and labour shortages with innovative automation solutions.
Featuring insights from experts Henny van Boxtel and Christian Schneeberger,
this episode highlights how new technologies are transforming parcel sorting
processes.
THE FIRST OF MANY: ONE PROJECT THAT SPARKED A GLOBAL COLLABORATION
Thomas Blotzki is a Sales Director with Vanderlande, and for the past ten years
he has exclusively looked after Amazon’s needs in Europe and the rest of the
world, outside North America. That’s a huge amount of business these days, and
Thomas has worked on countless projects stretching back two decades. However, it
was somewhat different back in 1999, when he was asked to take care of
Vanderlande’s first project with Amazon in Europe: code name “Big River”.
KAPPAHL GROUP CHOOSES VANDERLANDE’S FASTPICK TO AUTOMATE NEW LOGISTICS CENTRE
Leading Nordic fashion retailer Kappahl Group has chosen Vanderlande to automate
a new logistics centre which will be located in the greater Gothenburg area in
Sweden. The two companies have signed a contract for the installation of
Vanderlande’s FASTPICK solution at the 34,000m2 facility, which is expected to
go live in June 2026.
FROM LOCKDOWNS TO LAUNCH, VANDERLANDE DELIVERED A FIRST FOR AMAZON IN AUSTRALIA
Fitting out Amazon’s first fully automated fulfillment center in Australia would
be challenge enough, but Vanderlande also had to carry out most of the work at
the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Rumo de Schutter, Director Project
Management, reveals how a committed team and strong organizational skills got
the project over the line, helping Amazon to start building its automated
network down under.
BUILDING AMAZON’S AIR HUB THROUGH COLLABORATION AND INNOVATION
Tjabe van Es was Vanderlande’s Project Director when it undertook one of its
biggest projects for Amazon – designing and installing a sorting system in their
first air hub at Cincinnati International (CVG) Airport, Kentucky. In this blog,
Tjabe looks back on the challenges this presented both companies, and how they
worked together to ensure it was on time and budget.
PARCELTRAX
PARCELTRAX is an auto-consolidated bagging system dedicated to small parcel
handling.
FAST FORWARD > DHL EXPRESS MADRID HUB
We last visited DHL Express Madrid’s (DHL) 14,500 m2 air hub at Barajas Adolfo
Suarez Airport just after it opened in 2018. In this edition of Fast Forward, we
go back to the state-of-the-art facility to see how Vanderlande’s parcel
sortation system is increasing capacity for the company’s national and
international services.
AUTOMASJON 2024
VANDERLANDE INSTALLS ADVANCED AUTOMATION SOLUTION TO HELP ASICS OCEANIA MANAGE
GROWTH
Vanderlande is currently installing a state-of-the-art logistic process
automation system at ASICS Oceania’s Marsden Park distribution centre (DC) in
Sydney, Australia. With the DC nearing its capacity in its current
configuration, this new solution marks a pivotal step in helping ASICS manage
its strong growth pathway. Handover is scheduled for April 2025.
VANDERLANDE DELIVERS ROBOT TECHNOLOGY TO DHL
DHL Express Madrid Hub has integrated a robot into its sorting process after
taking part in a successful pilot project with Vanderlande. The solution – known
as Robot Auto Induct – performed impressively in tests and is now fully
operational at DHL’s airport facility, where it helps to service the company’s
domestic and international parcel business.
JOINING FORCES WITH AMAZON TO DELIVER AUTOMATION IN THE MIDDLE EAST
Vanderlande is currently working with Amazon to provide automation at a new
fulfillment center in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. This is the first collaboration
between the two companies in the Middle East region, and one which is creating a
number of challenges and opportunities, as Vanderlande Sales Engineer Anique
Erens explains.
SOWING THE SEEDS OF SUCCESS WITH OUR FIRST CONTRACT IN THE USA
Vanderlande’s first contract with Amazon in the USA was for the supply and
installation of two sorters at an existing fulfillment center in Fernley,
Nevada. Erwin van Lierop oversaw the project, which was undertaken at a time
when Vanderlande was just starting to build its organization in the country.

Bartelet and Frans Wijnheijmer reveal all about this system and its specific
enablers.
UNLEASH THE POWER OF ROBOTIC ITEM PICKING IN YOUR WAREHOUSE
Robots equipped with efficient gripping combined with sophisticated software
intelligence are a truly viable alternative to human operators. However, making
the most of these robotic recruits depends on their integration into an
overarching automated logistics system.

ARE AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES THE WAY TO SOLVE OPERATIONAL CHALLENGES IN YOUR
WAREHOUSE?
For the past five years, I’ve been part of the Vanderlande team that has been
developing and delivering autonomous vehicle (AVs) solutions. There’s no doubt
in my mind that this exciting form of technology can help modern warehouse
operators deal with issues such as fluctuations in demand, a large variety
products, and the rising cost and scarcity of labour.

FIRST-TIME WAREHOUSE AUTOMATION – A LIVE CUSTOMER INTERVIEW
Do you think that automation could be the way forward for your business? And if
so, are you wondering where to begin? These are some of the questions that we
address in this webinar.
SORTING SMALLS/FLYERS
SORTING REGULARS
SORTING IRREGULARS
AIRTRAX POCKET
AIRTRAX is an innovative and reliable family of products for transporting,
sorting, sequencing and storing hanging goods. It delivers unrivalled benefits
throughout any hanging goods handling operation.
VERTISORTER
The VERTISORTER is typically used as a pre-sort unit to split irregular parcels
or documents from a flow of regular parcels.
ANDREW MANSHIP APPOINTED AS VANDERLANDE’S NEXT CEO
Vanderlande is pleased to announce the appointment of Andrew Manship as its next
Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Andrew will take up the position on 1 January
2024, succeeding current CEO, Remo Brunschwiler, who has the intention to end
his executive management career on 31 December 2023 and thereafter transition to
non-executive management positions.
REGULAR EQUIPMENT INSPECTION
It’s crucial you safeguard the equipment that is integral to your operation –
and protect it from cybersecurity threats. Regular inspections are peace of mind
that your systems are performing at their best.
UNLOAD/TRANSFER BREAK
Our solutions will help you to efficiently manage the unloading of arrival and
transfer baggage. All bags are unloaded manually, or with a lifting aid, and
belt conveyors have been configured as unloading quays.
RECLAIM
Our future-proof baggage reclaim solutions make optimal use of space. They also
incorporate a modular design to easily integrate into your facility.
BAGLOAD
Integrated robot loading is no longer a technology for tomorrow – in fact it’s
here today and has the potential to transform your make-up operations. We have
the expertise to integrate robotics into your baggage make-up areas.
HOW CASE PICKING ROBOTS HELP WAREHOUSES DEAL WITH LABOUR CHALLENGES
Many jobs in omni-channel retail, e-commerce and grocery warehouses become
exceedingly difficult to fill. Meanwhile, online shoppers expect a wide
selection of SKUs to be available at low prices, and delivered fast and free.
How to maintain the productivity levels that keep customers happy, without
enough available labour?
OPTIMISING YOUR FOOTPRINT WHILE HANDLING SMALLS
The parcel industry is managing an exponential increase in small packages, due
to the popularity of online shopping and e-commerce. How to efficiently process
all those individual parcels, especially if you’re struggling with labour
shortage and a lack of space?
XDOCK
Our cross-dock solution – XDOCK – provides an effortless way to automate
stockless operations. This will help you to reduce delivery times as you
directly ship products to stores on an on-demand basis.
PALLETISING
Optimal stacking patterns can significantly lower the cost of filling your store
shelves. The trick is to ensure that pallets are selected in the same sequence
of product groups as your store’s layout.
TRAYSORTER
Our TRAYSORTER (or Bombay sorter) is a highly flexible flat sorter, which can
handle a wide range of products. From clothing and accessories, to shoe boxes
and multimedia items, this is the most efficient choice for a portfolio of small
and lightweight products.
CIRCULAR ECONOMY
We’re taking a more circular approach to our solutions, as well as introducing
circularity as a requirement in product and supplier criteria. Central to our
work is reusing, recycling and remanufacturing as much as possible as we
implement our Supplier Code of Conduct.
WELLBEING
Much of our success as a company depends on our people, and creating a working
environment that offers a fulfilling experience. That means protecting those
working with our solutions, encouraging more women into our workforce, and
offering training and career development.
GOOD BUSINESS
A growing number of laws and regulations affect our business. The Good Business
programme ensures compliance, while helping us maintain high ethical standards.
As part of this programme, we are strengthening vetting of suppliers, investing
more in cybersecurity and embedding risk management into our operations.
ZERO CARBON FOOTPRINT
We’ve created a roadmap to identify the main areas where we can reduce emissions
upstream, downstream and in our own operations. We will be designing more
energy-efficient solutions and products, and working closely with suppliers to
reduce emissions from parts, components and equipment.

LOADING
The flow of parcels, pallets, cages and irregular goods comes together at the
outgoing docks. This is where they are consolidated to match the various
delivery vehicles.
SORTING
UNLOADING
GOODS RECEIVING
INTERNAL TRANSPORT
The internal transport that connects all logistic processes within your
warehouse or distribution centre plays a key role in the effective use of
automated sortation, storage and order-picking systems.
PACKING
Consumers increasingly want their goods delivered in the right packaging – just
one of many current logistical considerations for packing. Help is close at hand
because we can tackle any challenge, as long as we have a laser sharp
understanding of your situation and desired output.
PICKING
Order picking – also known as order fulfilment – is the process of retrieving
products from storage in order to meet a specific customer demand. Processing
orders rapidly and accurately has a direct impact on customer satisfaction.
SHIPPING
Shipping is the final piece of the warehousing jigsaw – and it needs to be spot
on to keep consumers happy. Introducing automated order and shipping
consolidation systems will enhance the efficiency of loading dollies, pallets
and roll cages. This in turn improves store-friendly delivery and cuts transport
costs.
SORTATION
STORAGE (AS/RS)
Take a load off your plate with automated storage and retrieval (AS/RS). Labour
scarcity, the rising cost of floor space and increasing consumer demands may
well be issues of concern, but the right storage system is the game changer.
BAG SORTATION
Are you looking for the most economical and reliable solution to handle larger
volumes of baggage? If the answer is “yes”, then you need to invest in automated
sortation.
MAKE-UP
Optimising storage, saving floorspace and managing internal traffic patterns –
the ingredients for a perfect flight make-up that matches your needs.
FINDING PEACE OF MIND PICKING THE RIGHT WAREHOUSE AUTOMATION
When it comes to warehouse automation, the market has a lot of suppliers and
systems to choose from. So how can you be confident that you are making the best
decision?

2021: THE YEAR OF EVOLUTION IN FOOD E-COMMERCE
In many respects, 2020 was a dynamic and pivotal year for food retailers. But
rather than reiterating the effects of the pandemic in this blog, let’s look
ahead and analyse what retailers can expect when it comes to e-commerce. It’s
fair to say that the future is looking bright and should be approached with a
healthy dose of optimism.
AVS AND WHERE THEY CAN TAKE US – AND OUR BAGS
Autonomous vehicles are a relatively new arrival on the airports scene, but what
are the most important lessons the industry needs to learn about their use? And
how will airports change if AVs are fully mobilised?
ASSESSING THE BENEFITS OF ‘END-TO-END’ THINKING AT AIRPORTS

of CO2 by 2022.

accessories, cosmetics and perfume, as well as furniture and home accessories.
WHEN FACING UNCERTAINTY, PREPARATION IS KEY
What 2020 has shown us is that parcel and warehouse companies must prepare for
every eventuality. Safeguarding a reliable process leads to predictive system
behaviour, high availability and excellent overall performance. What steps can
we take today, in order to better prepare for an uncertain future?
SECURITY CHECKPOINTS: BALANCING SECURITY AND PASSENGER EXPERIENCE
It will take time for passengers to become comfortable with travelling again.

HOW TO FUTURE-PROOF THE PARCEL MARKET
In an age of high demand and instant access, it’s impossible to imagine a world
without e-commerce. Expectations for rapid deliveries have become embedded in
the way consumers think about products and services. How can this be
facilitated?
VANDERLANDE PROUD TO RECEIVE HIGHEST RATING IN BEST EMPLOYER SURVEY
Vanderlande is proud to have received the highest rating of three stars in the

commitment to the principles surrounding this regenerative system as part of its
CSR strategy.
VANDERLANDE’S EVOLUTIONS TO BE SHOWCASED AT LOGIMAT
E-commerce is changing consumers’ expectations. They now demand speed, accuracy
and flexibility throughout the entire ordering and delivery process. When they
buy a product online, they might want it delivered that day or prefer to pick it
up themselves – at a time and location that suits them. They also want the
option to change their mind or return a product easily. In response, Vanderlande
has defined evolutions, which have been created to support the desired growth
strategy of its customers. They can be scaled up as required, facilitate the
efficient handling of returns, provide high throughput rates and shorter […]
CHANGING THE GAME FOR LOOSE LOADS
In today’s parcel market, larger volumes, next- and same-day deliveries,
timeslot- and location-specific deliveries, as well as a higher diversity of
goods are generating fresh challenges for parcel operators. Will AGVs and
robotics be the game changer for loose loads?
VANDERLANDE JOINS PIONEERING ROBOTICS RESEARCH PROJECT
Vanderlande has joined the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) and other
partners to develop industrial robots that will operate with increased
independence and autonomy. The project – called FAST (new Frontiers in
Autonomous Systems Technology) – aims to develop mobile robots with increased
flexibility, which allows them to function more effectively in environments that
undergo frequent change.
PROCESS ENGINEERING POINTS TO THE FUTURE
Process engineers aim to continuously optimise system performance and
operational processes in material handling operations. One of the latest data
science methodologies we use for this is ‘process mining’. Special algorithms
are applied to event data recorded by any information system in order to
identify trends and patterns. But why has it become such a hot topic for the
logistics sector?
TAIWAN AIRPORT SELECTS VANDERLANDE FOR PRESTIGIOUS BAGGAGE HANDLING CONTRACT
The Taoyuan International Airport Corporation (TIAC) has awarded Vanderlande a

innovative ways to integrate sustainable practices into our business model. Such
opportunities can sometimes come in the most surprising of places and the
reimagining of our depreciated baggage carriers proved to be just that.
BERGEN AIRPORT
Bergen Airport has grown to become the second-busiest airport in Norway. Under
the ownership of the Avinor Group – a state-owned organisation that operates 45
airports in the country – Bergen’s expansion has been both consistent and
positive. Passenger numbers have increased steadily and as a result, Bergen
opened a new terminal in the summer of 2017.
SUCCESSFUL SHOWCASE AT INTER AIRPORT 2017
Vanderlande enjoyed a successful appearance at this year’s inter airport Europe
exhibition. The event, which was held from 10-13 October at the Munich Trade
Fair in Germany, was an excellent opportunity to showcase its latest
innovations. The theme for 2017 focused on the rising demand for digitalisation
and automation systems.
HOME SHOPPING MEETS INTRALOGISTICS
Looking back at Christmas sales from 2016, one thing is clear: bricks-and-mortar

Christian Schneeberger, Product Group manager at Vanderlande, tells you all
about it in his blog.
AMSTERDAM AIRPORT SCHIPHOL
Amsterdam Airport Schiphol has long been at the heart of Europe’s aviation
industry. However, growth has been higher than anticipated in recent times, and

for everyone! Merijn Buitelaar tells us about his three pillars of safety, and
how we can all benefit from embracing our ‘inner samurai’.

ifm’s old warehouse was too small to handle its next phase of development. For
its new warehouse, Vanderlande proposed ADAPTO, a highly flexible 3D storage,
retrieval and transportation system.
DOES DIVERSITY IN STORE LAYOUTS LEAD TO ADDITIONAL LOGISTICS COSTS?
When was the last time you watched shelves being stacked at your local store?
You would probably imagine that this is a streamlined operation, with staff
poised for trucks to arrive so they can…
RECIO
Recio’s continued growth meant the system was approaching its peak capacity by
2012. To faciliate future growth, Recio needed an order processing system that
combined state-of-the-art technology with traditional methods.
