On November 10, 1847, J.C. Jacobsen founded the Carlsberg company in Copenhagen, Denmark. After decades of research and continuous development, Carlsberg is now one of the world's top three breweries, selling 114 million bottles of beer a day. From the Hamburg cult beer Astra, to the typical North German Holsten, Carlsberg is broadly positioned. The main focus here, in addition to high quality, is of course on the issue of sustainability, which is promoted, among other things, through sustainable resource procurement. Thanks to strong partners, the Carlsberg Group is able to offer its products in over 100 countries worldwide.
Modernization of the high-bay warehouse:
In order to avoid capacity bottlenecks in warehouse logistics, the work was carried out one after the other on one storage and retrieval system at a time, in a so-called ring swap. The individual gearmotors were removed and reinstalled in each aisle at a height of six meters. In this way, every two weeks a used gearmotor was exchanged for a freshly overhauled drive. Each exchange of a gearmotor on the storage and retrieval system took about five hours.
SEW-EURODRIVE was responsible for:
In order to ensure the same operational reliability as in the last 13 years, Carlsberg and SEW-EURODRIVE, together with the equipment manufacturer SSI Schäfer, which is now responsible for the operation and maintenance of the warehouse in Fredericia, have decided that all gearmotors responsible for lifting the load handling device must be checked and overhauled. By modernizing products that are already in place, not only the time for maintenance work is reduced. It is also a more sustainable and therefore environmentally friendly way of extending the service life of a system and ensuring operational reliability in the most resource-efficient way possible. The work took place in close cooperation between SEW-EURODRIVE and SSI Schäfer. All targets were achieved, some even exceeded.
"We had a really good cooperation - SEW-EURODRIVE, SSI Schäfer and Carlsberg. There are always challenges with projects like this, where you have to replace a 900 kg gearmotor while it is running, but we solved them very well together. With the completion of the project, we have improved operational reliability, and we no longer have any unplanned stops of the gearmotor. And of course we are very happy about that."Morten Randa, Teamlead Logistics at Carlsberg
"Since commissioning, the SSI Schaefer service team has been permanently on site and ensures maximum efficiency of the intralogistics system and its excellent performance. The service employees support Carlsberg in monitoring, controlling, and immediately eliminating malfunctions. Together with SEW-EURODRIVE, we are able to provide Carlsberg with the latest technologies without downtime. We are very satisfied with the cooperation and the results we have achieved together."Tobias Møller-Madsen, Site Manager at SSI Schäfer
