Unitechnik Systems GmbH (Wiehl, Germany)

The automated ULD high-bay warehouse stores unit load devices in a dense, multi-aisle rack served by automated storage-and-retrieval machines (ETVs) and transfer vehicles.

Unitechnik plans and builds complete air cargo terminals, from highly automated ULD high-bay warehouses through to manual handling solutions.

Unitechnik plans and builds automated high-bay warehouses with storage-and-retrieval machines for dense pallet storage, used both as general intralogistics infrastructure and as the storage core of airport cargo facilities.

Unitechnik uses electric monorail systems (Elektrohängebahn / EHB) to move catering carts and slim roll containers through large flight-kitchen facilities on overhead hangers.

Unitechnik integrates automated small-parts warehouses (AKL) and shuttle systems with multi-axis shuttle vehicles for dense storage and fast retrieval of totes and containers.

UniWare is Unitechnik's in-house software platform combining a warehouse management system (LVS), material-flow control (MFS) and infinitely-zoomable system visualisation (VISU) in one product.

Unitechnik supplies and modernises complete airport baggage handling systems covering check-in, X-ray screening, early baggage storage, sorting and reclaim.

Developed by Unitechnik Automatisierungs GmbH, this automatic loading robot uses a patented gripper-hand mechanism to load air cargo into ULD containers without manual handling.

The X-Mover is described by Unitechnik as the only vehicle in the world that combines all functions for the transport and handling of ULDs in a single unit.

Unitechnik designs automated logistics systems for flight kitchens that manage the full catering supply chain — from cart and roll-container transport, through preparation, to aircraft provisioning.
