After receiving the order in 2024, Hörmann Intralogistics has put an "AutoStore" system into operation for Cargo-Partner GmbH as planned. The new storage area was implemented on the existing mezzanine at the "iLogistics Center Vienna" in Fischamend, which was opened in 2018 in an ecological timber construction, according to a press release from Hörmann Intralogistics dated July 7.
With the project, Cargo-Partner is expanding its capacities in spare parts logistics and strengthening its position
as a 3PL provider in a dynamic market environment. The core of the solution is an "AutoStore" system, which complements an existing manual narrow-aisle warehouse. It currently covers 14,680 bins on the smallest space, distributed over 16 levels, and can be expanded to up to 21,030 bins if needed. Seven robots of the "Red Line" series service three "CarouselPorts" on the upper level and two "SwingPorts" with an attached "BinLift" on the ground floor.
The construction is based on an aluminum grid with a base area of 15.4 by 22.6 meters at a height of 6.5 meters.
For Cargo-Partner, Hörmann's proprietary warehouse management system "HiLIS" was extended for the first time with specific functions for contract logistics/3PL. This includes modular interfaces for client management, optimized order control, and additional functions for inventory management and reporting.
"With the 'AutoStore' solution and the adapted 'HiLIS' software, we can make our
processes more flexible and meet the increasing demands of our customers even better," said Krisztián Haslinger, Project Manager Contract Logistics at Cargo-Partner. "The solution strengthens our 3PL expertise and offers high efficiency in a limited space."
The realization and commissioning took place in close coordination with ongoing operations. Since June 2025, the system has been in regular operation and, according to Hörmann, shows stable throughputs of up to 180 storages and over 500 retrievals
