mDEPOT
mDEPOTs
- close a structural gap in parcel logistics.
- for First Mile, Last Mile or for supporting the hub or for small parcel sorting.
- for the serving of nano-hubs
- are
- highly mobile
- cascadable
- for flexible sortation on an hourly basis and can therefore
- be used 24/7
- in a wide variety of locations
- always close to the customer. In the First Mile and in the Last Mile
- serve as fallback level in case of failure of stationary depots
- e.g. due to retrofit measures
- in the event of undercapacity in the high-volume business
The prevailing situation
- Distribution centres are located on the outskirts of the city and are usually at their capacity limit
- > long journeys
> high costs
> little flexibility - Increased customer requirements (recipients)
- Increased administrative and data communication requirements (EDI, customs, billing)
- Increased price pressure, lower margins
- Increased environmental regulations
- Political uncertainties and thus general investment caution
Use of mDEPOTs
- Location- and capacity-flexible solutions that only require temporary space
- Decentralised, small, flexible, scalable, modular units
> multiple use of space
> dynamic adaptation to demand
> short distances, cost savings, traffic reduction
> CO2-neutral last-mile delivery possible
- Decentralised, small, flexible, scalable, modular units
- IT and AI-supported processes to maximise plant availability, transparency, effective utilisation times and thus customer satisfaction
- Reduction of investment costs due to the elimination of construction phases, no land commitment
