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
  • 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
