Welcome back to our Friday Facts. 🌐

Sustainability creates value when responsible action supports better operations. For KION customers, that means safer, more efficient and future-ready intralogistics solutions. 🤝

From safety and circularity to climate and energy, sustainability is embedded in the solutions and processes that support daily operations. 🌱⚙️

Here are a few facts that show how this approach translates into measurable progress. 📊

Smarter growth needs smarter warehousing. ⚡📦

Pressure on warehousing can slow growth faster than many businesses expect. That was the challenge at Leimai New Energy Vehicle, a manufacturer of electric cabin tricycles in Shandong, China, where large finished vehicles and limited space had become a real bottleneck.

Our colleagues at Linde MH (China) solved it with a custom-built automated high-bay warehouse featuring four-way shuttle technology. 🤖🏗️

The customer can rely on faster vehicle handling, stronger process safety, and a warehouse environment that drives growth instead of holding it back. Zero warehouse accidents and much smoother inbound and outbound flows show what that means in practice. ✨✅

A warehouse solution that clears the way for scale, speed, and much more confidence in daily operations.

A warehouse that can see problems coming? That is the future we are working on. 🚀

A hands-on hackathon in Frankfurt brought KION, NVIDIA, Colruyt and Accenture around one shared question. How can Digital Twins help customers spot issues earlier and keep warehouse performance on track?

Using the GXO case in Épinoy, France, teams explored how simulation, fleet data and connected systems can help customers react earlier and avoid costly downtime. ⚙️📦

In real operations, Digital Twins can shift from impressive technology to a practical advantage. Complex warehouse operations become easier to plan, optimize and scale across different sites. 🔄

A strong step toward data-driven services that create measurable value in intralogistics. 💡

Getting in shape while shaping world trade. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Last Wednesday, the J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge, the world’s largest corporate running series, took place right at our Frankfurt home base. 🌍

Our team of 200 runners crossed the starting line and successfully made it to the finish. 🏁🏆

Cheered on by many fans along the route, we braved the weather and enjoyed the great atmosphere. 💪🌦️

Participating in our 20th anniversary year gave us an extra boost. To keep moving ourselves, our teams and the world’s supply chains. 🚀

AI works best when it eases everyday operations. 🤖📦

At the KION subsidiary Urban-Transporte, we are developing the use of artificial intelligence in spare parts logistics with a clear goal: support warehouse teams in making faster and better decisions. ⚙️

By predicting when orders are truly ready for shipment, processes can be planned more smoothly and workloads distributed more evenly throughout the day.

For those running warehouse operations, that means fewer bottlenecks, better use of resources and less pressure during critical shipping windows. 🚀📊

Reliable rail services start behind the scenes. 🚆

Together with Alheembouw, Dematic is helping Belgian railways optimize the storage and handling of spare parts with a new automated warehouse solution.

The result? Better use of available space, faster access to critical components and more efficient operations. ⚙️

As Farly Orie, Market Leader Benelux for Dematic, explains: “This project sets new standards in rail logistics. The combination of a high-bay warehouse and the AutoStore™ system creates a spare parts logistics solution that significantly improves availability and reliability.”

A great example of how smart automation can help customers solve real operational challenges and prepare for future demands. 🌍

Smarter pharma logistics start with dependable flow. ❄️📦

At Yusen Logistics in Gembloux, our colleagues at STILL BeNeLux show how smart automation can support a highly sensitive setup with the kind of reliability this environment demands. ✨

Across 40,000 square meters, 50,000 pallet spaces, and three temperature zones down to -25 °C, reliable processes are doing real work every single day. Around 20 iGo automation solutions help keep material moving around the clock. 🤖🌡️

Customers can rely on stable operations, consistent quality, and strong productivity in an environment where every detail matters. Automation does not just add speed here. It strengthens the whole process. 🔄

Climate action starts with strong supplier engagement. 🌍🤝

KION has achieved an A in the latest Supplier Engagement Assessment (SEA) by CDP. ⭐

The annual SEA, formerly known as CDP’s Supplier Engagement Rating (SER), assesses how companies engage their supply chains on climate-related topics. At KION, we recognize the hard work of our Global Procurement team, led by the Sustainable Procurement Team. They have collaborated with our engaged suppliers to support KION's commitment to SBTi and the Net-Zero by 2050 target. Only through strong collaboration and partnership can we achieve our climate goals. 🌱

The assessment rates areas such as our Risk Management Process, Governance and Business Strategy, Supplier engagement, Scope 3 emissions including verification, and targets. 📊

As CDP points out, companies achieving an A in their SEA are playing a crucial role in the transition towards a net-zero sustainable economy by engaging their suppliers on climate change.

Needless to say, we will continue to uphold this important commitment in the future. For a sustainable future that benefits us all. 🌍

AI becomes truly powerful when it improves safety in the real world. ⚡🤖

This month’s Innovation Insider, Marina Ignatov, works as Research Engineer at the KION brand STILL, where she combines AI expertise with autonomous vehicle technology. 🧠

Her work supports one of the key challenges in automated intralogistics: making loading and unloading processes both efficient and safe.

With AI-supported perception, autonomous vehicles can better understand critical operating areas and react when people enter them. 📦⚙️

What fascinates Marina most is understanding the complexity behind new technologies and turning innovative concepts into practical solutions with real impact. 💡🔍

For KION and STILL, AI is becoming an increasingly important enabler for autonomous vehicles, intelligent assistance systems and safer intralogistics processes. 🚀
