Movu Robotics powers production and logistics efficiency at Knorr-Bremse’s Lisieux plant

KNORR-BREMSE, founded in 1905, is a leading German manufacturer specialising in braking systems for rail and commercial vehicles. With over a century of experience, it stands as one of the world’s largest and most influential companies in its field. Movu's automation solutions are tailored to enhance Knorr-Bremse's production efficiency by optimising warehouse automation processes for greater flexibility and responsiveness. Positioned directly upstream of the production lines, these solutions enable real-time parts replenishment, ensuring seamless workflow and minimal downtime.

Optimising production efficiency

Delta+ Consulting facilitated this project in close collaboration with Knorr-Bremse and Movu Robotics, underscoring the commitment to innovation and operational excellence shared by all partners involved. The project's go-live for the installation is scheduled for early 2026.

Benjamin Letarouilly, MD at Delta+ Consulting, emphasised the collaborative design approach: "With the Movu atlas and Movu escala systems working together, we have designed an integrated, modular solution to meet Knorr-Bremse's needs.

"This configuration will handle small parts as well as large volumes, ensuring continuous, real-time supply to production lines. Our priority is efficiency and reactivity to meet industrial challenges," he explained.

Streamlining the automation process

"We're proud to be able to contribute to this project and to this wonderful collaboration between Movu Robotics and Knorr-Bremse. Two companies with very different backgrounds but with a shared vision of the future. Knorr Bremse, by exploiting one of the latest cutting-edge technologies in intralogistics, is aiming to increase its operational efficiency through easier automation,” Letarouilly added.

In a recent visit to Movu Robotics’ Experience Centre in Lokeren, Belgium, Stéphane Devulder, MD of Knorr-Bremse France, expressed his enthusiasm for the project: "At Knorr-Bremse, we are always innovating to keep our manufacturing and logistic processes efficient and reliable, especially in the automotive industry, where precision is key. This advanced installation will feature two powerful systems working together: the Movu atlas, with space for 5,000 pallets managed by 10 shuttles and 3 elevators, and the Movu escala, handling up to 2,500 bins with 4 shuttles," he stated.

No Warehouse Left Behind

Francisco Vinals, sales director at Movu Robotics, highlighted the adaptability and reliability of Movu’s solutions: "These solutions are designed to operate seamlessly, meeting their demand for reliable low-volume and high-volume part handling. This project is a perfect example of automation driving efficiency, precision, and flexibility. Movu Robotics stands behind its philosophy: "No Warehouse Left Behind". This project reinforces our dedication to bringing cutting-edge transformative solutions to the industrial world," he affirmed.
