Siemens has constructed a high-bay warehouse using energy efficient drive technology and a powerful automation system for Audi at its plant in Gyr, Hungary. The high-bay storage, which is installed in a 30 metre high warehouse and provides space for over 400 car bodies, is part of the new production line for the Audi A3 Sedan, Audi A3 Cabriolet, as well as the Audi TT Coupé and Roadster. Siemens developed and constructed the high-bay system as a turnkey solution complete with the building itself. The project also comprises a fully automated conveyor system of about two kilometres in length that links the central body buffer with body shop, paint shop and assembly. The solution developed by Siemens is tailored to the Audi production processes and helps to optimise capacity at the individual production stations. The project was implemented by the Siemens Logistics Hub based in Vienna.
