Scaling up without the price tag: KAPELOU’s blueprint at Logist Day

Why this matters for businesses right now

Today’s market realities are defined by talent shortages, budget constraints, and an urgent need for operational agility. A phased warehouse automation strategy addresses these hurdles by allowing operations to:

• reduce reliance on manual labor in the most critical, high-touch zones;
• optimize capital expenditure (CAPEX) while securing a rapid ROI on each individual upgrade;
• eliminate process bottlenecks without interrupting the day-to-day operations of the facility.

The KAPELOU & K.Hartwall synergy: maximizing space and throughput

To implement this scalable warehouse strategy, KAPELOU has partnered with a Finnish pioneer in mobile load handling solutions. By integrating their equipment into our systems, we provide companies with tools designed to:

• boost warehouse storage density and maximize transport cube utilization;
• accelerate order picking and fulfillment cycles;
• protect cargo integrity while ensuring top-tier ergonomics for floor staff.

Why our partner sets the industry benchmark?

While roll containers are standard fixtures in retail and postal operations, K.Hartwall’s engineering sets an entirely new standard for durability and operational efficiency.

Our partner is a global leader in load carriers with a 90-year legacy. Operating in over 65 countries, they bring battle-tested logistics practices to the fulfillment centers of the world’s leading brands.

Why market leaders choose K.Hartwall over budget alternatives:

• exceptional lifecycle ROI: built with premium steel and robotic welding, this equipment handles grueling 24/7 cycles for years without warping or needing repairs. In the long run, this drastically lowers the total cost of ownership compared to cheaper alternatives;
• flawless ergonomics and safety: the roll containers are engineered to minimize physical strain on workers, creating a safer warehouse environment and improving the efficiency of manual handling operations;
• automation-ready (future-proof): unlike off-the-shelf containers, roll containers feature perfect geometric consistency. They are designed to fit seamlessly into current manual workflows today, and integrate smoothly into future robotic systems tomorrow (such as AGV or AMR fleets).

Our partnership gives businesses immediate access to world-class standards that optimize the supply chain from day one. Evgen Kulyk, Head of Integrated Solutions at KAPELOU, will present these integrated warehouse efficiency strategies alongside real-world business cases during his keynote on May 29 at 2:45 PM.
