Industrial & Assembly

Market situation

The indus­trial assem­bly and equip­ment market in Europe is a roughly 100 bn Euro large market with 50% of compa­nies repre­sented by medium and large SMEs. The main sub-segments are Machin­ery & Equip­ment (45%), Electri­cal & Electronic Control Systems and Equip­ment (30%), Tools assem­bly (15%) and Robot­ics & Automa­tion Systems assem­bly (15%). Market growth is modest, but a major transi­tion towards next gener­a­tion assem­bly is ongoing.

Expectations

The automo­tive, indus­trial, and tool assem­bly sectors in Europe are enter­ing a new era marked by modular, flexi­ble, robotics-driven, AI-enabled, and vision-integrated systems, making them capable of handling small series and customized produc­tion at scale.

Highly modular and flexi­ble smart manufac­tur­ing of smaller lot sizes
Modular platforms & options for end-customer customiza­tion at scale
Flexi­ble automa­tion: widespread adoption of specialised and flexi­ble robots enhanc­ing adapt­abil­ity and through­put across all assem­bly sectors
Software guidance, Machine vision & AI to support automated and manual processes, with more and more integrated quality assur­ance to measure, inspect, classify and even predict and decide
Broader networks of suppli­ers with offshoring and/or near-shoring to cope with cost and/or geopo­lit­i­cal pressure and to increase supply chain resilience.
Distrib­uted, flexi­ble part produc­tion, more integrated with produc­tion to reduce handling steps and increase automa­tion
Sustain­abil­ity: reduc­ing carbon footprint and emissions with biodegrad­able materi­als, packag­ing and recycling.

Implications for logistics

Supply chain re-configurations and trans­for­ma­tions across the value chain
More decen­tralised storage & handling, closer integra­tion of supplier networks
Stream­lin­ing of processes and flexi­ble automa­tion for efficiency and to cope with increas­ing labor short­age
Machine vision & AI to speed up process, improve visibil­ity & control and to integrate quality control
More integrated replen­ish­ment with suppli­ers provid­ing more value added services in more produc­tion ready packag­ing, reduc­ing handling steps and waste

P8S highlights for Industrial & Assembly

(Company highlights)

No fixed shelves, but flexi­ble, high-density storage in Contain­ers with the Smart Tray System.

Build­ing assem­blies at receiv­ing for zero-pick replen­ish­ment.

Digitized assem­bly using contain­ers, Pick-by-light and optional assem­bly instruc­tions.

Our vision for Industrial & Assembly

Robotic storage, sorting and picking, highly modular. Flexi­ble and fast replen­ish­ment processes, with multi-purpose robot­ics. Worksta­tions that can be quickly recon­fig­ured for differ­ent needs and high density storage and trans­port in smart contain­ers for ultra-fast handling. Digitized assem­bly lever­ag­ing contain­ers, Pick-by-light and software guidance for efficient and error free assem­blies.

All-in ONE Fulfillment

with ultra-flexible, high-density storage and multi-purpose fulfill­ment robots for efficient end2end trans­port & automa­tion.

Containers, smart Trays and KLTs, end2end

enable efficient handling of small and large products: eaches, cases, and assem­blies with automa­tion at every level. They cut handling steps, reduce process time, and support robotic sorting, cross-docking, zero-handling receiv­ing, and stream­lined produc­tion.

Seamlessly integrated network

A unified network that links suppli­ers, central storage, and produc­tion — minimiz­ing handling steps, accel­er­at­ing deliv­ery, and ensur­ing optimal prepa­ra­tion for fast, cost-efficient assem­bly.

Powerful software and AI

A digitized mater­ial flow, with contain­ers as flexi­ble trans­port and buffer units — optimized for automated sorting, zero-handling-receive, fast pickup, and efficient assem­bly, all powered by advanced software and AI.

It’s time to talk.
