Mastering Logistical Challenges

Logistics also play a significant role in sustainable and environmentally compatible operations. As a just-in-time company, Krones inevitably often has to give precedence to the best possible supply of the production and delivery chain ahead of ecological optimisations of the transport routes. Nevertheless, Krones wants to minimise the impact on the environment as much as possible through various measures. For example, the company has introduced a software-controlled "driving assistance centre" to reduce the driving routes of the employees between the sites and in turn cut emissions. Furthermore, Krones is increasingly using video conferences for meetings. This reduces the number of journeys and flights undertaken by employees and management staff.
