We have the ideal solutions
STILL offers a wide range of different solutions and truck-based extension levels to help you automate your processes. They can be adapted to the complexity of your requirements, meaning that they are guaranteed to pay off every time.
Production supply and disposal / empty pallet transport
Lean production begins with the supply of raw materials for processing. Smooth supply ensures that production does not come to a standstill. These processes are usually also a good starting point for automation.
Our solution:
- Our autonomous mobile robots (AMR) are the smart solution for optimised horizontal material flow. Also for moving pallets when working with a transfer station.
- The automated all-rounder STILL EXV iGo high lift pallet truck ensures highly efficient logistics processes – as a stand-alone solution or in mixed operation with manual trucks. The truck picks up pallets directly from the floor without any additional hardware.

Inbound & outbound
Take your intralogistics to the next level: Store incoming or outgoing pallets within a warehouse, move goods to production or to a material handling system – horizontally and vertically.

Storage and retrieval (high bay)
High bay racking with very narrow aisles is one of the most effective ways of organising a warehouse in terms of volume utilisation. Typically, they involve repetitive handling tasks with standardised transfer stations and homogeneous load carriers.
Our solution:
The automated STILL MX-X iGo very narrow aisle truck is the ideal partner for warehouses with a particularly high level of space utilisation. It can also be combined with a STILL EXV iGo high lift pallet truck or an autonomous mobile robot (AMR) to handle goods from the transfer stations.

Storage and retrieval (wide aisle or block storage)
You have to handle palletised goods in wide aisle racking or block storage. These are most commonly used due to their high throughput speed.
Our solution:
The fully automated STILL FM-X iGo reach trucks or STILL EXV iGo high lift pallet truck are ideal for long distance transport or for storing and retrieving goods at high heights. They help you increase capacity or enable a 24/7 production.

Order picking
You may be fulfilling a customer order, handling multiple shipments of spare parts, or replenishing your production with new raw materials. Bulky, compressible and fragile items often still need to be picked manually. An autonomous order picker - in combination with pick-by-voice - can increase picking rates by following and positioning itself optimally for the operator.

Advice on Intalogistics Automation - Four Steps to an Automation Concept
With our expertise, we support you in analysing your processes and identify automation potential for your company. You decide whether you want to take advantage of our additional consulting services. The services are carried out by experienced STILL intralogistics experts and include the following steps in detail:
1. Data acquisition
After a warehouse inspection, we receive a transparent overview of the existing material flow.
2. Analysis
Automation potentials are derived from process and transport data and the technical and economic feasibility of different automation variants is determined.
3. Recommendation for action
Based on our years of industry expertise and your economic key figures, you will receive your individual recommendation for action.
4. Concept and specifications
Development of a concept that clearly shows added values. Development of a functional specification as the basis for the implementation of your individual solution.

Automation solutions from STILL
Not every automation solution makes economic sense for your individual requirements. We accompany you as partners in the selection of the appropriate automation level.
Automation with assistance systems Level 1 - Assisted driving
At this level, the driver is supported in his tasks by various intelligent assistance functions on his truck, but remains responsible for navigation in every situation. For example, with individually programmable warnings and situation-related speed adjustments, STILL enables highly safe and fatigue-free work with manual control.
Automated Industrial Trucks Level 2 - Partially Automated Driving
This level of automation includes solutions that enable vehicles to navigate in the warehouse partially on their own using special software or artificial intelligence and sensors. This makes them an intelligent partner for their users. Equipped accordingly, order-picking vehicles can follow their operators wherever they go and narrow-aisle trucks can be moved semi-automatically to the correct pallet position along the optimal path. The driver, however, remains responsible for the actions of his forklift at every step. Semi-automated vehicles in this way relieve the employee and increase both the productivity and the safety of your warehouse.
Automated Guided Vehicles Level 3 - Fully Automated Driving
Self-driving industrial trucks for automating internal logistics are now being used successfully by many industry leaders - and have been proven to significantly increase handling performance. With standardised automation kits, individual STILL series trucks can be automated for different process requirements within a very short time and scaled up to form a fully automated logistics process.
To implement a fully automated supply chain, we complement the iGo systems portfolio with solutions from our group sister DEMATIC, the world's leading supplier of integrated automation technology. This allows you to benefit from the advantages of a perfect interplay between automated STILL series trucks and stationary DEMATIC automation solutions, such as conveyor, distribution and sortation systems, stacker cranes or AutoStore systems.
