Industrial logistics differs significantly from standard services – it requires precise planning, flexible operations management, and the ability to integrate multiple activities within a single environment. Specialized warehousing and logistics solutions ensure continuity and security of supply chains, while industries vary in their level of automation, technological requirements, and pace of regulatory changes. Thanks to modern technologies and a flexible approach, FM Logistic helps companies optimize processes and respond to dynamic market changes.

Tailor-Made Infrastructure

It’s not just about available warehouse space, but also about adapting warehouse infrastructure to the specific needs of the client and the nature of the stored goods. It is essential to ensure appropriate storage conditions, such as the correct temperature or safety requirements when storing hazardous materials like chemicals or electrochemical products (batteries, accumulators).

“Clients appreciate the operator’s expertise and experience in safe storage and handling of hazardous goods. Meeting strict requirements demands not only know-how but also regular audits and investments in advanced fire protection and monitoring systems,” says Michal Hajskovský, Director of Business Development for Slovakia and the Czech Republic, FM Logistic.

Automation and Flexibility

Solutions based on warehouse automation are key – they speed up order picking and maximize the use of warehouse space. Technologies such as AutoStore, which FM Logistic operates in its Czech center in Lovosice, can increase storage density up to fourfold on the same area. Equally important is the ability to quickly adjust internal processes so that the warehouse can efficiently respond to changing operational needs.

Comprehensive Support for Distribution and After-Sales Services

In industries with high demand volatility and complex manufacturing processes, services that allow companies to reduce their own operational resources and focus on core competencies are growing. Logistics companies therefore expand their services to include specialized processes supporting production and service, taking over tasks that require precision and strict quality control. This makes them reliable partners for increasing efficiency, speed, and competitiveness.

“The most frequently outsourced services include copacking, which streamlines packaging processes. For example, in furniture manufacturing, this involves assembling kits with accessories and small assembly components so that the end customer receives a product ready for assembly. Performing this step in a logistics center significantly relieves the manufacturer and shortens time-to-market,” adds Michal Hajskovský. FM Logistic provides this service, for instance, at its center in Tuchoměřice, which specializes in copacking.

Integration of Processes Under One Roof

Logistics services for industrial sectors can be provided in one place thanks to the One Roof concept. This optimizes product flow and increases supply chain efficiency.

“Our logistics centers operate on the principle of resource consolidation – they bring together teams, specialized equipment, and services for multiple customers under one roof. This enables us to dynamically manage personnel and infrastructure and quickly respond to changing needs. Advanced synchronization of processes for different clients significantly boosts overall efficiency. Moreover, we can consolidate all operations for a single customer in one location, reducing product transfers and simplifying the management of the entire process,” emphasizes Michal Hajskovský.

This concept proves particularly effective for projects with critical delivery deadlines, such as limited editions. It often happens that components required for final production arrive at the warehouse at different times and from different suppliers. The operator’s task is to efficiently receive and register these items so that partial production or prefabrication can start as soon as possible. Thanks to this approach, part of the manufacturing process can be completed earlier, and the entire process finalized immediately after the remaining components are delivered. The client thus receives the final product on time and at optimal cost.
