RoboShuttle logistics center in Möhlin (Canton Aargau) to start using green electricity in January 2025

After a construction period lasting a good 18 months, Rhenus Logistics AG will open its future-proof Swiss logistics center in January 2025. The new center will have 30 P40 Geek+ robots and seven RoboShuttles which can handle the 30,000 containers up to 70 percent faster and run on green electricity.

The plan is to make transshipment in Basel – Switzerland's logistics hub – more sustainable and more efficient. After a construction period of 18 months, the Rhenus Group will open its future-proof logistics center in Möhlin (Canton Aargau) in January 2025.

Around 80 employees will carry out interesting, future-oriented tasks at the Möhlin (Canton Aargau) logistics center and will be assisted by 30 P40 Geek+ robots and seven RoboShuttles. Together they will handle a total of 30,000 storage places spanning 2,000 square metres, and the cooperation will result in a time saving of up to 70 percent.

In order to meet rising demands, the logistics center is equipped with special storage rooms that enable storage of temperature-controlled goods and the safe storage of hazardous goods in line with the most stringent safety standards. A photovoltaic plant that produces a million kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity per year will supply the entire building with green, reliable electricity and will thus ensure low-emission and autonomous transshipment. "Our new logistics center in Möhlin (Canton Aargau) is an impressive example of modern logistics: more automation and greater efficiency while retaining jobs, and promoting sustainability targets and quality" – Andreas Stöckli, CEO Rhenus Alpina and a member of the board of the Rhenus Group, states confidently.
