CHEP Austria Automates Service Center with Modern Technology

CHEP Austria is expanding its service center at Vienna using state-of-the-art technology. The market leader in pallet pooling invested in the single-digit millions in the automation of pallet inspection and repair in order to increase the efficiency of its service center in Hof am Leithaberge. At the beginning of 2019, the starting signal for the fully automated operation was given. Through the use of robotics, CHEP wants to consistently ensure the highest standards of performance, compliance, and sustainability.

Using automation to realize its full potential
