The state-of-the-art workplace will enable Honeywell engineers to design, prototype and test innovative warehouse automation systems used by European logistics companies to increase the efficiency of distribution centers and warehouses.

"E-commerce expectations are changing rapidly among businesses and consumers, in part due to the Covid-19 pandemic," said Ronald Binkofski, Honeywell Intelligrated's vice president and general manager for Europe, Middle East and Africa. "Consumers in Europe expect very fast and very reliable next day and sometimes same day delivery from their suppliers. For logistics companies, this means that they must increasingly rely on state-of-the-art technologies that can automate and accelerate distribution centers, warehouses and other parts of the supply chain. The technologies we develop in Brno will help us meet this demand. ”Honeywell Intelligrated is one of the world's largest suppliers of material handling solutions, providing warehouse automation systems for retail, wholesale, e-commerce, food, packaged consumer goods, medical and pharmaceutical material, third party logistics and delivery services.

A new development center with an area of ​​14,000 square meters is to open in mid-2022. The site will also provide facilities for customer training; Over the next 18 months, Honeywell will hire dozens of highly qualified technical specialists to operate the new plant.

"The new plant represents another milestone in our entire story in Brno, as we have been developing state-of-the-art technology in this city for twenty years," said Oliver Stucky, vice president and general manager, Honeywell Technology Solutions Czech Republic. "The decision to open another advanced laboratory on our campus is a good illustration of how quality engineering and technological talent can be found in South Moravia. We are proud to create new career opportunities for those who want to work on advanced technologies that can solve some of the world's biggest problems. ”

The new plant will be Honeywell's only testing and development center in Europe for its portfolio of digitized supply chain technologies, which includes conveyor belts, sorting systems, palletizers and robotics, automatic storage and retrieval systems, warehouse software and voice and light picking technologies. Once fully operational, logistics companies from across Europe will test and prototype Honeywell technologies and train them to stay ahead in an increasingly dynamic and competitive market.

The new plant expands Honeywell's warehouse automation capabilities in Central and Eastern Europe. It follows on from last year's opening of an advanced production plant in Chorzów, Poland, where a number of systems and equipment developed in Brno will be manufactured.
