Logistics at LÄPPLE Automotive is more than just the movement of materials - it is the heart of production. From incoming goods to delivery directly to our customers' assembly lines, our logistics department ensures that the right part is available in the right place at the right time.

With a focus on quality, precision and delivery reliability, we manage all logistics processes along the entire value chain. Planning, intralogistics and production logistics are seamlessly integrated - supported by modern technologies and digital systems.

The three pillars of our strong logistics

Logistics planning

Value stream instead of detour

The basis of every logistics solution at LÄPPLE is well thought-out planning. We analyze existing processes, identify bottlenecks and plan on the basis of value stream data - digitally, with foresight and in a targeted manner.

  • Continuous optimization of existing processes
  • Integration of new technologies and digital tools
  • Simulation and planning with digital twins
  • Focus on reducing handling costs and inventories

This is how we create room for growth - and at the same time ensure stability in daily operations.

Intralogistics

Intelligent systems for maximum efficiency

Our intralogistics are consistently geared towards efficiency and flexibility. We rely on modern, automated solutions to optimize transport routes and reduce handling costs.

  • Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) for automated material movement
  • Electric tugger trains for low-emission, internal goods transportation
  • Intelligent forklift control
  • Tool transportation with electric vehicles - safe, efficient and sustainable
  • Digital visualization and control of material flows

This is how we ensure that every component is available at the right place at the right time - on time and without loss.

Production logistics

Tailored to the needs of our customers

Our production logistics follow the rhythm of the automotive industry. Whether small series or large series - we deliver body parts and modules exactly when they are needed.

  • Optimized transport, handling and storage processes
  • Just-in-time, just-in-sequence or delivery via consignment warehouse
  • Synchronization with our customers' production
  • High flexibility for short-term call-offs

Our systems enable short throughput times and maximum delivery reliability - even under demanding conditions.

Quality assurance & traceability

We guarantee maximum transparency in every step of the process - from goods receipt to delivery.

  • Fully automated order picking with multiple checks
  • Seamless documentation of all movements
  • Product twins for unique identification of each part
  • Seamless traceability for maximum product safety

At the end of the process chain is a customer-specific manufactured part - in perfect condition, at exactly the right time.
