Beckhoff USA, which saw its U.S. revenue growing by 33.4% in 2022, completed a major overhaul of its Minneapolis-area warehouse in order to ensure rapid deliveries. With the Automated Storage and Retrieval System (AS/RS) from OPEX Corp. and other strategic investments, Beckoff has returned to pre-pandemic lead times.
The AS/RS expands the warehouse capacity by 60%, which factors in room to grow. The entire project was implemented without major disruptions of customer shipments. Beckhoff USA President Kevin Barker attributes this success to the strength of the U.S. operations team and hands-on leadership of Wayne Schmeichel, Director of Operations.
