Automated Solutions for the Chemical Industry

Chemical storage and handling involve highly sensitive processes, making process safety and hazardous material management top priorities for the industry.

Chemical products often need to mature within a specific temperature range before further processing. Factors such as humidity, explosion protection, and the type of extinguishing equipment also play crucial roles. In some cases, clean room conditions are necessary, especially for dust-free buffer and interim storage facilities. Flammable, combustible, and corrosive substances, as well as preliminary products, require special attention.

Given these considerations, the planning, construction, and maintenance of intralogistics solutions in the chemical sector demand specialized expertise. Kardex meets this requirement with extensive experience in adhering to chemical industry guidelines, including the handling of hazardous materials, distribution in compliance with ADR regulations, and the storage of articles and raw materials according to defined storage classes.
