What System Logistics does

System Logistics S.p.A., founded in 1986 and headquartered in Fiorano Modenese, Italy, designs and manufactures intralogistics and warehouse automation solutions — including automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS), automated guided vehicles (AGV/LGV), shuttle-based material handling (SVL, FRS), and the SYSTORE warehouse management and control platform. The company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Krones AG, the German packaging-and-processing conglomerate with over €4 billion in revenue, and operates as Krones' intralogistics Center of Excellence, with regional subsidiaries in Germany (System Logistics GmbH, formerly Syskron), the Americas (System Logistics Corporation / Vertique), and Asia-Pacific (System Logistics Asia).

The company's portfolio spans the full stack of in-house-developed hardware and software: high-bay warehouses reaching 26–36 meters, multi-crane aisles, laser-guided vehicles (CP Mini and Quad models), the SHARK compact AGV, and the MOPS mixed-pallet picking system capable of operating at -28°C. SYSTORE orchestrates all automated storage, picking, and material-handling operations and integrates directly with customer ERP systems such as SAP EWM. Reference installations include 88,560-pallet facilities (Maspex, Poland), 71,800-pallet beverage DCs (Constellation Brands, Mexico), and Tosano Supermercati's 15,000-line-per-day frozen picking system in Italy.

System Logistics generates revenue through a mix of one-time equipment sales, custom engineering and installation services, software licensing (SYSTORE), and recurring after-sales service and maintenance. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific given the custom-engineered nature of deployments. The company sells exclusively via direct enterprise field sales to large food, beverage, and grocery manufacturers and distributors globally, with active projects documented across Italy, Germany, the UK, Sweden, Spain, Austria, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Poland, the US, Canada, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, India, Thailand, China, and Australia.
