The GoPal® solution at Kärcher
With two large factories in operation in Romania, difficulties in acquiring warehouse staff, and with a keen interest in innovative technology, Kärcher decided to issue a tender for having their internal pallet transport automated. The tender attracted bids from many manufacturers, which Kärcher carefully reviewed and tested. In the end, however, Kärcher was extremely impressed with the capabilities, possibilities and benefits of the GoPal solution.
Kärcher is a German global leader within cleaning products for both professional and home use. The company recently expanded its production capacity in Europe with the construction of a second factory in Romania.
With two large factories in operation and a looming labor shortage, Kärcher began looking for a way to automate their internal pallet transport.
