German materials handling equipment maker Jungheinrich has launched an experience centre in Singapore, the first of its kind in the Asia-Pacific region.

Launched at the Jungheinrich InnovXperience Open House on May 7, the Jungheinrich Experience Centre is designed to provide visitors with insights into the company’s latest innovations, from forklifts to racking to software systems. 

As well as showcasing the company’s products, Jungheinrich aims to collaborate with schools in Singapore to broaden educational opportunities, foster a deeper understanding of automation and robotics amongst students and inspire the next generation of innovators and industry leaders.

“This centre will not only showcase our advanced solutions but also serve as a hub for collaboration and learning, empowering individuals and businesses to embrace Jungheinrich's process in automation," says Benedict Kothe, managing director Singapore and Malaysia.

Currently on display at the experience centre is a demonstration of how the Internet of Things (IoT) is integrated into Jungheinrich's automation, racking, safety and warehouse management systems.

Jungheinrich's first experience centre was opened in Moosburg, Germany in 2010.
