Dematic and Alheembouw Develop Automated Warehouse for Belgian Railways
Dematic is providing an automated high bay warehouse and AutoStore system for NMBS, Belgium's national railway. The project aims to modernize NMBS's logistics operations and is set for completion in 2027, enhancing efficiency in spare parts management.

Dematic is collaborating with Alheembouw to construct an automated spare parts warehouse for NMBS, Belgium's national railway, with a projected completion date of 2027. The facility, located on a brownfield site in Mechelen, will feature a high-bay warehouse with 48,000 pallet locations and an AutoStore system capable of handling over 17,000 totes.
This integrated solution aims to optimize operational efficiency and space utilization, replacing NMBS's outdated facility from WWII. The project highlights the increasing emphasis on automation in logistics, with implications for improved maintenance and repair capabilities within the railway sector.
