DHL Freight opens freight hub in Hanover-Langenhagen


DHL Freight officially opened its newest freight hub in the Airport Business Park in Langenhagen today, 17 September 2019. The 8700 sqm transhipment terminal houses more than 86 loading bays, where freight for both the Europe-wide all-in-one groupage service “Euroconnect” and the “Eurapid” premium day-definite groupage service is handled.

 

The approximately 290 employees include a team of experts who assist national and international customers with customised logistics solutions and transport management for the “Euronet” full truck load (FTL) service. Another innovation being tested at the new DHL Freight terminal is automated weight, volume, and shipment data recording devices.

 

With the help of a combination of different technologies, all shipment-relevant data is digitally transferred to the transport management system within a few seconds. LTL cargo is primarily still recorded manually.

 

The partial automation of the process increases both efficiency and speed. Accurate recordings of freight dimensions are essential for optimal loading strategies and the correct issuing of invoices to customers. (mw)
