New OPTIMA Logistics Center Building in the Solpark
For several years, Optima Management has been working on an extensive building project. In 2016, an assembly hall in the Steinbeisweg was added, a partial renovation of the offices and the integration of the former “Baumarkt” building completed. Additional office updates are in the planning stage. Some other new premises were also acquired.
The logistic center with approximately 6,000 qm will be the new location for the OPTIMA materials management GmbH founded in January 2017.
Holding space for 3,000 pallets and an automatic small parts warehouse offer space for about 60,000 parts. Short transportation routes to the different locations in Schwaebisch Hall create an efficient supply to the assembly areas and therefore reduce expenditures. The new materials management facility will be larger due to additional space already considered for further expansions. Central purchasing, quality management, quality safety, customs, shipping and spare parts service, as well as a service shop will be connected to reduce long transits in the new building. Short routes ensure smooth processes and better communication within the company.
State-of-the-art workspaces, lounges for project meetings, a catering area and a rooftop terrace offering comfort for the employees and wellequipped lavatories are completing the design.
The energy efficient new building, a so-called “Efficient House 55”, is connected to the district heating grid of the city. The heating and cooling of the offices and the hall will be regulated via a center core cooling system through the floor. A photovoltaic system will be installed on the hall roof. Bicycle parking spots and E-mobile connections are also considered. For the visual depiction of the new location Optima uses the Virtual Reality Center in the “Haus der Wirtschaft”. The employees received an outlook of the “completed” logistic center and the equipment in July 2017 at the Virtual Reality Center.
