Independent intralogistics planning · Basel, Switzerland

Warehouse automation, from investment to operation.

Tidira plans warehouse and production logistics. We establish the capacity you need, compare suitable technology and support tendering, detailed engineering and start-up. We also assess what better processes or existing systems can achieve.

The decisions that matter

What should you invest in, and on what basis?

Growth, a new building or ageing equipment can all prompt an investment. The first task is to establish the future operation and compare ways to achieve it, including changes to processes or existing systems.

01

Choose the technology and capacity

We compare manual, partly automated and automated options against stock, peak flows, staffing and the building. We check assumptions against operating data and examine credible growth scenarios. The recommendation explains which option fits, why, and what must be confirmed before investment.

You receive operating concepts, a sizing basis, layouts and an investment recommendation.

02

Compare the complete supplier offer

We compare offers on the same operating basis, including equipment, software, building work and recurring costs. We identify what is included, excluded or left to the client, and clarify responsibilities before recommending an award.

You receive the tender specification, a technical and commercial comparison, and an award recommendation.

Tender and supplier selection
03

Prepare the system for actual operation

We define interfaces and responsibilities across equipment, ERP and warehouse software. With suppliers and operators, we coordinate detailed planning and tests of complete operating processes. We prepare start-up, the transition from existing operations and recovery from faults.

You receive interface definitions, coordinated planning, test and start-up plans, and support through stabilisation.

Implementation and system integration

Your interests in supplier selection

Paid by you. No supplier commissions.

For client-side supplier selection, Tidira is paid by the client and receives no supplier commissions or referral fees. We establish a common basis for the tender and assess differences in scope, cost and obligations before recommending an award.

From current planning work

A factory planned across floors.

In this Smart Factory project, storage, production supply and return flows connect several floors. Tidira coordinates the logistics concept with the building design: lift handovers, buffers, equipment positions and maintenance access. The model helps the project team review those connections together.
