TKL, Austrian market leader of temperature-controlled logistics for the food segment, expands its business and relies on the expertise and technologies of the swiss multinational company in the intralogistics sector, Swisslog, for implementing its new automated deep-freeze warehouse in Vienna.

The various operations will be orchestrated by SynQ, warehouse management software by Swisslog.
