Intralogistics planning and system design — WMS, WCS, AS/RS, AMR, sorting, OT/SCADA — from qualification to contract signing.
Everything is Logistics
Drag any node — a map of how I work, from the core idea outward.
The decisive work happens in the planning phase: understanding how your operation actually runs, then designing the automation concept that fits it. Integration between WMS, WCS, OT and material handling is only sound when it reflects your facility's real constraints and goals — not the other way around. That early understanding is what de-risks the whole project.
My method is deliberate: qualify the opportunity on a BID/GO/NO-GO basis before design begins; capture requirements through a structured technical questionnaire; design the system to a clear specification; build a defensible budget and assign responsibilities with a RACI matrix; then carry risk and contracts through to Site Acceptance Testing. Each phase produces a decision and a document — nothing moves forward on assumptions.
I also build the tools I use — a pre-sales and delivery suite for qualification, scoping, budgeting and risk, and an AI organization that runs the analysis behind them. It keeps the method repeatable and every project consistently documented.
Senior solution engineer across the full lifecycle of intralogistics automation — qualification, system design, calculation, customer presentation and contract negotiation on major capital projects. Hands-on delivery across Germany, Southeast Asia and the Nordics, in pallet and light-goods automation for retail, pharma, e-commerce, manufacturing and food & beverage. Now bringing AI-supported data analysis into solution design.
Leads solution design and customer presentation for automated logistics facilities; introduced AI-supported data analysis into the design workflow.
Owned solution development — planning, design, calculation and analysis — and led customer presentations and commercial negotiations through to contract signing.
Drove sales and solution engineering across the region — full cycle from concept and calculation to negotiation and handover.
Planned, designed and calculated automated logistics facilities; supported customer presentations and technical coordination.
Planned and designed logistics systems; supported customer presentations and early system concepts.
A two-phase approach — master planning to define the system, then detail planning to specify and tender it. Each decision gate produces a document; no assumptions carry into build.
The ability to influence lifetime operating cost is highest during planning and drops sharply once build starts — while committed investment rises and becomes fixed. Planning is the window where the cost is decided but not yet spent.

The same tools I use to qualify, scope and deliver projects — not slideware — built and run by the AI organization behind the method.
A pre-sales and delivery suite for intralogistics projects: lead qualification, technical questionnaire, RACI, budget quotation, risk, milestones and contracts — in one place. Try it read-only as a guest, or log in if you have an account.
