Our Intralogistics & Automation practice brings mechanical engineering, automation, and software under one roof — racking, FlexLink conveyors, AS/RS, autonomous robots, JAKA collaborative robotics, palletising, pallet wrapping, WMS, and industrial 3D printing. Virtual Era is the authorised representative in Kosova for JAKA Robotics, FlexLink, Smipack, Atlanta Stretch, and Hovmand.
Warehouse and factory operations across the Western Balkans are hitting a structural labour crunch. Recruitment takes longer, wages are climbing, e-commerce is pushing orders-per-hour to levels manual operations cannot sustain. The delta between "good enough" and "automated" grows every quarter.
Intralogistics is where mechanical, electrical, and software worlds meet. A racking-only vendor sells you racking. A software-only vendor sells you a WMS. A robotics-only vendor sells you AMRs. None of them integrate. None take accountability for the operating outcome. The client is left stitching three suppliers together through a general contractor.
Our Intralogistics practice delivers the warehouse or factory as one engineered system — design, mechanical installation, automation, robotics, WMS, ERP integration, ramp-up support, and RunOps. One design authority, one commercial accountability, one SLA after go-live.
Every Digital Enterprise engagement is assembled from these modular services. Scope is agreed upfront, priced as fixed-outcome or time-and-materials, and governed by a single steering committee.
End-to-end design — layout, slotting, flow, staffing — validated through discrete-event simulation before commercial commitment.
Engineered racking — selective, drive-in, push-back, live-storage, shuttle — designed for SKU profile and throughput, not just volume.
Belt, roller, shoe-sorter, cross-belt — engineered as integrated flow from inbound dock to outbound staging.
Robotics with Optimak and leading robotics manufacturers — goods-to-person, pallet moves, autonomous forklifts, case-handling and swarm-picking robots. Integrated with WMS.
AS/RS for pallets, totes, and cases — unit-load and miniload cranes, pallet-shuttle systems, vertical lift modules, automated vertical storage, carousels, and goods-to-person stations — throughput engineered for peak, not nameplate.
WMS implementation and ERP integration — Manhattan, Blue Yonder, Microsoft Dynamics, Odoo, custom builds.
Pick-to-light, put-to-light, voice-directed picking, RF terminals — with Zebra hardware and WMS integration.
3D printing advisory and delivery for spares, fixtures, prototyping, short-run production — technology selection, service bureau, or in-plant deployment.
Post-go-live ramp-up, continuous flow optimisation, managed-services operations — accountable for throughput after day one.
Every Digital Enterprise engagement follows the same reference architecture — adapted to your scale, cloud posture, and compliance requirements. This is the stack-level view we present to steering committees and auditors.
Most engagements combine multiple capabilities. These are the practices that most frequently operate alongside this one — each with dedicated leads, certified engineers, and standing playbooks.
Different entry points, same practice. Whether the trigger is a strategic initiative, a regulatory deadline, a new system, or an operational problem, the engagement pattern is recognisable.
E-commerce retailer, 3PL, or distributor building a new DC of 10 000–60 000 m². Full design-build-integrate, 10–18 months concept to live.
Operation pushing against peak limits. Phased retrofit with automation islands, WMS uplift, selective robotics — site keeps operating.
Specialised cold-storage — reach-trucks, dense storage, cold-rated robotics, temperature-monitored traceability, full regulatory compliance.
Advisory on where industrial 3D printing makes commercial sense — spares, tooling, short-run, prototyping. Business case before equipment.
Digital Enterprise is platform-agnostic by design — we lead with the right tool for your scale and compliance load, not the one that pays us the highest margin. Our engineers hold certifications with every major vendor in this space.
The mechanical and robotic layer of an automated warehouse comes from specialist manufacturers. We integrate them under a single design authority so you deal with one partner, not five. For robotic end-of-line systems, AGV/AMR fleets, ASRS smart warehousing, and manufacturing digital transformation we work with Optimak, for whom we are the exclusive partner in Kosovo and Albania. For pallet-shuttle systems, vertical lift modules, goods-to-person picking, case-handling robots, conveyor and sortation, and high-density racking we work with leading European and global intralogistics manufacturers, selected per project for fit, lead time, and lifecycle support.
Phased core banking modernisation across three subsidiaries — delivered against a central-bank audit deadline, a fixed-scope contract, and a zero-downtime commitment the steering committee demanded. The case study documents the scope, risks, and bankable business case.
A day on site. Our warehouse engineers map the layout, interview operations leads, extract data from your WMS/handhelds, and simulate realistic improvement scenarios. Deliverable: sized, phased modernisation roadmap with envelope.
