Toyota Automated Logistics Helps Modernize Danfoss’ Intralogistics in Denmark
Future-proof automation strengthens efficiency, flexibility and resilience at the Rodekro site.
Rodekro/Denmark, 12.11.2026 – Danish manufacturing company Danfoss, one of the world’s leading providers of solutions that increase machine productivity, reduce emissions, lower energy consumption and enable electrification is investing in the future of its intralogistics.
The company has commissioned Toyota Automated Logistics (TAL) to serve as the general contractor for the comprehensive upgrade of the logistics system at the Danfoss Central Distribution Center in Rodekro in Denmark. This continues Danfoss’ long-standing partnership with intralogistics specialist viastore, which has been part of Toyota Automated Logistics since April 2026.
As part of the extensive modernization project, Danfoss is upgrading its existing logistics system, which has been in operation since 2001, to a more powerful and highly automated solution. The new technologies and systems from Toyota Automated Logistics will enable a seamless transition to advanced logistics processes while creating the conditions for increased efficiency, flexibility and long-term competitiveness. A key component of the project is the introduction of a fully automated goods-to-person pallet solution. Modern top-loader Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) with Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) navigation will replace the existing pallet conveyor system with a flexible and scalable automated pallet handling area that can be easily adapted to future requirements.
The level of automation will also be significantly increased, specifically in the area of small-parts logistics. By integrating process-specific robotic solutions, Danfoss is optimizing key material flows, increasing productivity, and improving overall workplace ergonomics. In addition, the new solution will create additional capacity for future growth.
Dan Bruun, Vice President, Logistics Operations, Danfoss Climate Solutions:
Installation of the system will begin in February 2027 and will be implemented gradually over several project phases. The go-live of the new facility is planned for December 2028. With this investment, Danfoss is strengthening its logistics processes and, together with TAL, creating the basis for long-term successful and competitive operations at the Rodekro site.
Thomas Hibinger, CEO Toyota Automated Logistics, EMEA & APAC:
“Toyota Automated Logistics is supporting Danfoss in transforming automation into a sustainable operational advantage – by improving operational processes, providing greater control, enabling better-informed automation decisions, delivering practical planning and ensuring continuous optimization beyond the go-live. The systems of our subsidiary viastore, now part of Toyota Automated Logistics, have formed the backbone of the Danfoss Central Distribution Center for decades, which is why we are very pleased to further expand this decades-long, successful partnership and to jointly make Danfoss’ logistics and intralogistics fit for the future.”
As a company of Toyota Industries Corporation (TICO), Toyota Automated Logistics brings together the expertise of Vanderlande Warehousing, viastore and Bastian Solutions under one common brand. The aim is to offer customers worldwide integrated and future-proof automation solutions for warehousing and distribution.
