From Warehouse Floor to Solution Architecture
Dennis Brandt knows logistics from every angle: from forklift driver to process optimizer to solution architect. Today, he leads Solution Design at Interroll, creating tailored systems for diverse industries - from fashion to e-commerce.
“It’s always a synergy of multiple technologies, and that’s what makes us strong. We leverage our platforms to assemble a complete solution that fits the customer perfectly.”
Interroll is one of the world’s leading providers of material flow solutions - from individual conveyor modules to complete sorting systems. The company relies on a modular platform approach that allows flexible customization for specific requirements.
Innovation Through Integration
In the podcast, Dennis shares insights on Interroll’s recent portfolio expansion through the acquisition of Dutch start-up SORTEC, specializing in sorting technology for small parcels. With its crossbelt sorter technology, Interroll bridges the gap between conventional conveyor systems and high-performance sorting solutions - a critical step to handle the growing volume of small, irregular shipments efficiently.
This approach delivers solutions that are technologically advanced yet economically viable - especially for fast-growing markets like e-commerce and parcel logistics.
Collaboration & The Future of Automation
Another key topic is the collaboration between Interroll and MotionMiners on the SOLUTIONS platform. Dennis emphasizes the importance of building networks and shared innovation spaces to drive new ideas in the industry:
"I believe we need to work more closely together in the intralogistics automation market. Greater cooperation is essential to tackle challenges collectively and to ensure smaller logistics players aren’t left behind.”
Despite numerous innovations, Dennis remains realistic about automation levels: most logistics processes are still manual. Interroll focuses on scalable automation that supports companies step by step.
This episode makes one thing clear: automation is more than technology—it’s a collaborative effort across the entire industry. Interroll exemplifies an approach that combines innovation, modularity, and partnership to create intralogistics solutions that are not only more efficient but also resilient and future-ready.
