Cimcorp Group, a pioneer in intralogistics automation, is taking part in Age of Automation, a new documentary-style series presented by the Association for Advancing Automation (A3), North America’s largest automation trade association. The series includes stories on the rapidly transforming world of logistics and the technologies shaping the way goods move across global supply chains.
Cimcorp’s story is featured through the voices of Veli-Matti Hakala, CEO, and Anne Happonen, VP Operations, offering viewers a behind-the-scenes look at how automation, intelligent software and human innovation work together to secure the flow of essential goods around the world.
The episode explores Cimcorp’s global footprint across warehousing and distribution, tyre manufacturing and EV battery production.
“Our mission is to remove the chaos that logistics can create,” said Veli-Matti Hakala. “By combining simple mechanical principles with smart software, we help our customers secure reliability, speed and less waste.”
In the film, Anne Happonen draws a powerful parallel between nature and automation. “Automation creates continuous, safe flow,” Happonen explains. “Just as nature is efficient and self-sustaining, logistics systems must operate seamlessly to meet rising capacity needs. When people and technology work together, we create resilience and reliability for the entire supply chain.”
The film highlights Cimcorp’s close collaboration with major global partners such as Mercadona, one of Europe’s largest grocery retailers. Cimcorp delivered modular, automated order-picking systems for fresh produce, enabling exceptional speed and accuracy and supporting Mercadona’s ambition of delivering ‘from field to store in 24 hours’.
Both leaders agree that the next decade will bring rapid advancements driven by modularity, AI and data-powered decision-making. “Automation is collaboration of human and machine,” says Hakala. “It will help us visualise, adapt and make better decisions, from the warehouse floor to daily life.”
