Werkleitz Festival 2018 Holen und Bringen
Exkursion // DHL Hub Leipzig
Media
After 10 years of operations the DHL Hub Leipzig has become one of the most important and state-of-the-art transshipment centres for air freight worldwide. It is one of the region’s largest employers despite the fact that over 50% of its processes are automated. Every day over 60 airplanes take off and land, having been inspected, loaded and unloaded remarkably quickly. Thousands of packages from digital retail operations are transported at night by conveyors and slides that are kilometres long, sorted by humans and machines and sent out in airplanes, trains or lorries.
