R-Matic supports A320 mounting
R-Matic supports A320 mounting
The integration of automated Fenwick-Linde systems is contributing to the modernization of Airbus's new assembly line for the A320 family in Toulouse. An R-Matic system supports improved supply chain management, including the precise delivery of parts to operators on the assembly line.
The path leads via Fenwick-Linde, the French subsidiary of Linde Material Handling, and the partnership with the European aircraft manufacturer Airbus. The A320 series aircraft are assembled in Toulouse. This was a good fit for automated logistics solutions at the Jean-Luc Lagardère site.
Fenwick-Linde, with the support of its regional distributor Bastide Manutention, has commissioned a range of robotic solutions that help optimize the efficiency and safety of Airbus's logistics processes. These innovations include automated R-Matic reach trucks (AGVs), which ensure a more reliable material flow and improved working conditions. "Our solutions help Airbus meet its demanding performance expectations," emphasizes Jérôme Garnier, Director of Sales and Marketing at Fenwick-Linde. "Our close collaboration with Airbus demonstrates our commitment to providing innovative, high-quality systems."
Gradual introduction
Just-in-time procurement helps prevent production interruptions and improve the overall efficiency of operations. Furthermore, AGVs autonomously handle supply and disposal at onboard workstations and inventory replenishment. This reduces repetitive manual tasks. Automated inventory and delivery management up to a height of 8 meters significantly increases productivity at the site while simultaneously
improving employee ergonomics and safety.
The automation of logistics processes leads to improved operational profitability through lower warehousing and supply costs. Furthermore, automated solutions enable more efficient resource utilization.

The ambitious project is to be implemented in several phases over more than a year, depending on when each Airbus station opens. It launched successfully with the inauguration of the new A320 family assembly line, a symbolic moment, in Toulouse. “The Fenwick-Linde teams are supporting and meeting Airbus’s needs at every stage of this strategic project: from the initial solution design and commissioning to the necessary programming adjustments and ongoing operational monitoring. Today, our solution is actively contributing to production at the site, and we are very proud of that ,” explains Jérémy Chaput, Head of Rollout for the Intralogistics Project at Fenwick-Linde.
