POLYTEC HOLDING AG: BOOXit - Logistiklösung mit Zukunft
Die POLYTEC GROUP und BOOXit OG feierten am 8. September 2026 mit rund 80 Gästen aus Politik, Forschung, Industrie und dem Österreichischen Bundesheer den Start der industriellen Fertigung marktfähiger BOOXit-Boxen.
Ursprünglich wurde die BOOXit-Box für industrielle Logistikprozesse entwickelt. Die Entwicklungen der vergangenen Jahre haben jedoch deutlich gezeigt, wie wichtig resiliente Lieferketten, Versorgungssicherheit und funktionierende Verteidigungslogistik geworden sind. Entsprechend rasch entstand großes Interesse aus dem Defence-Bereich. Das Österreichische Bundesheer erkannte frühzeitig das Potenzial der intelligenten Mehrwegboxen und begleitete die Entwicklung mit wertvollen Impulsen aus der Praxis.
Praxistests als nächste Schritte
In den kommenden Wochen wird das Österreichische Bundesheer die BOOXit-Boxen umfassend in realen Anwendungsszenarien testen. Parallel dazu starten konkrete Produkttests mit Industrieanwendern, um weitere Einsatzmöglichkeiten zu evaluieren.
