Robotics & AI Logistics Company of the Month
Powering
the future of
warehouse
intelligence
In this issue of Packaging, Warehouse & Automation, we are
pleased to feature Dexory as our Robotics and AI Logistics
Company of the Month
Founded in 2015 by Andrei
Danescu, Oana Jinga and Adrian
Negoita, and originally launched
as BotsAndUs, Dexory has
grown into a global leader in
warehouse automation and
logistics technology. Rebranded
in 2022, the company is
headquartered in Wallingford,
Oxfordshire, with a fast-growing
presence in the United States,
where it operates from Nashville, Tennessee.
Dexory delivers real-time visibility to the logistics
industry through a combination of autonomous
robots and its digital twin platform, DexoryView. By
integrating live data from robots directly into existing
Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), Dexory
gives managers a continuous, accurate overview
of warehouse operations. This transparency helps
organisations identify inefficiencies, correct errors
and improve overall supply chain performance.
Driving growth through innovation
Dexory’s growth story recently reached another major
milestone. In October 2025, the company announced
it had raised $165 million in Series C funding, led
by Eurazeo, with participation from LTS Growth,
Endeavor Catalyst and other existing investors. This
new round will accelerate Dexory’s product roadmap
and expand global access to its technology.
The investment underscores Dexory’s ability to
deliver immediate value in a market often hindered
by pilot projects and long deployment times. With
DexoryView, customers gain live visibility and
dependable, scalable insights without disruption,
driving measurable improvements in efficiency,
accuracy and productivity from day one.
Transforming how warehouses operate
Trusted by leading global players including DHL,
Maersk and GXO, Dexory is redefining how
organisations monitor and manage inventory.
DexoryView goes beyond simple data capture to
deliver trend analysis, space utilisation reports and
historical tracking that anticipate challenges and
optimise workflows before they escalate.
Operating across retail,
eCommerce, manufacturing,
automotive and pharmaceuticals,
Dexory is leading a new era
of intelligent logistics, where
automation, data intelligence and
digital twin technology combine
to boost productivity, reduce
errors and strengthen supply
chain resilience.
A platform built for intelligence and scale
“At Dexory, we’ve developed the world’s tallest
and most advanced fully autonomous warehouse
robot, operating seamlessly alongside people and
machinery,” said Oana Jinga, Co-founder and Chief
Commercial and Product Officer. “This platform
captures proprietary real-time data at a rate no one
else in the market can match. We feed that information
into our digital twin and optimisation platform, using AI
to deliver insights and forecasts that drive measurable
warehouse performance. By merging cutting-edge
robotics, comprehensive data capture and AI-driven
decision-making, we stand apart as a true innovator.”
Launched in early 2023, DexoryView is transforming
warehouse operations through real-time data, AI and
autonomous robotics. The platform provides actionable
insights designed to boost accuracy, efficiency and
throughput. The recent DexoryView Optimisation
module adds outbound planning, slotting verification and
congestion analysis, helping warehouse teams plan ahead,
avoid bottlenecks and streamline day-to-day operations.
A vision for adaptive warehouses
Dexory’s mission has always been to deliver a true
digital twin of the warehouse – a platform that not
only reflects operations in real time but actively
orchestrates and optimises them. Over the next year,
DexoryView will evolve into an essential tool for
warehouse intelligence, combining the vast proprietary
data Dexory collects with advanced AI to unlock
new functionality that enhances performance and
customer service while reducing operational costs.
The company’s autonomous robots are now being
equipped with enhanced perception capabilities to capture
an even broader range of warehouse data, seamlessly
navigating busy sites at all times. This information feeds
into Dexory’s AI pipeline to generate richer insights into
goods, racking, space and movement, helping to optimise
how resources are used across facilities.
By overlaying these insights onto their interactive
cloud platform, Dexory enables customers to
identify, test and implement opportunities that deliver
measurable revenue gains, not only within individual
warehouses but across their entire supply chain.
Delivering proven results
The value of Dexory’s technology is already clear.
By providing 360-degree visibility into warehouse
operations, DexoryView helps organisations enhance
inventory management, improve decision-making and
maintain accuracy at scale.
Customers such as DB Schenker have increased
inventory accuracy by 6% and maintain it daily, while ID
Logistics has reduced manual inventory investigations
by 41% in just two months, freeing teams to focus on
higher-value tasks.
“A commissioned Forrester Consulting Total Economic
Impact study found that DexoryView delivered a 219%
ROI over three years, a net present value of nearly
$3 million, and payback in under six months.
Customers also saw more than $4 million in quantified
benefits, including faster audits, fewer lost pallet
investigations, and inventory accuracy reaching 99.9%.
These results reinforce the scalability and proven
value of Dexory’s solutions,” added Oana.
Scaling for the future
Following rapid expansion over the past year, Dexory
is now focused on scaling globally and advancing
warehouse intelligence even further. The new funding
will strengthen its commercial teams, accelerate AI
development and support expansion across Europe,
North America and APAC.
As Dexory continues to push the boundaries of
automation and AI, its goal remains clear: to empower
warehouses to see, think and act in real time – building
smarter, more resilient supply chains for the future.

TCS&D Review – Top Exhibitors
Setting the pace for pharmaceutical & chilled logistics
Cold Chain Hub by TCS&D
2025 took place on the 9th-
10th September at the NEC,
Birmingham.
The annual Cold Chain Hub
by TCS&D gathered the
UK’s cold chain community
at the NEC, bridging food
logistics innovations and
pharmaceutical grade
temperature controlled
solutions. With more than 50
exhibitors and a clear focus
on tech, sustainability and
cross sector collaboration,
the event offered rich take
aways for healthcare logistics
professionals.
Supported by the Road Haulage Association, Cold
Chain Hub welcomed some of the industry’s leading
brands, showcasing a wide range of products
and services across the cold supply chain, with
sustainability taking centre stage.
The Hub proved to be a bustling arena for
companies working in temperature controlled
storage and logistics – and the implications
for healthcare and pharma supply chains were
unmistakable. Many of the technologies on display
for food transport and chilled distribution also had
direct relevance to medicine and vaccine handling.
Innovation was front and centre. Exhibitors
showcased electric refrigerated vehicles, advanced
refrigeration units using low GWP refrigerants, real
time temperature monitoring systems, portable cold
stores and materials handling equipment – all key
pieces for pharma applications where
uptime, traceability and compliance
matter.
One of our Top Exhibitors was Cold
Clad – building envelope systems and
fire-wall construction solution experts.
Cold Clad have an impressive portfolio
of projects, including some of the
largest projects being commissioned
today in IT, food production, retail,
pharmaceuticals and manufacturing.
From insulated cladding and roofing
to fire compartment walls, data store
chambers and boundary walls, and maintenance and
repairs of building structures and associated items,
they do it all.
Sustainability also dominated conversations with
battery electric transport refrigeration, solar power
integration and other low emission technologies
showing that the cold chain sector is taking the drive
to decarbonisation seriously. Meanwhile the show’s
free conference streams and co location with IMHX
gave attendees a chance to cross learn, make new
connections, and spot supplier innovations they
might otherwise miss.
This year’s Cold Chain Hub was, for the first time,
co-located with IMHX, the UK’s largest logistics
event, giving visitors even more reason to attend.
“When it comes to investing your time wisely,
visiting the NEC on 9th or 10th September was a
no-brainer,” said Martyn Cogan. “Having previously
worked with the IMHX team, I know that this
co-location provided an exciting and valuable
opportunity for visitors to both events.”
This year’s turnout – estimated at around 1,500 to
2,000 visitors – underscores the momentum in the
cold chain market. For healthcare logistics teams,
the show provided fresh insight into how to protect
temperature sensitive products such as biologics,
vaccines or chilled pharmaceuticals through smarter
infrastructure and smarter tech.
“It’s a very exciting time to be in the cold chain,” said
CoolKit’s Head of Technical Sales, Cameron Javed.
Held alongside Cold Chain Hub, the annual TCS&D
Awards – in its 12th year and with Sunswap as
headline sponsor – took place on the evening of
9th September at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole,
part of the NEC complex. “Celebrating innovation
and excellence in the cold supply chain, this blacktie
event always provides a great platform for
networking,” said Martyn Cogan.
If you’re responsible for specifying or managing
pharma cold chain infrastructure, this event should
be firmly on your radar.

Intralogistics Solutions Company of the Month
Pioneering global
intralogistics solutions
In this issue of Packaging, Warehouse & Automation, we are pleased to feature
BEUMER Group UK Ltd as our Intralogistics Solutions Company of the Month
Founded in Beckum, Germany, and now represented
in more than 70 countries, BEUMER Group is a global
leader in intralogistics and material handling solutions.
From its headquarters in North Rhine-Westphalia,
the company designs, manufactures, and supplies
integrated systems for conveying, loading, palletising,
packaging, sortation, distribution, and baggage
handling. Rather than delivering individual machines
in isolation, BEUMER takes a holistic approach,
providing complete turnkey systems that are tailored
to meet the specific requirements of each customer.
At the heart of BEUMER Group’s philosophy is a
commitment to long-term partnerships and lifecycle
support. Beyond building state-of-the-art equipment,
the company offers project engineering, system
integration, commissioning, and 24/7 aftersales
services, ensuring customers can rely on its systems
for years to come.
With a dedicated customer support division, global
service centres, and advanced digital solutions –
including intelligent software suites for logistics and
airport operations – BEUMER helps industries ranging
from airports and warehouses to mining and cement
achieve greater efficiency, safety, and sustainability.
Through initiatives like its innovation incubator, Beam,
the company continues to shape the future of logistics
by supporting software-driven solutions that address
the evolving challenges of a connected world.
What sets BEUMER Group apart from its competitors
is its ability to deliver far more than just machinery.
Every solution is engineered to the customer’s
individual requirements, ensuring a tailored approach
rather than a one-size-fits-all system.
As a family-owned company, BEUMER operates
with a long-term philosophy – prioritising sustainable
partnerships and lifecycle support over short-term
profit. This commitment is reflected in its integrated
systems, which cover the entire spectrum of
intralogistics – from conveying and packaging to
sorting and distribution – all delivered under one
provider to eliminate coordination challenges.
With a strong global service network spanning more
than 70 countries, BEUMER ensures rapid response,
spare parts availability, and on-the-ground support
wherever its clients operate. Its systems are enhanced
by cutting-edge software integration, including digital
twins, routing and sorting intelligence, and real-time
supervision, providing efficiency, transparency,
and automation at every stage.
Just as importantly, BEUMER places a strong
emphasis on energy efficiency, sustainability, and
long-term reliability, designing solutions that are
safe, environmentally conscious, and built to last. Its
modular and scalable systems give customers the
flexibility to expand as their needs grow, while decades
of cross-industry expertise – from airports to mining,
logistics, cement, and beyond – allow them to bring
innovative engineering perspectives to every project.
Theresa MacDonald, Sales and Business
Development Manager explained two notable
products, “Firstly, our BG Pouch System: This is a
more modern pouch-based system for e-commerce
fulfilment and returns handling. It reduces manual
touches, handles items more leanly, and saves space
(ceiling mounted) while being scalable.”
“Secondly, our Software & digital twin/control
software: They promote their software suites, routing,
supervision, data visibility tools and digital twins as
part of the value offering.”
Since 2018, BEUMER has been actively engaged in
supporting Beam, its independent start-up company
incubator in Berlin. Each year, Beam aims to cofound
three software-focused start-ups that provide
solutions to critical logistics challenges. Seeking longterm
success over short-term profits is very much the
foundation of all activities at BEUMER Group. Hence,
why it applies this approach to all its relationships,
and it’s no different with Beam – BEUMER wants to
be a long-term partner, not a short-term accelerator
which means it supports Beam and its portfolio of
companies in bringing their products to its own core
markets to create tangible value for its customers.
BEUMER has a strong commitment to sustainable
development, labelling it as an ‘integral part of our
work.’ Boasting an ambition to be the partner of choice
for sustainable intralogistics solutions, BEUMER
understands the critical role played in society by the
industries that it serves, and is dedicated to delivering
innovative, high-quality products and services that
contribute to the sustainable transformation of its
partners’ operations.
What’s more, the BEUMER Group sustainability
strategy is fully integrated into its overarching
corporate strategy, creating co-authorship and coownership
within the business. Its approach addresses
all angles of sustainability including Environment –
Powering Green Business. Aiming for decarbonisation
along its entire value chain in line with a science-based
approach, BEUMER focuses on GHG emissions,
energy management, and the circular economy in all
its solutions.
Looking ahead, we asked Theresa what future plans
do BEUMER have, “We will continue to push the
boundaries of intralogistics through expansion in
software, digitalisation, analytics, and control systems,
enhancing operational visibility and efficiency for
our customers. The company is also scaling its BG
Pouch System to support returns and e-commerce
operations.”
“At the same time, BEUMER is strengthening its
global service network by expanding regional offices
and service centres, reducing response times and
ensuring faster, more reliable support. Throughout
this growth, the company remains committed to
sustainable practices, both in its own operations and
in helping customers achieve their environmental and
efficiency goals.”

Brysdales operates within the Verat Group,
alongside specialist brands including Brysdales
Intralogistics – the Group’s newly established
robotics and automation provider – and Railex, a
renowned manufacturer of British-made print and
office storage. We spoke to Jaap Vos, Managing
Director, who gave us a little more insight into the

customers transition to smarter, safer, and more
efficient environments. Our focus is on optimising
space and performance, whether through traditional
racking and mezzanines or the integration of
intelligent, automated systems.”
“The company operates under its guiding tagline,
‘Smarter Storage,’ reflecting its commitment to
intelligent design, long-term reliability, and continuous
improvement. These values are underpinned by
the group’s five core principles – Vision, Excellence,
Respect, Agility, and Trust – which define both
internal culture and customer experience.”
The Group’s collaborative structure encourages
shared innovation and technical expertise, enabling
Brysdales to deliver fully integrated warehouse and
automation solutions that combine engineering
excellence with digital performance.
A major milestone in this journey is the Effi-Centre:
Brysdales’ flagship Customer Demonstration Suite
showcasing advanced robotic storage and retrieval
technologies. Developed to maximise capacity,

how modular automation can transform warehouse
operations at any scale. The facility is open for
customer demonstrations, offering organisations
a hands-on opportunity to explore the future of
intelligent intralogistics.
“Beyond robotics, Brysdales is also investing
heavily in racking safety and compliance technology,
incorporating digital inspection tools and intelligent
monitoring systems that help customers maintain
full SEMA (Storage Equipment Manufacturers
Association) compliance,” added Jaap.
Verat Group CEO and Chair of the SEMA Approved
Members Group, Elizabeth Porter and her team are
passionate about promoting safety, standards, and
sustainability throughout the industry. She commented,
“Our customers are increasingly looking for partners
who understand both the physical and digital aspects
of storage. That’s where Brysdales stands apart –
we combine the craftsmanship of a long-established
British family-owned company with the innovation
of a forward-thinking automation specialist.”
Continually enhancing its services and capabilities,
Brysdales has also recently expanded its technical
design and project expertise at its Chorley head
office, strengthened its automation partnership
network, and sharpened its focus on sustainability
and circular design. These investments ensure every
solution delivers long-term performance, efficiency,
and environmental responsibility.
So what’s next for Brysdales? We asked Elizabeth
and Jaap to share their vision for the future – both
immediate and long-term, “With strong growth across
the Group and rising demand for automation-ready
warehouse solutions, we are preparing for an exciting
future. The company’s upcoming plans include
expanding its automation and robotics capabilities,
enhancing digital design tools, and strengthening
its training and compliance services for warehouse

Brysdales will also continue to exhibit at leading
industry events such as IntraLogisteX, IMHX and
Labelexpo Europe, using these platforms to showcase
the latest developments in smart storage, packaging
integration, and automated warehouse design.
It is clear to see that Brysdales embodies everything
a modern storage and intralogistics provider should
be: experienced yet innovative, customer-focused
yet future-driven. With an unwavering commitment to
engineering quality, safety, digital transformation, and
sustainable design, Brysdales is not only improving
warehouse environments – it is reshaping what is
possible within them. As the business continues
to expand its automation expertise and champion
industry standards, one thing is clear: Brysdales isn’t
just keeping pace with the future of warehousing - it
is helping to define it. However the company evolves,
one thing will never change: Brysdales’ unwavering
commitment to its customers.
In closing, Jaap added, “Innovation doesn’t mean
losing sight of our roots. We’re proud to be a British

GREIF-VELOX is one of the world’s
oldest companies, with roots
going back 1,000 years. It began
in 1100, when monks established
the Greifenmühle (‘Griffin Mill’)
in Klützow, Pomerania (now
Poland), starting a long tradition
of expertise in bagging, filling, and
palletising. In 1938, Ernst Mahlkuch
– whose family had owned the
mill since 1734 – founded GREIF-
WERKE, continuing this legacy
with innovative bagging and filling
machines.
Today, as one of the most
enduring companies in the world,
GREIF-VELOX offers sustainable
and customised semi-automatic
and fully automatic solutions for
bagging systems, filling and palletising systems, and
load securing. What’s more, GREIF-VELOX has also
grown into a global leader in the vacuum filling of ultralight
powders such as carbon black, silica, pigments
and pesticides.
Complete full-line systems and service integration
We heard from CEO Sebastian Pohl on what the
company can do for its customers, “Customers
do not need standard solutions off the shelf, but
individual concepts and developments. As a rule, this
individuality not only increases production quality
and quantity, but also leads to strong competitive
advantages that quickly pay for themselves. On
request, GREIF-VELOX can supply complete full-line
systems including robot palletising and load securing
from a single source to further enhance these
advantages for the customer.”
Packaging as a Service (PaaS):
A new business model
To complement its offerings, the company recently
launched its ‘Packaging as a Service’ (PaaS) model
– an all-inclusive service package for industrial
powder bagging. Sebastian elaborates, “Packaging
GREIF-VELOX Managing
Director Sebastian Pohl
as a Service includes the machine,
financing, maintenance, and
optimised packaging materials at
a monthly rate – eliminating high
upfront investments.”
Instead of purchasing expensive
equipment, customers pay a
monthly fee covering machine use,
installation, maintenance, spare parts,
and even packaging materials. This
transforms capital expenditures into
operational ones, reducing financial
risk and maintenance surprises.
Remote support and automated
spare part replenishment ensure
high system availability.
Thanks to a close partnership
with dy-pack Verpackungen
Gustav Dyckerhoff GmbH, GREIF-VELOX supplies
SAFEDyVac bags precisely matched to its machines
– delivering maximum sealing performance, product
protection, and up to 40% less material usage. With
PaaS, GREIF-VELOX presents a sustainable and
future-proof response to industry demands.
Tailored solutions for industrial sectors
From its headquarters in Lübeck, Northern Germany,
and its subsidiary in Houston, Texas (Greif-Velox
America LLC), GREIF-VELOX serves a global market
with core competencies in industrial packaging for the
chemical, petrochemical, food, and building materials
sectors. Its high-performance machines handle both
powders and liquids with precision.
“Our solutions include fully automated filling,
sealing, and palletising systems – from stand-alone
machines to full-line systems. In addition, we offer
comprehensive services, from commissioning
and training to predictive maintenance and remote
support,” adds Sebastian.
Engineering precision and safety innovations
GREIF-VELOX is known for engineering precision,
advanced automation, and leading patented
technologies. Among its standout innovations is
the patented ValvoSeal Safe system. The ultrasonic
sealing mechanism uses dual welds to form a
structured double seam, making it on average up
to 60% more secure than conventional methods.
Designed for ultra-light, toxic, or hygroscopic
powders (e.g., carbon black, crop protection agents,
lithium hydroxide), this system ensures clean and
secure valve bag sealing, reducing product loss
and contamination.

fully automatic empty bag applicator.
Future outlook: Digitalisation and global expansion
GREIF-VELOX is continually expanding its digital
services and automation capabilities (via a new
partnership with ei³, a New York–based leader
in secure industrial IIoT and AI, enabling secure
connectivity, AI insights, and fleet-wide performance
KPIs such as OEE). It is currently developing AIbased
service tools and extending its PaaS offering.
Sustainability and digitalisation remain at the heart of
its innovation strategy.
Parallel to its technological advancements,
GREIF-VELOX is also expanding its international
partner network. With recent growth in North
America, Europe, GCC, and Asia, the company is
positioning itself for increased global presence.

Bradfields leads the way in futureproof
warehouse design, supporting
AMR and AGV Solutions
The next generation of
warehouse automation is
here. With AMRs and AGVs
transforming the way goods
move, Bradfields are helping
businesses build smarter,
future-ready facilities from
the ground up.
The Automation Evolution
Automation is no longer a distant ambition for UK
warehouses. AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robots)
and AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) are rapidly
being integrated to optimise picking accuracy, improve
throughout, and maximise efficiency.
But automation is only as effective as the
environment it operates within. Many existing
warehouses face structural challenges: uneven
floors, tight aisles, and layouts that weren’t
designed with robotics in mind. Retrofitting these
environments can be costly and disruptive, leading
forward-thinking businesses to design storage
systems with automation built in from the start.
Bradfields, one of the UK’s leading experts in
mezzanine floors, storage systems, and interior
fit-outs, are helping businesses achieve exactly that:
infrastructure designed for the future.
Building for Robotics, Not Around It
AMRs and AGVs navigate with precision, relying
on consistent, level surfaces and carefully mapped
pathways. For these systems to perform at their
best, the warehouse must be engineered to match
their needs.
Bradfields’ AMR and AGV Mezzanine solutions
combine advanced structural design with a deep
understanding of logistics operations. Each project is
engineered to support robotic technology from day
one, ensuring seamless integration as automation
evolves.
Key considerations include:
Floor strength and flatness
Robots demand perfectly balanced floors. Bradfields’
precision-engineered mezzanines are designed
for high load capacities, ensuring optimal robotic
movement.
Optimised layouts
Bradfields’ design team uses CAD and 3D modelling
to evaluate AMR travel paths, identify turning zones,
and facilitate efficient robot navigation.
Scalability
As automation grows, Bradfields’ modular structures
can expand or adapt without major disruption.
Safety and compliance
Collaborative zones are safeguarded with rails,
barriers, and defined pedestrian routes to protect both
people and technology.
“Automation success doesn’t start with the robot; it
starts with the environment.”
From concept to completion
What sets Bradfields apart is their complete turnkey
delivery model. The company handles every stage
of the project, from concept to handover, within one
seamless process.
This integrated approach removes the complexity
of managing multiple contractors, ensuring projects
are delivered efficiently, safely, and to the highest
standard.
Bradfields’ full-service process includes:
Consultation and survey
Every project begins with understanding the client’s
operations, challenges, and automation goals.
Design and engineering
Using advanced 3D CAD and BIM tools, Bradfields’
engineers model layouts, perform load calculations,
and ensure systems are AMR and AGV compatible.
In-house fabrication
Steelwork is manufactured at Bradfields’ UK
production facility for complete control over precision
and quality.
Installation and compliance
All of Bradfields’ projects are delivered with full
adherence to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, CHAS,
and building regulations.
Future expansion
Bradfields’ systems allow easy future expansion as
automation and operational needs evolve.
This streamlined process means clients can focus on
their operations, confident that their infrastructure is
built to last.
Future ready by design
The warehouse of the future will be dynamic, datadriven,
and increasingly autonomous. Success will rely
not only on software or robotics, but on the strength
of the structures that house them.
Bradfields’ expertise in AMR- and AGV-ready
mezzanines and turnkey solutions gives businesses
a reliable foundation to build upon. By combining
design foresight, manufacturing precision, and
installation excellence, every project is engineered for
performance and adaptability.
Whether developing a new site or upgrading an existing
one, Bradfields help businesses make intelligent, futurefocused
investments. Their approach ensures that every
square metre of space works harder, smarter, and in
harmony with the technology driving modern logistics.
About Bradfields
Bradfield Storage Handling Ltd is a UK-based
specialist in mezzanine floors, storage systems, and
complete warehouse fit-outs. With in-house design,
manufacturing, and installation capabilities, Bradfields
delivers turnkey solutions that combine innovation,
quality, and safety. The company works with clients
across manufacturing, logistics, retail, and industrial
sectors, providing structures that maximise space,
efficiency, and performance.

Veltron Heaters: Industrial
heating, evolved
Solar2Polar Ltd stands as
one of Europe’s leading
suppliers of professional
heating solutions, setting
the benchmark for
innovation, performance,
and reliability. Driven
by a commitment to
operational excellence,
Solar2Polar delivers
high-efficiency products
that not only enhance
comfort and productivity
but also significantly
reduce heating costs for
businesses across a wide
range of industries.
When temperatures drop,
productivity doesn’t have to. In warehouses, logistics
hubs, workshops and construction sites, heat is
essential – not optional. The Veltron range of dieselpowered
infrared heaters, available in the UK through
Solar2Polar, has been engineered specifically with
industrial demands in mind. The result? A heating
solution that’s powerful, efficient, and built to thrive
where conventional systems fall short.
Instead of wasting energy by warming air that
quickly escapes through large open spaces,
Veltron heaters use advanced infrared technology
to deliver heat directly to people, equipment and
surfaces. What’s more, operators feel the warmth
faster, and energy is used more efficiently, which
is a crucial advantage in high-ceilinged or partially
ventilated environments.
The Veltron portfolio spans from the compact
DHOE-90 to the commanding DHOE-500F,
giving businesses the freedom to scale
heating to their exact needs.
Taking a closer look at the
Veltron DHOE-90, it is a robust,
professionally-designed dieselinfrared
heater tailored for smaller
industrial and commercial spaces.
Delivering 10.4kW (9,000kcal/h) of
heat, it comfortably serves areas from
around 36-53m² or up to 200-385m³
in volume. Weighing just 42kg and designed on
transport wheels, the DHOE-90 is both mobile and
practical for warehouses, workshops, outbuildings
or temporary installations. Its fuel tank holds 25L
and it runs efficiently at approximately 0.8-1L/hour,
making it cost-effective for regular use.
One of its significant advantages is its ultra-low
electrical consumption – just 50W at 230V/50Hz
– meaning you only need minimal power supply for
ignition and control, with the main heating derived
from diesel infrared technology.
The Veltron DHOE-500 however, is a highercapacity
industrial infrared heater built to serve
substantial spaces with performance and versatility.
With a heating output of 58.0kW (49,800kcal/h)
and fuel consumption between 4.0 and 4.4 litres per
hour, this model is designed to handle large volumes
- rated for areas of approximately 330–500m² (or
5,008–9,090m³ of air space).
From a usability standpoint, it includes
remote control capability and allows
temperature adjustment from 0°C to
40°C, giving operators control over
the thermal environment. Its mobility
(via integrated transport wheels and
manageable size for its class) ensures
it can be deployed in workshops,
large halls, warehouses or construction
settings where flexibility matters.
In short, whether
you have a small
workshop, a large
distribution centre, or
maybe a rotating site
layout, there’s a model
designed to handle
them all, effortlessly.
Furthermore, mobility is
built into every design
detail. Heavy-duty
wheels make relocation
simple, while generous
fuel tanks support long,
uninterrupted operating
periods. Low electrical
draw means these
heaters can perform
even where power infrastructure is limited, which is
a major strength on active construction projects or
temporary facilities.
Modern workplaces demand more than brute force
heating. That’s why many Veltron models include
smart controls like WiFi connectivity, remote
operation and intuitive touchscreens – giving users
precision control, even from a distance. Behind
the scenes, carefully engineered silencers keep
noise to a minimum, and integrated safety systems
offer the durability and peace of mind industrial
operators expect.
Trusted across manufacturing, storage, agriculture
and event environments, Veltron heaters help
maintain safe working conditions and operational
continuity – no matter the weather outside.
From protecting temperature-sensitive materials
to boosting workforce comfort, they deliver
consistent results that keep businesses moving.
Backed by Solar2Polar’s UK-based parts stock
and expert servicing, every Veltron heater comes
with long-term support built in, meaning it’s not just
a heating solution, but an operational asset.
