Creating logistics results

As part of a comprehensive plant expansion, Dematic acted as prime contractor to supply the conveyor components, the IT system for warehouse management and material flow control, and also handled the complete integration.

In addition to increasing capacity, the goal of the project was to improve delivery punctuality and speed and to double picking and dispatch performance.

This was achieved by a number of measures: optimizing the distances traveled in paperless order picking, the use of a highly dynamic buffer shelf for provision of the picked goods for a specific order at the right time, supplying of the goods on 66 gravity feed conveyors as and when needed by the unloading stations, and innovative use of RFID technology.
