Proven facts from industry-leading corporate clients
SCROLL DOWN
Case Study
Leading international truck manufacturer
Background
Large production site with multiple buildings
80-100.000 medium and heavy sized trucks are manufactured per year
Entire production process is organized just in time (“JIT”)
The site is running on manual processes supported by passive IT systems
Legacy WMS solutions are inadequate due to lack of RTLS capabilities
Reasons for choosing Site Optimizer 360° SCES
Resource management – automatic assignment of tasks to forklifts, AGVs, tugger trains, carts, AIFs, pallet stackers and human operators based on RTLS
3D interactive real-time software – automate all in-plant logistics processes
Kanban / Replenishment Processes – automatically receive triggers and Kanban signals to create transport orders
Location mapping – system-based location codes of inbound, buffer, racks supermarkets, bins and other supply areas
Traditional WMS – check-in trucks, yard & dock, goods receiving, inventory levels, inventory locations and goods issue
System controlled in-plant processes – repacking, kitting, assembly, pre-assembly, machining and sequencing
System interfaces – coordinate communications with existing systems (MES, PP, ERP etc.) and new subsystems (AGF, AGV, control systems, RFID etc.)
Customer challenges
Eliminate “search & find” and “go & see”
Invest in technology to integrate with automation, provide inventory visibility and increase efficiency
To integrate with existing in-plant host systems
Develop standard processes across different use cases
Customer benefits
ONE system that controls, automates and orchestrates all in-plant logistics processes

What does the
INDUSTRY SAY ABOUT US
By utilizing Real-time Location Tracking Systems (RTLS) technology as a cornerstone of their WMS and Workforce Management Solutions, Locanis has developed a “game-changer” in the Supply Chain Execution software market. Their technology allows them to dynamically optimize task management and task interleaving across the warehouse for all in-motion assets, including lift trucks, robots, AGVs, trains, etc. Locanis technology dramatically reduces congestion and provide task productivity reporting based on actual warehouse travels paths. I’ve been in the Supply Chain Execution market since the late ’80s and have global experience with all of the WMS and Workforce Management solutions, the Locanis’ patented software is unique, and it has the potential to be very disruptive to the legacy WMS status quo. Legacy WMS solutions are comparable to old taxi systems. Locanis is like Uber.
