Case Studies

Proven facts from industry-leading corporate clients

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

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

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.)
