To help us better understand a large amount of data, there are a wide range of visual tools available that collect data in the desired form and time frame. These tools ensure that we always have information available that directs us to where action is needed.

A 16.4% reduction in picking paths recorded in the first month

The basic task of warehouse pickers is to pick the right goods on the basis of an order in a warehouse. The greatest challenge, however, is how to select the optimum picking path so that cost and time usage are minimised.

How Can the Number of Picks per Hour Be Increased?

The automated selection of stock and workstations for the issuing of goods can help to efficiently optimise work operations or picking per time unit. An additional benefit of this is more free space in the racks for new stock.

Less Time for Order Processing – More Time for Clients!

One of the challenges in the supply chain is the processing of orders, which are still processed manually to a great extent. Automated Order Processing (AOP) is an efficient way of optimising a process that in itself does not bring added value.

Logistics on the Path to Digital Transformation

A proactive approach to warehouse digitalisation today will make companies technologically flexible and give them a competitive advantage.

The Supply Chain Is Becoming More Transparent With Blockchain Technology
