Manufacturing & Finished Goods

Efficient storage and order fulfilment with tracking and tracing functionality

 Manufacturing & Finished Goods

Manufacturers face challenges throughout the supply chain in areas such as raw materials and finished goods storage, kitting, in-production buffers and order fulfilment. Accurate tracking and tracing of products through the supply chain, automation of processes to increase throughput and efficiency, and working in existing facilities with limited space availability, are just some of the many requirements.

 

Dematic has worked alongside manufacturers and has a wealth of experience in many industries, from pharmaceuticals and electronics manufacturing to mechanical parts and paper reel storage and handling.

 

These subsectors include:

  • Pharmaceuticals
  • Medical Logistics
  • Screws and Fittings
  • Spare Parts
  • Electronics
  • Automotive 

Automated Pallet Storage

 Automated Pallet Storage

Automating pallet storage can significantly improve the density of storage and the operational efficiency associated with buffering of raw materials or finished goods.

Carton and Tote Storage / Production Buffer

 Carton and Tote Storage

Automated carton and tote storage has a variety of purposes for manufacturing companies.

 

These include:

  • Storage of raw materials and components feeding kitting processes or sequenced to production
  • Production buffers
  • Finished goods storage
  • Spare parts storage and feed to order picking stations

Tote Order Assembly

 Tote Order Assembly

Manufactured components and parts can be stored, retrieved, sequenced and palletised fully automatically.

 

This process is known as Order Assembly, and can be used to feed production with sequenced products with high levels of responsiveness as well as efficiency.

Split-Case Conveyor Picking

 Split-Case Conveyor Picking

Split-Case Conveyor Picking forms the basis of order picking in this industry for spare parts or small orders in general.

 

It is typically suitable for the faster moving products, and can be complemented with Goods-to-Picker solutions connected to the same conveyor system.

Goods-to-Picker Systems

 Dematic Goods-to-Picker Systems

In manufacturing systems with a large number of products, goods-to-picker systems can create particularly high picking efficiencies.

 

This technique also provides the chance to build special workstations for the handling / checking / packing / additional functions that may be required.

Palletising Systems

 Palletising Systems

End of line palletising is frequently a requirement prior to finished goods storage.

 

Systems integrating sorters, accumulation conveyors and robotics increase palletising output while remaining completely flexible to the changes in both products and packaging over the short or the long term.
