More and more companies want and need to optimize their intralogistics in order to serve their customers quickly and sustainably. The Dortmund-based proLogistik Group is the German market leader with its warehouse management software and specially developed industrial PCs. Together with the Swiss companies Dataphone and Xelog, it is now also setting its sights on the European market.

Slips of paper and sentences like “I think we still have three left, I’ll have a look later” are a thing of the past. Digitalization, e-commerce and sustainability debates ensure that lean, efficient and optimally controllable intralogistics not only bring competitive advantages but, on the contrary, keep companies alive in the long and medium term.

With the surge in online orders since the outbreak of the pandemic, peaks have become part of daily business for many retailers. The booster for successful fulfillment is a WMS (Warehouse Management System) that manages stocks online and continuously adapts processes to the current order volume. According to the German E-Commerce and Distance Selling Trade Association (bevh), the industry recorded consolidated growth of 23.2% in the first half of 2021. This corresponds to a goods value of around 45.2 billion euros. It remains to be seen whether this figure will weaken again following the easing of restrictions in bricks-and-mortar retail. This is because people have learned to appreciate the convenience of online shopping around the clock. This means that it is not only companies that have not used this sales channel to date that are required to set up store systems online or with providers such as Amazon & Co. At the same time, existing logistics structures must be aligned with the new, multi-channel purchasing reality, which requires high availability of goods and short delivery times, and optimized from an efficiency perspective. These challenges can only be mastered with the help of a high-performance warehouse management system (WMS) that seamlessly … Lire plus

AutoStore continues to gain ground. There are good reasons for this. However, the full potential of the system can only be exploited with precisely tailored integration software. Automated small parts warehouses (AKL) are proven classics in intralogistics. Depending on the requirements profile, operation takes place via storage and retrieval machines (SRMs), shuttles or robots, as with the AutoStore system. The latter move in an aisleless aluminum construction, stack the containers directly on top of each other and make them available just-in-time for order picking. The advantages are therefore practically obvious: in particular, a low space requirement in conjunction with a high storage density as well as flexibility and scalability speak for the robot-supported order fulfillment solution from the Norwegian manufacturer. But the achievable performance in terms of throughput and productivity is also a decisive argument for using AutoStore as an automated small parts warehouse (AS/RS). The option of automated, order-related pre-consolidation is also impressive – even at night if required. Organize and control automated warehouses efficiently However, the desired performance potential of AutoStore can only be exploited by using an intelligent warehouse management system (WMS), which integrates the system into the overall warehouse process and controls it on a daily … Lire plus
