Challenge & Solution

How we transformed Siemens' warehouse operations

The Challenge

Ultra-high SKU complexity - Managing 200,000+ SKUs with zero-error scattered picking requirement
Production line integration - Need for seamless material flow to production lines
Limited floor space - Traditional storage couldn't meet growing production demands
Picking accuracy - Manual handling led to component mix-ups and production delays
Traceability requirements - Complete component tracking for quality control
24/7 operations - Continuous production requiring reliable material supply

Our Solution

Multi-Shuttle System - High-speed automated storage and retrieval
Production Line Integration - Direct connection to manufacturing lines
WMS & MES Integration - Real-time inventory and production data sync
Picking Workstations - Multiple high-efficiency picking stations with iWMS intelligent picking
Zero-Error Picking - Barcode/RFID tracking ensuring 200,000+ SKU picking accuracy
3,866 Pallet Positions - High-density storage in compact footprint
