EME automated the Manitou Vostok warehouse

2022: Spare Parts Warehouse Automation

EME has automated the Manitou Vostok spare parts warehouse. As a result of the project, a warehouse was launched for the main business processes: receipt, placement, inventory, selection of orders, consolidation, shipment of goods. Integration with the corporate ERP system was carried out.

Warehouse location: Moscow region, Krasnogorsk.

Area - 1400 sq.m., class - B.

The project completion date is 01.06.2022.

Project Details

In July 2022, the project to automate the warehouse of Manitou Vostok (Moscow Region) was completed. The introduction of WMS is another project in the portfolio of solutions of the Russian developer, EME. This was announced on October 25, 2022 by EME.

According to the company, the warehouse is located in one warehouse and on the connected street space. The warehouse has a mezzanine equipped with shelf, front pallet, as well as cantilever racks. The warehouse stores large and oversized goods, long dimensions, as well as small-scale products.

Before the implementation of the automation project, accounting in the warehouse was carried out using 1C. The lack of a single development standard led to re-openings, loss of accuracy, productivity, and efficiency of the company's personnel and warehouse as a whole.

Ensuring the smooth operation of the warehouse has become impossible without the introduction of a professional WMS. The management of Manitou Vostok decided to transfer warehouse logistics to the management of EME.WMS.

Automate all warehouse business processes and ensure smooth operation of the warehouse while increasing company sales and the number of orders in the warehouse. Optimization of work with large, oversized and small-scale products. Reducing dependence on the human factor. Integration with the customer's corporate system (1C).

During the project, all warehouse processes were automated and optimized - acceptance, storage and shipment of finished products from the warehouse. Errors in the assembly and shipping of orders and transfers are minimized. Almost completely dependence on the human factor is excluded.

A feature of the project was the implementation of the functionality of automating the rapid placement of parishes using multi-tier trolleys (stalls). This became possible thanks to the algorithm developed by EME:

• Each shelf of the stack is labeled with a label with barcode or QR code SSCC. This label can be used continuously until physically destroyed.
• Having received an order for placement from the "stack," the storekeeper scans the SSCC of the shelf, a list of cells is displayed on the shipping documentation, according to which goods must be distributed.
• The storekeeper scans the cell. The shipping documentation displays the item and the quantity you want to put in this cell.
• The storekeeper scans the item, confirming the placement.

This functionality also allows you to use it on the simultaneous assembly of several orders. The need for a solution was associated with the difficulties of selecting small-scale products. Now it is possible to quickly process several orders at the same time, while:

• Each shelf is also marked with a separate SSCC, as is the case with the placement.
• Having received an order to select an order, an employee from one cell can select several orders at the same time, scanning one or another SSCC for a specific order. The shipping documentation displays a list of cells that the employee must bypass.
• The storekeeper scans the first SSCC shelf of the trolley, scans the cell from which to pick up the goods for the trolley for the first SSCC, scans the goods, indicates the quantity.
• If you need to pick up the goods for another order from the same cell, the storekeeper also: scans the second SSCC shelf of the trolley, scans the cell from which you need to pick up the goods for the trolley for the first SSCC, scans the goods, indicates the quantity.
• If you have selected all the items in this cell, the storekeeper begins the selection from the next cell.
• When recruiting all orders, the storekeeper is sent to the OA zone.

Thus, the use of multi-tier trolleys made it possible to repeatedly optimize the movement of goods around the warehouse and reduce the time by one operation by up to 5 times. A special detail of the project was the automation of the process of placing oversized and oversized goods depending on the volume of receipt. Small volumes go to the mezzanine, large ones are placed in stock. Integration with the corporate system (1C) is implemented in full, data between systems are transmitted automatically. All project tasks have been completed and accepted by the customer.
