Axelot automated the warehouse "Products of Donbass"

2025: Warehouse Automation

AXELOT automated the warehouse of the Donbass Products company. Axelot announced this on February 21, 2025.

LLC "Trading House" Products of Donbass "(TM" McMai ") is one of the manufacturers of mayonnaise, ketchup, sauces, first-course dressings, mustard, seasonings and spices, tomato paste, juices and nectar. All products of the company are manufactured in accordance with GOST and TU and strictly comply with the requirements of the technical regulations of the Eurasian Economic Union.

The warehouse "Products of Donbass" in Makeyevka covers an area of  ​ ​ 3,000 square meters, about 1,500 SKU are stored there. In order to increase the transparency of the key business processes of the warehouse, increase the productivity of employees, reduce time costs, improve the quality of order processing and minimize the dependence of all operations on the human factor, the company's management decided to automate the warehouse and turned to the industry leader - AXELOT.

Work on the project took place completely remotely. Despite this, the high level of professionalism and experience of the AXELOT team made it possible to establish effective interaction with the customer's employees and successfully implement the entire range of work on the automation of the warehouse complex.

The only "full-time" stage of work is a preliminary survey of the warehouse. An AXELOT consultant visited the site as part of a humanitarian mission. In a short time, he was able to collect all the necessary information about the features of the warehouse and identify its specific needs (for example, the need to break down selection tasks), which was a key factor for the successful implementation and commissioning of AXELOT WMS.

As soon as all processes were approved in the context of "as it should be," the AXELOT project team developed a scheme for using AXELOT WMS, provided working instructions to users and operators, and prepared a methodology for performing acceptance tests. The system was then set up according to the customer's needs:

• Accounting has been set up in the context of shelf life and batches, the possibility of selecting goods according to the FEFO principle has been implemented;
• role access to the functionality of viewing cell residues during selection is implemented;
• It became possible to take into account new details in the selection planning process;
• the procedure of laying during sampling is controlled - from heavy to light;
• implemented the functionality of group combining tasks by the volume of transport medium and, conversely, splitting one task into several.

Integration between the WMS and the customer's enterprise information system was accomplished using the DATAREON Platform.

As a result of the project, all key technological processes of the Donbass Products warehouse were automated in accordance with the specifics of the company's business processes. Automation also allowed the customer to consider new principles for planning and performing warehouse operations. Already in February 2025, the design teams "Products of Donbass" and AXELOT are working on the task of using group selection technology for certain groups of goods. It will increase the throughput of the warehouse by increasing the speed of pickup and shipment of goods.

The introduction of AXELOT WMS helped the company to solve key tasks in the field of warehouse logistics management and multiply the efficiency of the division.

An additional bonus was the competencies acquired by the customer's employees, which will help in the further use and development of the implemented system.
