Space-Saving Solution for the Warehouse
International welding technology provider optimizes materials
flow with RFID
(firmenpresse) - How can manufacturing companies leverage kanban in
production and materials management without falling foul
to the pitfalls of the process? Cloos Schweisstechnik found
its answer in RFID technology and a SAP-based production
control system. The full story and a detailed description of
the solution are available on the SAP information portal
www.SAP.info .
Using the kanban process to keep manual effort at a
minimum requires containers of various sizes. Handling
these containers, however, does present its challenges –
warehouse capacity is reduced, while demands on
materials-handling technology increase.
To implement kanban, Cloos Schweisstechnik had to find
room for 3,400 additional storage spaces to accommodate
trays and containers – all within its existing production hall.
To make the most of the area available and to save
warehouse space for the future, the company opted for its
first RFID tray management system. The solution integrated
RFID transponders into the kanban containers to control the
flow of materials in the automatic storage retrieval system.
One of the benefits of the RFID tracking technology for
Cloos is the ability to locate containers on the tray at any
time. The technology also ensures the proper removal of
small parts from containers.
