Compact overview of the three most important tools for intralogistics. A look at the abbreviations WMS (warehouse management system), WCS (warehouse control system), and WES (warehouse execution system) reveals which solution is suitable for which step in intralogistics and how companies can make their processes more efficient.   However, the crucial question often remains unanswered: Which solution is needed? Behind these terms are systems … Weiterlesen …

Supply chains are the backbone of production-related logistics. The past few years have shown that they are far more fragile than many believed possible: supply chains collapse; geopolitical uncertainties, extreme weather events, or shortages of critical raw materials cause disruptions. Added to this are labor shortages and rising energy costs. The consequences are severe: empty … Weiterlesen …

Building materials are the foundation of any construction project. However, without efficient building material logistics, projects are delayed, costs are high, and storage errors are frequent. Modern warehouses in the building materials industry are therefore increasingly relying on digital solutions and automation: With real-time digital twins and laser localization, logistics specialists in the building materials … Weiterlesen …

Digital logistics refers to the planning, control, and optimization of logistics processes using digital technologies such as software, sensors, automation, artificial intelligence, and data analytics. The goal of digital warehouse management is to increase transparency, efficiency, and flexibility along the entire supply chain. Four steps guide the way to optimizing inventory management using warehouse and … Weiterlesen …

The Overlooked Challenge in Intralogistics  In many industrial companies, containers play a crucial role by transporting raw materials, semi-finished goods, or finished products within the plant or between different locations. Yet in practice, container management often remains a blind spot. Questions like “Where is a specific container?”, “Is it full or already empty?”, or “Was … Weiterlesen …

Digitalization has long made its way into the warehouses of manufacturing companies. Many are taking major steps toward automating their processes and are now even leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI). Along the digital transformation journey, inconsistencies and roadblocks emerge—especially where isolated IT systems hit their limits. The root cause often lies in a fragile data foundation … Weiterlesen …
