/ 01 · WHAT WAS THE CHALLENGE?

Automated Storage and Intelligent Material Flow

Storage, picking and line-feeding decisions were fragmented, increasing manual traffic and making priorities difficult to manage during peak demand.

The objective was to create a sustainable operating model rather than automate an isolated task.

CHALLENGE

Operational consistency

Storage, picking and line-feeding decisions were fragmented, increasing manual traffic and making priorities difficult to manage during peak demand.

ENGINEERING SCOPE

Integrated architecture

We modelled the end-to-end flow first, then integrated AS/RS, AMRs, conveyors, identification and central task management.

VALIDATION

Scenario-based acceptance

Normal operation, exceptions, recovery and critical safety scenarios were tested with operations teams.

/ 02 · HOW DID WE SOLVE IT?

Engineering approach

From requirement to system behavior

  • Field requirements and operating constraints were modelled before implementation.
  • Equipment, software and data interfaces were designed around a common operating context.
  • Operator guidance, alarms and recovery scenarios were included in the design.

Controlled implementation

  • We modelled the end-to-end flow first, then integrated AS/RS, AMRs, conveyors, identification and central task management.
  • Changes were verified through traceable test and acceptance scenarios.
  • Operations and maintenance teams participated in commissioning and handover.

Measurable operational outcome

Warehouse and production movements became visible, prioritized and recoverable within a unified material-flow operation.
