Automatic warehouses
In times of Industry 4.0, processes of traditional supply chains are changing. This applies to B2B and B2C. The optimization of pick processes is crucial. It is a link in the efficient linkage in the supply chain.
More and more new warehouses are being equipped with goods-to-man systems. In automated warehouses, digital technology provides the perfect basis for controlling elevators and conveyors. In addition, it is only a matter of time until robots are used as employees.
If your company decides to start automating processes you will have to deal with system integrators. They provide integrated total logistics solutions. These can range from small conveyor systems to complex fully automated storage and sortation systems. As a company, how do you handle such a transition? What is involved?
The team at 4SCM has extensive experience with these issues.
This allows us to put ourselves in your logistics situation and work with you to create an effective process in which your people and the new technology work together to maximum effect, and in which your customers gain maximum benefit from this investment. Together we focus on efficient, compact and highly dynamic systems for storage and order fulfillment. We translate your ambitions into practical logistics automation solutions that we implement step by step and customized for you.
Our knowledge of various WMS systems helps you make the right choices for now and in the future. Together with the customer we look for a unique and versatile but also simple solution for complex issues. We keep an eye on effectiveness, efficiency, quality, flexibility and cost/benefit.
Warehouse management
Organizations are constantly changing. New economies are long gone. Warehouse operations need to be centralized or just decentralized.
With all these developments, many choices have to be made to achieve renewed and improved processes. The use of Warehouse Management Systems is necessary to make complex processes efficient.
4SCM offers knowledge and experience in implementing and optimizing WMS to achieve optimal logistics operations.
Transportation management
Transportation costs represent a significant portion of total supply chain expenditures. Therefore, using the right system, review of the transportation network, flexibility of carriers and rate structures is critical.
In this, substantial savings can be achieved. Implementation and optimization of a Transport Management system results in lower freight costs and a more balanced transport network with high reliability. Integrating transport into the underlying EAP environment, you can leave that to us.
4SCM provides expertise in implementing and/or optimizing TM systems.
Robotics
4SCM is the link between robot suppliers and warehouse systems. We inventory your situation and advise on the possible solutions. Does robotics match the situation of your organization? Then we guide this process, including the implementation.
For a successful application of robotics, this must be taken into account or considered from the beginning. An existing warehouse is not always suitable for the application of robots. From the first step, the design of the warehouse, robotics must be included in the process. 4SCM looks with the organization to see if robotics is a match for your organization, industry and product line.
Process optimization
For many distributors, the supply chain is often the best place to reduce costs, eliminate waste and increase profits.
Long lead times mask activities that do not add value to the customer, as well as wasted space and excess movement.
4SCM, as an independent consultant, can take a fresh look at processes and identify the wastes. Eliminating them can be done in close cooperation with the operation.
Our strength lies in monitoring system structures and looking realistically at what is possible in the current structure.
