Keda Manufacturing, a global leader in complete plant engineering for the ceramic industry, distributes renowned brands like Kada Henli, Thai, Delhi, and Thai Weihao across over 60 countries. Despite its innovation, it faced a logistical challenge in its central warehouse.
The Challenge
The warehouse was a maze of flat and tower shelves, requiring operators to cover long distances for picking, with high labor intensity. The goal: optimize storage space and enhance order preparation efficiency.
The Solution
The implementation of six Modula Lift ML75D units fully automated the picking process. Integrated with SAP and PDA scanners, materials are delivered directly to the operator, reducing preparation time from 2 minutes to 45 seconds.
Results
- Doubled speed: Picking time reduced by 50%.
- Optimized space: Storage of over 3,000 parts in 60 m².
- Staff reduction: From 8 to 5 operators, reallocating resources to higher-value tasks.
- Enhanced efficiency: More dynamic and productive work environment.
- Tangible ROI: Investment recovered in approximately 5 years.
