Modernization in Karlstein
Battery manufacturer BMZ Group orders warehouse management system PSIwms
The battery manufacturer BMZ Group has awarded PSI Logistics GmbH with the delivery of the warehouse management system PSIwms.
For the high-tech production of lithium-ion batteries, the BMZ Group operates three production units and a central logistics center with 10,000 pallet spaces at its headquarters in Karlstein near Frankfurt am Main. Production supply and disposal is handled by six tugger trains via inbound/outbound stations in the logistics center and the three production units.
After implementation, PSIwms takes over the process control in the incoming and outgoing goods areas of the logistics center and the three production units. PSIwms also manages a narrow and wide aisle warehouse as well as a single-aisle tray warehouse for the complex intralogistics processes for the timely, time-critical loading of production with components for the batteries.
In addition to four pick-to-light picking, repacking and packing workstations, the software system coordinates the tugger train transports in particular. The logistics control station ensures end-to-end process transparency. In addition, the ERP system, the material flow computer for the tray warehouse and a test system for testing batteries and accumulators are connected to PSIwms.
The previous warehouse management system is to be replaced in the first half of 2021. The "Billing" and "Multi-client capability" modules of PSIwms, which will then also be installed, offer BMZ the option of temporarily renting out part of the warehouse and storage locations and expanding its business areas to include third-party logistics.
