Warehousing for production supply
elobau puts warehouse management system PSIwms into operation
The sensor technology manufacturer elobau GmbH & Co KG put the PSIwms warehouse management system from PSI Logistics GmbH fully into operation in August.
According to PSI, this increases efficiency and transparency in warehousing for production supply and shipping. The close functional networking with the PSIpenta ERP system also reduces the number of interfaces. The integrated IT infrastructure opens up additional optimization potential. PSIwms replaces the previous systems.
Founded in 1972, elobau is a supplier of non-contact sensor technology and operating elements in mechanical engineering. Around 1,400 pallet spaces are managed at the logistics center in Leutkirch to ensure on-time production supply and processing of shipping orders.
As a central automation system, elobau also uses a state-of-the-art AutoStore cube with 30,000 container storage locations. The direct connection of the programmable logic controller to PSIwms and new processes optimized for AutoStore ensure a significant increase in system performance and efficiency of up to 20 percent compared to the old system. An external warehouse is also integrated into the warehouse management and process control via the multisite capability.
PSIwms controls the management of incoming goods and storage locations, precise picking and, via the transport kanban from the AutoStore system and high-bay warehouse, the provision of components in production as required.
"The result is a sustainably improved and significantly more efficient workflow with a high level of process transparency. In addition, PSI Click Design allows user interfaces to be optimally adapted to individual requirements. Despite the complex processes, we benefit from a clear IT infrastructure," summarizes elobau logistics manager Matthias Gromer.
