The warehouse management system ensures lower carbon dioxide emissions by reducing energy requirements as well as the careful use of resources and a reduction in waste through optimized material management. The switch from paper-based work to digital process management alone, as is the case with the introduction of ProlagWorld, results in a significant reduction in the use of materials. Even almost self-evident functions such as route optimization or two-stage picking ensure a reduction in energy requirements in the warehouse. The software also offers the user further levers for sustainable logistics processes in the warehouse.

In the automated warehouse of a large Austrian textile manufacturer, the introduction of ProlagWorld has reduced energy consumption by around 50 percent. ProlagWorld controls the storage and retrieval machines in the warehouse at different speeds depending on the degree of utilization and the length of the route. In addition, the system automatically switches off resources that are not required in order to systematically reduce carbon dioxide emissions. A practical side effect: the "economy cycle" of the storage and retrieval machines protects the material, reduces wear and tear and extends the service life of the components.

Order consolidation reduces packaging material and transport distances, as it bundles delivery orders in such a way that they are always delivered to the customer together using one means of transport wherever possible.
The ProlagWorld functions de-kitting and remnant management, which are used by CIM customers in production, ensure the sustainable use of materials and the reduction of waste. With de-kitting, finished parts or returns can be easily dismantled with software support. For example, individual defective components can be replaced without having to dispose of the entire finished part. Remnant management ensures optimum use of materials and costs, as remnants are returned to the warehouse and are therefore available for new production orders. This process is optimized in such a way that hardly any offcuts need to be disposed of.
