An integral solution implemented in a minimum time! Due to the fast increase of sales in the last years, a dental implants’ manufacturer had to respond to new requirements regarding internal logistic processes.
In a few months, orders assortment and performance were changed from conventional (long and complex picking lists) to an automated system, thanks to the implementation of Pick to Light
This automated design includes 500 displays, 5 areas’ displays and the entire equipment of materials flow. The new storage system and the efficient transport method guarantee a high assortment performance and increases productivity levels
High assortment performance
AS of May 2008, staff remained standing while working in endless picking lists. More than 1500 orders with an average of 3.6 items had to be assorted in a daily basis, resulting in a rate of 1.4 million of high-tech items per year.
Nowadays, operators are able to perform other activities at the same time orders are assorted. The most obvious example is the growth and improvement in quality management, customer service, assortment and packing areas.
Full orders ready within minutes
Materials flow receives orders directly from the inventory system.
How does it work? The order sequence of each client is optimized based on the priority of delivery. Therefore, orders are assorted just in a couple of minutes after receiving it.
Efficient operator’s training
Before the implementation of this system, several operators were hired from one day to another due to the excessive workloads.
Currently, the number of employees is very stable. In addition, training new operators in Pick to Light technologies only takes 10 minutes, which represents a huge competitiveness advantage.
