Mobile information processing
to increasing picking speeds
Reducing manual data capture to improve data accuracy – a goal
that Woerle has also achieved in picking. Here, the staff carries the
ERP system along in the form of handheld devices.
The pickers using this “Mobile ERP” solution no longer need to
work with picking notes, as the order data is sent directly to their
handhelds for processing. The advantages of mobile data capture
and processing are obvious. Paperless processes make the employees
more productive, the error rate is substantially reduced, and
the data quality as well as the data availability is improved as there
are no media disruptions. Supply of the picking zone is also managed
by the CSB-System that initiates automatic stock removals
from the high-bay storage facility.
Dispatch management is handled via the picking control station
by CSB. Full pallets and partial pallets are separated. For full
pallets, the stock removal order is transmitted directly to the highbay
storage facility. The partial pallets coming from picking are
returned to the high-bay warehouse, from where they are taken
out together with the full pallets of the order or route, and moved
to staging tracks for loading. During stock removal, customer-specific
labels are attached to the pallets.
Great progress in the digitized cheese
production
Woerle has demonstrated how the ERP system has enabled the
end-to-end digitization in the entire company. The system links all
processes, from the purchase order to dispatch, and provides the
executive management with the transparency they need in their
day-to-day operations.
The integration of the internal logistics is already well advanced.
“We have made great progress on our way towards the digitized
cheese production,” says Hager. Yet, this is not all. Additional projects
are soon to be implemented, and the family business – now
into its fifth generation – is eager to get started: 35-year old Gerrit
Woerle will take over as a CEO from his father, Gerhard. In fact,
Woerle is here to stay.
