Integrated Support to Logistics Processes for “Two Birds with One Stone”

01.02.2013

Epilog has concluded a new comprehensive and particularly interesting project of warehouse automation for Bibus Metals AG and Sauter Edelstahl AG.

The two companies, with whom we were cooperating for the first time, form part of the well-known Swiss multinational company BIBUS Holding, which develops technology, materials and electronics for the segments of engineering, logistics and services provided Europe-wide.

The project proved to be interesting for several reasons. Although they are part of the same holding group, the two companies posed two very different challenges. Their scope of operation, as well as their product and service ranges, differ to a great extent, which means they also have different requirements. We had to cooperate with a number of contractors, the time available for implementation was short, whilst the process itself was very complex.

Despite the many challenges, we implemented the IT support in a timely and successful manner for:

  • an automated warehouse for long materials;
  • an automated warehouse for plates with automatic picking and packaging;
  • an automated warehouse for small material ('fittings');
  • a complex manual warehouse.

In addition to this, we provided the clients with support for working with mobile terminals, cutting devices for steel coils and sheet metal plates, and consignment support.

According to Rok Staničić, the project manager, a state-of-the-art warehouse has been set up that provides full support for all internal logistics processes. “We are cooperating well with the two customers, who openly express their appreciation. As we progress, we try to meet their additional requests and requirements, so that they in turn can ensure the even greater satisfaction of their own customers, thus remaining competitive in the market”, adds Staničić.
