Fast Trains Thanks to Fast Logistics

16.12.2014

GIGATON launched its warehouse management system LogoS for the second Siemens plant in Krefeld.

After having been successfully introduced to the Siemens locomotive plant in Munich at the beginning of 2013, LogoS has also been launched in the second Siemens plant in Krefeld. The WMS of the Heddesheimer software expert Gigaton takes over the complete steering of the warehouse logistics for the supply to production.

Regional and express trains are built for both national and international customers by Siemens in the Krefeld plant. Amongst others, all generations of the ICE series (InterCityExpress) have been manufactured here. The introduction of a new WMS in Krefeld was the second step of the WMS project in order to ensure an optimization of individual processes into a single process cycle including the creation of higher process reliability and transparency. LogoS is now introduced cross-plant as well.

Homogeneous Workflow for Internal Logistics

Approximately 100 employees of the Krefeld plant are currently using LogoS® at work, most of them on the basis of a data radio system. From receipt of all incoming goods, administration of manufacturing orders, picking of large and small components, consolidation of assemblies to ultimately the final delivery to the individual production tracks; LogoS completely controls the internal logistics.

In the complete workflow strict compliance rules of the Siemens A.G. have to be respected, i.e. the retracing of charges and serial numbers must be granted.

No Process without Load Carriers

The focus of the optimization lies on the accuracy of the picking process and the punctual and precisely clocked delivery to the production tracks. The handling of stock outages plays an equally important role as the observance of specified packaging requirements which are necessary for a smooth process in manufacturing. The delivery to the production tracks will take place on load carriers, if required on special load carriers, being also completely managed in LogoS based on serial numbers.
