Rubber engineering: Scanner organize the warehouse
One of the leaders in the field of technical elements such as rubber, rubber-metal and rubber-plastic is the company Gummi Technik Wager+Wagner GmbH. The company is in its third generation and looks back on healthy growth in the past. This increased the need for storage space, which was not expandable at the current location anymore and goods unconventionally had to be stored in the hallways. As a result for the employees, it was not uncommon to rearrange pallets, to gain access to goods that are stored behind them. The next shift‘s staff often was not aware of the rearrangement so that they end up searching for what they needed. Gummi Technik could not expand the storage space but the company turned searching into finding again with the help of abas eB. Remedy was found in a scanner-based warehouse management system.
The staff captures the goods with scanners and barcodes and records the storage location in the scanner‘s ERP-input screen. The ERP system delivers information on goods within seconds and helps locating them in the warehouse. This semi-automatic stockyard book entry system saves the company a lot of money. The according scanners and antennas are provided by Barcodat, a provider that specializes in such technology.
