Spare Parts Distributor
Facing & solving industry challenges
Handling Complexity
Manual Handling / Acme Solution
Spare parts distributors often handle a high volume of small parts, which can be difficult to manage and track. This can lead to lost parts, inaccurate inventory counts, and delays in order fulfillment.
Conveyors as well as robotic solutions facilitate the movement of diverse products efficiently and smoothly and are adaptable to changing product handling needs. Integrated 3D Vision & AI Systems for robots or cobots facilitate easy identification and handle products accurately.
Space Management
Manual Handling / Acme Solution
Efficiently organising and utilising often limited storage space can be challenging. This may lead to suboptimal use of available space, making it harder to locate and access spare parts quickly.
AS/RS and smart software solutions allow for better use of existing warehouse space, maximising vertical and horizontal storage space.
Order Fulfillment Accuracy & Efficiency
Manual Handling / Acme Solution
Picking and packing spare parts can be complex and error-prone, as it often requires a high level of accuracy and attention to detail, especially for large orders or orders with a variety of items. This can lead to delays in order fulfillment and customer dissatisfaction, and missed business opportunities.
Implementing a WMS enhances inventory management and optimises picking routes, offering real-time visibility into inventory levels.
Conveyor systems automate the movement of materials and products throughout the warehouse and between different stages of order fulfillment, reducing manual handling time.
Robots can be employed for order-picking tasks with high precision and speed.
Operational Cost
Manual Handling / Acme Solution
Labour, equipment, and training are needed to keep operations running smoothly and products handled safely. For manual operations with fluctuating demand, it can be hard to source additional manpower short-term and ensure timely training.
Conveyors, AS/RS systems, and other automated solutions move goods quickly and efficiently, with significantly reduced risk of accidents or errors. Automation solutions can integrate all aspects of the materials handling process, from picking and packing to shipping, reducing labour- and cost-intense processes.
Limited Scalability
Manual Handling / Acme Solution
Scalability is a constraint in manual warehouses, making it hard to handle growing order volumes and diversified product offerings.
Automation solutions are scalable and can be implemented gradually. Conveyor Systems, AS/RS and WMS streamline operations, enhance space utilisation, and accommodate rising order volumes and product diversity. Automated picking robots and packing machines can significantly increase order processing speed.
