Handling Complexity

Manual Handling / Acme Solution

Manual Handling

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.

Acme Solution

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

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.

Acme Solution

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

Manual Handling

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. 

Acme Solution

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

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.

Acme Solution

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

Scalability is a constraint in manual warehouses, making it hard to handle growing order volumes and diversified product offerings.

Acme Solution

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.
