Learn how a leading Portuguese wine producer, Sogrape, partnered with LTPlabs to design a new production facility for enhanced FMCG production efficiency. Read the case study for facility layout designs, the simulation model, and a strategic automation solution to cut lead times and optimize resources.
Micro-fulfillment centers are small, sometimes highly automated facilities that can fulfill online orders for delivery as well as click-and-collect in-store pickups. They use a combination of automated picking technology and manual picking. Dematic wanted to create a workforce optimization model that they would be able to present to retailers. It would help them understand the staffing required to operate their micro-fulfillment centers and how different scenarios could impact their ability to fulfill orders.
This case study explores how MOSIMTEC and DCS used advanced simulation modeling technology to optimize the design of an automated distribution center for a pet supply company. Explore how warehouse modeling led to real efficiency gains and helped to achieve a 30% reduction in expenses.
Symbotic is a warehouse automation solutions provider. Its systems are based on mobile robots that can travel freely throughout a dense storage structure, accessing products in all locations and handling them at a very high throughput rate. The company needed a tool to help their customers learn the impact of warehouse reorganization and compare capital investments against expected operational savings before the actual introduction of automation systems.
Phoenix Analytics is a Turkish consulting company and provider of simulation solutions for various industries. They were involved in developing a warehouse optimization project for one of the biggest ice-cream and frozen desserts manufacturers in Europe and Asia.
Element AI turns cutting-edge AI research and industry expertise into software solutions that exponentially learn and improve. The company was looking into potential ways to combine simulation with AI and identified three challenges to address with the assistance of AnyLogic.
A global FMCG manufacturing leader optimized its food product inventory management while ensuring maximum service level and minimizing product quality deterioration. For this task, consultants from ITC Infotech built a simulation-based model of the FMCG company’s multi-echelon distribution network to find interdependencies between product quality deterioration, fill rates, and the shelf-life factor that helps inventory planning. As a result, the business would be able to decide how much product should be manufactured and make informed decisions.
DHL Supply Chain was going to install a box sortation system for a new facility. To automate the sorting process effectively, they simulated it with AnyLogic and received the results of different scenarios for use in future operations.
Automation Intelligence, together with Noorjax Consulting, worked on improving the parcel sorting system. Tilt tray sorters are commonly used in parcel sorting, distribution, order fulfillment centers, and baggage handling. Thanks to the AnyLogic simulation model, the parcel sorting system’s throughput was increased by minimizing parcel recirculation.
Delovye linii is one of the largest carriers in Russia. The company has 180 sites throughout the country and arranges shipments to 1,500 towns. In total, it uses approximately 540 thousand square meters of warehouse space and this figure is still rising. Clients' base widening and cargo traffic increase resulted in the need to enhance the efficiency of the company’s logistic processes. The company’s management defined two main tasks: increasing the warehouse operation efficiency and goods rotation in the warehouses.
