Error-free material supply in production as part of intralogistics

Your challenges:

• Structures that have developed over time result in inefficient material flows 
• Lack of adaptability and flexibility of the plant structure 
• Capacity limits of the site have been reached

UNITY solution approach:

• Design a future-oriented and flexible factory structure 
• Create a long-term master plan for the entire factory 
• Provide transparency regarding upcoming investments, space requirements, personnel requirements over time 
• Determine guidelines and framework conditions for evaluating short- and medium-term measures from a strategic perspective 
• Create a comprehensive master plan as the basis for the factory's long-term development

Your challenges:

• Integrative planning of all measures from construction, technology, organizational and process planning 
• Integrating the requirements of all technical departments for the layout

UNITY solution approach:

• Develop a detailed CAD fine layout and a room book for a precise description of the factory
• Plan all workstations including multi-media connections
• Plan logistics operations and equipment in detail
• Create specifications for equipment and technology
• Create a 3D factory model with virtual reality function, taking into account Building Information Modeling (BIM)
• Develop a modular implementation roadmap
• Integrate construction planning into the overall process

Your challenges:

• Monitoring and controlling of all activities for commissioning 
• Accurate performance management and short control loops 
• Lack of acceptance for new processes and technologies

UNITY solution approach:

• Continuously measure the performance of all technical trades and implement measures in case of deviation 
• Record, evaluate and process amendments and errors as well as manage the entire process
• Develop a detailed strategy for an efficient ramp-up of production operations in a short period of time
• Coordinate and support the commissioning of equipment and processes, including the supervision of system tests

Your challenges:

• Optimal use of space at the lowest possible cost when setting up new intralogistics processes 
• Selecting suitable technologies (e.g. conveyor and storage systems) 
• Seamless process organization after system set-up

UNITY solution approach:

• Develop a concept for flexible and scalable material flow including best-practice approaches from different industries 
• Conduct a cost-benefit analysis and simulate system variants 
• Establish process standards through commissioning support
