The most common problems we encounter with white goods production are unplanned line stops or delays due to inefficient deliveries of components to the production line.
By continuously monitoring the movement of material handling equipment, it is possible to standardise and continuously monitor the flows into production. By recording the time needed to complete a manual task, we help identify and address root causes of differences in productivity on different stages of the process of between shifts.
Unplanned production downtime can be reduced by up to 100%
The most common problems in internal logistics for white goods production are related to the planning and monitoring of logistics train routes and schedules. A particular challenge is to ensure adequate stock levels at the production line and timeliness, especially if deliveries are push and the line requires very high process predictability.
Firstly, we analyse how the current process of delivering raw materials to the production line is going, e.g. when the biggest deviations occur and where the bottlenecks are. On this basis, we help to set a standard (routes, frequency of journeys, number of carriages, etc.), which our system then monitors 24/7, providing, among other things, automatic alerts in the event of delays or undesirable deviations.
Efficient and standardised internal transport not only improves OEE, but also makes it possible to reduce the number of resources involved in internal logistics, especially logistics trains or carriages.
