Reliable Warehouse Automation for Industrial Supply
New Levels of Performance with Automation
Industrial supply encompasses producing and selling a wide range of products required in industrial environments.
In wholesale businesses (and sometimes online B2B), this includes products like:
- Fasteners
- Hardware and tools
- Electric drive and automation technology
- Mechanical, electric, and electronic equipment
- Pneumatics
- Hydraulics
Efficient and reliable industrial supply logistics are essential to ensure operations run smoothly and companies achieve the highest levels of performance and growth.
Automation for Production Supply and Distribution
Industrial supply companies manufacture and distribute products mainly to B2B customers, with warehouses combining production and distribution. Production supply companies typically use mobile robots, and distribution is based on specific service levels.
Automating the entire process for improved warehouse logistics—from receiving preliminary parts to distributing the finished products—can increase margins.
Spare Parts Centers
Spare parts centers are primarily designed as wholesale or multichannel distribution centers. Inventory requires mixed box pallets/roll containers for wholesale orders and for preparing online orders for loose box shipping.
Today’s challenges for this sector include:
- Labor scarcity
- Labor turnover
- Performance/growth
- Maintaining service levels
