Aeroquip Material Handling Case Study
Key Technology
- 8 Double-stacked horizontal carousels (White)
- 4 dual shuttle automatic inserters/extractors
- 10 ergonomically designed “Count-Weigh” workstations from Simbiote
- Hytrol 32 lane high speed sortation conveyor
- Windows-based GUI screens for carousel and conveyor sortation statistics and diagnostics
- RoboCom’s Warehouse Management System
Business Challenge
- Thirteen of Aeroquip’s distribution centers were consolidated down to two.
- To accommodate increased order volume, a new highly automated facility was built in Van Wert, Ohio.
- New facility serves as a “real time” buffer on the back-end of their manufacturing process.
- This buffer must be used for finished goods order picking and general assembly of new SKU’s.
Results
- Bastian’s solution helped Aeroquip better serve their 2500 OEM’s and 850 distributors by slashing order fulfillment cycle time by 40%.
- Carousel pods achieved maximum throughput: 500 totes are retrieved and delivered per hour.
