JACKON Insulation by BEWI is a leading manufacturer of insulation and construction boards made of extruded polystyrene rigid foam (XPS) and has been offering outstanding solutions for the construction and insulation market, both nationally and internationally, for over 35 years. The spirit of innovation with regard to automation and digitalization has always been a top priority at JACKON Insulation by BEWI. The innovative 3D warehouse management and forklift guidance system solution from ABF was needed to master the intralogistics challenges at the Mechau production plant.
The intralogistics suite OneBase®MFT was connected to the existing ERP system and ensures material tracking and material flow control in the warehouse. The material transports are carried out using 13 forklift trucks of different makes and tugger trains.
For clean warehouse management, it is necessary for material movements by forklift truck to be booked correctly and without gaps in the system. The ABF forklift control system was introduced to avoid errors and unnecessary effort caused by manual bookings of material movements.
Another important component of the forklift guidance system is the system guidance for processing the pending material transports. Transport orders are displayed to the forklift drivers on the vehicle terminal (tablet) mounted in the vehicle and processing becomes child’s play with the support of modern 3D warehouse visualization. When the transport order is completed, the new storage location is booked fully automatically via the interface to the inventory-managing ERP system. This means that manual input in the ERP is no longer necessary.
All material movements reported by the forklift control system are recorded in the ABF warehouse management system (WMS). From the raw materials warehouse to the finished goods warehouse, every pallet is recorded seamlessly. This allows continuous traceability in the event of quality defects or damage and is absolutely essential due to the high quantities stored in the open-air warehouse.
The MFT Desktop offers all the necessary functions of modern digital warehouse management. In addition, all material stocks are displayed transparently and precisely in a 3D warehouse visualization (digital twin).
