Premiere at proLogistik: Children’s Day took place for the first time on July 14 with a colorful supporting program. 17 children aged between two and 13 accompanied mom or dad to work and had a lot of fun together. After a short reception with juice and snacks, the children first explored the building with their parents and were allowed to take a look at the offices. During the tour, the table football in the kitchen was immediately taken up with enthusiasm. The rally through the company then started with four stations: In the hardware department, the children created their own name bracelets depending on their age or were allowed to take the screwdriver into their own hands by screwing on a PC cooling plate. This was particularly exciting for older kids. At the marketing department station, the girls and boys were able to get really creative by making their own buttons. They created colorful works of art such as rainbow, BVB and proLogistik buttons, which they were then allowed to assemble themselves. At the next station, the People and Culture team offered various team games, while at the fourth station, the children were able to watch a “cinema presentation” of … Lire plus
The ongoing dynamic of change is also challenging intralogistics. Flexible, agile and efficient processes are a “must-have” in order to meet these challenges in the long term. However, making costly investments is sometimes not an option. Alternatively, a retrofit can achieve great things. Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) play a decisive role here. Change has always been a constant. However, the pace has picked up in light of the pandemic and the change in demand behavior. It has also become apparent that systems and processes that have proven themselves over a long period of time are reaching their limits and are showing signs of chronic exhaustion in a figurative sense. Developments in online retail are also contributing to this. While e-commerce has been established as the “new normal” in the B2C sector for years, but has received a further boost due to coronavirus, this sales channel is also increasingly shaping B2B business. Intralogistics must also meet the associated requirements. However, if this is only partially successful, it is not necessarily a question of the existing system or the existing storage system. Rather, the required target status in terms of performance can be achieved with comparatively little effort through a retrofit at … Lire plus

If you are considering this from your company’s individual perspective, it is advisable to answer a few key questions in advance: The results of the survey are initially incorporated into a specification sheet in more detail.

From paperwork to digital intralogistics in just six months Sideshore AG is a young, dynamic company in Wolfhausen (Canton of Zurich) that has been operating successfully in the sports wholesale business since 2006. As an exclusive Swiss importer and retailer, Sideshore sells trendy sports equipment and clothing from numerous manufacturers and brands. At the Wolfhausen site, around 14 employees store up to 10,000 different items and process an average of 40 to 50 customer orders per day. A look back at the time without digital warehouse management Since the company was founded, the company and the range of products have grown considerably. Before digitization with the pLG WMS LOGIS MOVE warehouse management software, the warehouse was spread over two parts of the building, each with two levels, where the ordered items were picked according to customer specifications. This meant that employees had to travel long distances and were only supported to a limited extent by the ERP system. This led to inefficiencies and errors within the logistics processes, as no warehouse management software or MDE devices were in use at the time. Criteria that were important to Sideshore AG for the commissioning of digital intralogistics – including consideration of the … Lire plus
