Aimtec in Action: We’ve delivered a complete warehouse logic and automation control system at DŘEVO TRUST. The newly added hall is equipped with modern technologies, including: ☑ Kardex vertical storage system ☑ STILL VNA truck ☑ Körber ASRS All these systems are seamlessly managed through the Aimtec DCIx #digitalisation platform, ensuring optimal communication and control of each #warehouse component. This transformation has led to increased #productivity, allowing DŘEVO TRUST to offer an even broader selection of products to their customers. How does it work? Aimtec DCIx coordinates the entire process: ▶ Each integrated technology, Kardex storing various slats, semi-automatic STILL VNA and Körber ASRS handling high-turnover goods, operates with its own logic flow. ▶ TGW Group conveyors handle the movement of goods, further enhancing operational efficiency. The result? ⏩ The system kicks into action with a shipping command from the ERP system. The Aimtec DCIx solution intelligently distributes tasks between Kardex, manual picking, and the automated system, providing complete visibility of order status and contents.
