Digital transformation of logistics operations using discrete event simulation from a manual material handling state to ASRS state. Study bottlenecks and suggest improvement in the warehouse and logistics layout and operations.
Project Background
The plant in Belgium was an assembly plant and received parts from Japan and Türkiye. Parts were stored in a temporary warehouse and the movement of parts for the assembly line were determined by the vehicle build schedule.
Build simulation of “as-is” flow process (create digital Twin), compare results of simulation versus actual environment. Study the benefits of using an ASRS system. If beneficial, propose an efficient system design to replace the flow racks with ASRS.
Our Scope
Our Solution
APPSistem deployed a team of experienced engineers with a sound background in industrial engineering. We validated the “as-is” setup leveraging Discrete Event Simulation and compared it to the actual layout in the plant. Our team identified issues with the current layout and provided detailed simulation report for –
APPSistem suggested the use of ASRS to help with decongestion and optimization of stock and pick routes, reduce floor space requirements, and improve overall throughput. We also leveraged the simulation findings to compare current process to proposed ASRS for following parameters –
