SOLERA
Sector: Industry - Electrical Material
Implementación: January 2025
Lugar: Spain
Solución: AutoStore
Solera manufacturer of low voltage electrical material, with more than 50 years of experience, starts its path in intralogistics automation with Smartlog’s solution. The installation, equipped with 5 high-speed robots and 5,326 bins, optimizes the available space, improves order management in its medium consumption lines and guarantees an agile and accurate inventory.
Logistical Challenges
Solera faced the challenge of improving order management efficiency for its medium consumption lines. The main objective was to reduce operation times and maximize available storage space, ensuring accurate inventory control and adaptability to demand growth, without the need to physically expand the facility. Additionally, the upcoming migration of their ERP from AS400 to SAP represented a challenge that required a smooth and uninterrupted transition, maintaining operations 16 hours a day with high productivity levels.
Solution
Solera has decided to implement Smartlog’s AutoStore technology. It includes two versatile carrousel stations, which allow both infeed and outfeed, providing great operational flexibility. This technology will be fully integrated with the AS400 system and is prepared for future migration to SAP, given the flexibility and interoperability of Galys, our own warehouse management software.
Thanks to its commitment to Smartlog, Solera will be able to increase storage density, maximizing the use of available space with the capacity to manage up to 5,326 bins. In addition, order picking accuracy will be significantly improved, reducing errors and ensuring greater customer satisfaction. Automation will optimize inventory management, speeding up delivery times and increasing productivity by automating repetitive tasks, freeing employees to focus on more value-added activities.
