Optimisation of logistics and warehouse management with a payback period of six months
The case study deals with the optimization of warehouse management in Plant Simulation – Digital Factory. The main objective was to solve the problem of pallet overload in the receiving area and to propose an efficient alternative to the planned construction of a new hall. Instead of expanding the existing infrastructure, the focus was on designing an automated warehouse with optimized material flow. The study evaluates the capacity and efficiency of this solution in relation to the expected requirements of the project. The results show that the proposed system can ensure smooth operation and adequate storage capacity, thus providing the customer with a more efficient and sustainable solution for future development. The cost savings amount to hundreds of thousands of euros at one time and tens of thousands of euros each year thereafter. The project’s return on capital expenditure (Capex) was less than six months.
