Best Practice: Increasing efficiency, reducing data & maintenance requirements at Continental Automotive
THE PROJECT
Goal
Efficient use of storage space
Description
Continental Automotive has successfully implemented the AutoStore warehouse system at its Brandýs nad Labem plant – its largest electronics manufacturing facility and a pilot plant for digitalization. Aimtec has integrated the Aimtec DCIx solution with Continental’s SAP system to manage various technologies such as semi-automatic VNA trucks, vertical lift systems and the AutoStore ASRS. It also manages follow-up activities by the plant’s warehousemen, operators and other staff. All the new technologies have increased efficiency, reduced data and maintenance requirements and freed up 2,000 m² of warehouse space for manufacturing.
Facts
The first AutoStore in the Czech Republic.
Without Aimtec DCIx, Continental would require 4× as much data volume and the maintenance effort.
All the new tech freed 2,000 m² for production from 5,400 m² of storage.
The project won the 2023 eLogistics Award.
