Success Story: Multivac Next Level Optimization
In the summer of 2016, MULTIVAC opened its new Logistics Center at the company headquarters in Wolfertschwenden (Allgäu) after a construction phase of around one and a half years. It is part of a new logistics concept, and thanks to its state-of-the-art storage technology it meets the increasing requirements of a globally active machine manufacturer.
Both production supply and spare parts logistics are located under one roof. End-to-end system integration was achieved through the introduction of SAP EWM. With this new building, the packaging specialist has laid the foundation for further expanding logistics as part of a continuous improvement process.
Highlights of the success story
- SAP EWM/MFS as the basis for end-to-end, digitally controlled logistics processes
- AGVs and tugger trains ensure automated supply around the clock
- High transparency and traceability thanks to serial numbers and SAP integration
- Template-based rollout to international locations - efficient and scalable
- Industry 4.0-capable logistics center, ready for robotics and future decoupling of spare parts and production logistics
