Dual solution boosts efficiency
THE ISCALE from Würth Industrie Service has added a scale system to its portfolio of fully-automated C-Parts solutions.
iSCALE is a sensor-controlled scale, which is directly connected to the Kanban bin and is independently movable. As a result, it can be used flexibly in the industrial environment: at the assembly line, material storage, Kanban location or directly at the workplace.
On the basis of the weight, the system notifies the requirements of production materials and other small parts digitally – from the customer's point of use directly to the ERP system of Würth Industrie Service and ensures exact replenishment.
While the main objective of the industry is to increase productivity and reduce process costs, it should also focus on improving quality and increasing flexibility. Even though C-Parts represent only a small proportion of the purchase volume of the company, the procurement efforts involved here are very high. Hence, the potential for saving lies in the optimisation of processes. iSCALE handles the logistical storage management of C-Parts almost on its own.
