Normagrup: automation shines a light on logistics

The leading Spanish company in the emergency lighting market, ‪@normagrup‬, has expanded its production plant in Asturias, Spain, with the installation of an automated system for boxes with approximately 8,000 locations. Managed by Easy WMS from Mecalux, this solution houses the components used to manufacture the products. Its operation is fully automated, and it boasts various autonomous intelligent vehicles (AIVs) that automatically connect the warehouse with the production lines. The centre is also equipped with pallet racking and a cantilever rack for managing bulkier goods. https://www.mecalux.com/case-studies/... The firm came to the conclusion that its best bet was to automate its logistics systems. The reasons are obvious: an AS/RS would not only leverage the storage space to house a larger number of products, but would also boost productivity. 🔊 Mikel Jaureguizar - General Manager at Normagrup “The raw materials represent the origin of the other processes that take place on the production lines. To manage them efficiently, it was clear to us that we needed an automated solution, even more so considering that our centre’s operations are becoming more and more automated.” This centre has several working areas that operate independently to be able to act quickly and flexibly but, at the same time, are interconnected. This is the case of the new    • Miniload - Automated warehouses for boxes ...   AS/RS for boxes from Mecalux: on the one hand, it houses and controls the raw materials, and on the other, it supplies the production lines with the goods required for day-to-day operations. To connect the miniload system with the other processes in the production plant, Easy WMS    • Warehouse Management Software - Easy WMS   has been integrated with the Sage Murano ERP system at Normagrup and with the software that manages the movements of the AIVs. As this solution is automated, Normagrup can monitor all the items and eliminate any risk of error. Bolstered by technology and automation, nothing can hold Normagrup back.
