“We wanted to move at speed, so it was imperative that we quickly create a visual plan for the new build. Having previously worked with the Infios team, I knew they’d be able to deliver.”

Challenge
- Assessing new warehouse layouts: Carlsberg needed warehouse layouts and routing that ensured safety, efficiency and best practices across its global footprint.
- Increasing capacity during peak periods: adding peak period capacity to retain global customer service levels–while reducing costs associated with staff and material handling.
- Testing new ideas effectively: testing new ideas with cumbersome, time-consuming methods–spreadsheets and drawing programs–produced 2D visuals that failed to communicate vision, cost benefits and return on investment.
Solution
- Simulating optimal warehouse layouts: Infios's Warehouse Design and Simulation tool enabled Carlsberg to simulate and select layouts that improved productivity and KPIs in global warehouses and bottle yards.
- Meeting demand with capacity and design: CLASS-modeled changes to create one-way aisles during peak periods, allowing for increased speed limits, reduced aisle widths and increased overall capacity.
- Visualizing best practices to overcome change resistance: visuals of best practice packing for pallets and containers combined with an engaging solution to standardize global supply chain execution, best design for warehouse efficiency and safety, more capacity during peak periods.
“The models are famous within the organization and we are frequently asked to create models and movies to show the real tangible benefits of adjustments to the way we currently work.”
Our customers are at the center of what we do
Linfox
“We have used CLASS for at least eight projects so far and have yet to find a layout design or task we cannot simulate. We are confident that the software will pay for itself within 12 months, if it has not already.”
Crown Paints
“It was imperative that the voice technology could integrate easily with our existing processes.”
RS Components
“We wanted to enhance our customer experience by ensuring that our customers consistently receive the correct product and quantity within short delivery windows.”
Galipo
“The system needed to be customized to our needs, specifically to Galipo Foods and the food service distribution. That’s where Infios played a very critical role.”
