Challenge

  • Operational complexities of the automotive sector: Walter Schmitt supplies motors, gearboxes, and axles for commercial vehicle production.
  • Visibility and control: needed integrated pre-supplier control to ensure full visibility and streamline deliveries.
  • Production-synchronous logistics: required sophisticated processes for just-in-time (JIT) and just-in-sequence (JIS) deliveries to support sequential production.
  • Non-standardized workflows: coordinating multiple locations with varied workflows for receiving, storage, sequencing, and loading required advanced planning and control.

Solution

  • Purpose-built WMS: implemented Infios WM (Warehouse Management) to meet the requirements of the automotive industry.
  • Advanced supply chain visibility: enabled n-n relationships between pre-suppliers, logistics providers, and OEMs for complete procurement management.
  • Automation and safety: integrated systematic checks for internal transports to ensure fast identification and secure handling.
  • Step-by-step rollout: Successfully deployed at multiple sites.

“The powerful software solution from Infios has all necessary functions that supply processes for production and assembly in the automotive supplier sector require.”
