ARE YOU READY FOR THE LOGISTICS 5.0 TRANSITION?

Logistics 5.0 if knocking on the front door. Companies must prepare for an era in which they will operate very differently from today. Whether or not companies are ready for Logistics 5.0 will largely depend on how open they are to innovation;

Let´s suppose your warehouse or distribution center already counts on an advanced Warehouse Management System. In this case, we may say you already use data analytics to optimize operations efficiency. This means that you are already one step ahead of the competition and you are already thinking about the changes brought by logistics 4.0;

But making the next step forward logistics 5.0 is all about bringing velocity, integrating the digital innovations and Automated Racking Systems you are already thinking of – from the moment your client makes his next order to the last-mile delivery - when your delivery reaches the client's front door. And no errors during this process, please! The transition to the Logistics 5.0 era has already started and for sure, this is a competitive advantage, always when managers can adapt and assimilate the change rapidly;

There is no doubt, the logistics hub is the heart of every supply chain and logistics process. Simple, robust, and affordable automated storage technologies like the Automated 3D e.scala Fulfillment Systems are here to change the way you process orders in your distribution center. This solution can speed up your entire supply chain.

 

STAMH S.A. AS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF SOLUTIONS 12 - THE EVENT IN ATHENS, GREECE

STAMH S.A. is an essential part of STAMH Group in the international racking systems and warehouse automation fields. Mr. Emmanouele Armenakas – managing director of STAMH S.A. is a creative, innovative, and talented multi-year experienced team player, who gained his experience in business administration, project management, and international business development;

He´s a specialist in fulfillment processes automation and will be participating in Solutions 12 to resolve all the questions the more than 250 visitors and 30 speakers may have about the brand new Automated е.scala Fulfillment System and its management software and robust racking structure;

 

SWARM MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE OF THE E.SCALA SYSTEM? WHAT IS THIS?

Nope, you can’t take part in product searching, extraction, and transportation in the fulfillment center - the system is completely automated;

The new, Automated e.scala software solution manages sequences of multiple different totes and bins at different points in the racking system. That means multiple products are stored and extracted in a fully, 100% automated way, simultaneously, and immediately after the order reception, with no human intervention. The warehouse operator will just have to wait for the next bin/tote to assemble and prepare the order to the warehouse;

Swarm management software means “goods to person” principle is applied, and your fulfillment or distribution center is future-proved and improved;

The uptime performance guarantee of e.scala means multiple routes are provided to each stored location, bringing even more velocity, accessibility, and dynamic workflow;

So don’t worry about efficiency and process automation, because STAMH S.A. and the swarm management software will take care of everything.

 

THE HUMAN FACTOR IN THE WAREHOUSE OR THE DISTRIBUTION CENTER

Employees are considered a long-term investment and their welfare and training are a vital concern for the company and the supply chain.

Technologies must be replaced, added, and adapted according to the needs and demands of the workers;

The Automated e.scala System significantly reduces noise pollution in the distribution center. The noise levels remain permanently below 20 dB creating a perfect working environment.

People, trained to work with the system will appreciate their constant ergonomic position and lack of unnecessary physical effort, as e.scala stores and extract bins automatically;

 

LOGISTICS 12 – MOVING FORWARD IN 3 DIRECTIONS: HUMAN FACTOR, SUSTAINABILITY, AND FLEXIBILITY

Logistics 5.0 aims to integrate technologies with sustainable, resilient, and flexible supply chain technologies in the warehouse.

 

OK. I HAVE BEEN THINKING OF INTEGRATING E.SCALA. WHERE DO I START FROM?

The so-called entry-level technology of the Automated 3D e.scala Racking System means that You can consider integration, starting from 500 containers/bins or SKUs inventory. The system can be expanded if your business needs to store, extract, and process more products at some point in its development. Digital transformation will be essential in the era of Logistics 5.0. This transformation is inevitable for suppliers, manufacturers, logisticians, sellers, distributors, and even consumers.
