SAIA PCD3.R60X 瑞士思博 使用水平传送带来存储零件

在当今快节奏的制造业中；时间就是金钱。训练有素的工人和保持生产车间正常运转所需零件的正确组合对成功至关重要。使用精益制造计划来减少制造过程中的浪费可以帮助组织找到正确的组合，从而带来利润。全球运动解决方案制造商Saia Burgess一直在寻找减少浪费的方法。Saia Burgess是一家生产各种运动控制解决方案的制造商，位于俄亥俄州的Vandalia。螺线管和开关等运动控制解决方案在全球广泛应用于各种产品，包括:自动取款机、安全监控系统、医疗设备和军事系统。倾向于效率随着公司范围内推动精益流程和减少浪费，Saia Burgess将注意力转向了仓库。物料经理Tim O'Brien说:“精益计划在整个公司、每个部门都在进行，精益的一部分是消除浪费，寻找更好的做事方法，而仓库正好适合这一点。”为了保持九个制造部门的高效运作，Saia Burgess手头存有10，000多个SKU，这些SKU之前都存放在货架上。“很明显，我们一整天都在做许多非常多余的活动，”奥布莱恩说，“有时一天去同一个地方10或12次，挑选相同的零件，只是为了不同的工作订单。

”为了实现事半功倍的精益生产，Saia Burgess用四个KardexRemstar水平旋转架取代了仓库货架，并集成了按光拣货技术和FastPic库存管理软件。70%的零件(6，800个SKU)存放在新的传送带系统中，大部分SKU仍在货架上。“我们减少了所需的人员数量，周期计数准确性更高，我们能够更快、更有效地挑选订单，这是一次非常成功的精益努力，”O'Brien说。捡过去的纸在将自动化引入仓库之前，工人与订单是一对一的关系，每个工人一次专注于挑选一个订单。提货票每天都会生成，工人们会在货架上走来走去，寻找完成订单所需的所有零件。订单完成后，他们会将订单交付给正确的部门，然后返回仓库，在一堆提货票中挑选下一个订单。工人们经常一天数次访问快速移动的零件位置，造成了多余的活动。KardexRemstar解决方案实施四个KardexRemstar水平传送带，集成按灯拣货技术和FastPic库存管理软件，改变了订单处理方式。一名工人现在可以同时批量提取六份订单，而无需步行或寻找零件。

In today's fast-paced manufacturing industry; Time is money. Trained workers and the right mix of parts needed to keep the production floor running are critical to success. Using lean manufacturing programs to reduce waste in the manufacturing process can help organizations find the right mix that leads to profits. Saia Burgess, a global manufacturer of motion solutions, is always looking for ways to reduce waste. Saia Burgess is a manufacturer of various motion control solutions based in Vandalia, Ohio. Motion control solutions such as solenoids and switches are used worldwide in a wide range of products, including: ATMs, security surveillance systems, medical devices, and military systems. With a company-wide push to lean processes and reduce waste, Saia Burgess turned his attention to warehouses. "Lean initiatives are going on throughout the company, in every department, and part of Lean is eliminating waste and finding better ways to do things, and warehouses fit right into that," says Tim O'Brien, materials manager. To keep its nine manufacturing divisions running efficiently, Saia Burgess has more than 10,000 SKUs on hand, which were previously stored on shelves. "Obviously, we're doing a lot of very redundant activities throughout the day," O 'Brien said, "sometimes going to the same place 10 or 12 times a day and picking out the same parts, just for different work orders."

To achieve lean production with less, Saia Burgess replaced warehouse shelves with four KardexRemstar horizontal rotating shelves and integrated light-by-light picking technology and FastPic inventory management software. 70% of the parts (6,800 SKUs) are stored in the new conveyor system, and most SKUs are still on the shelves. "We reduced the number of people needed, cycle counts were more accurate, and we were able to pick orders faster and more efficiently, which was a very successful lean effort," O'Brien said. Before automation was introduced into the warehouse, workers had a one-to-one relationship with orders, with each worker focusing on picking one order at a time. Pick up tickets are generated every day, and workers walk up and down the shelves looking for all the parts needed to fulfill orders. Once the order is completed, they deliver it to the correct department and then return to the warehouse to pick out the next order from a pile of pick-up tickets. Workers often visit fast-moving parts locations several times a day, creating excess activity. The KardexRemstar solution implements four KardexRemstar horizontal conveyor belts, integrates pick-by-light technology and FastPic inventory management software, and changes the way orders are processed. One worker can now pick up six orders in bulk at the same time without having to walk or hunt for parts.
