🆕 Case Study: Sabbioni modernized its warehouse with six automated VLMs and picking stations in collaboration with Modula, boosting efficiency, accuracy, and tracking, especially during peak seasons like Black Friday and Christmas. Challenge: Their logistics system needed restructuring to handle the rising order volumes, particularly during peak shopping periods and special online promotions, due to errors in manual picking processes leading to delays and critical mistakes in accurately retrieving diverse products for packaging. Solution: Modula's automated VLMs streamlined Sabbioni's picking processes by integrating with their ERP and WMS systems, enhancing efficiency, accuracy, and scalability in the perfumery industry.

I tend to take this Lidl story as a good example of how Industrial companies should not be digitalized. Now the Lidl story has become a case study on ERP - There are hundreds of such stories available with Industrial digitalization. In a spicy tale from a Global Food manufacturer, a whopping 5 million was tossed into deploying an MES system in their spice factory. As Digital Leads put it, 'We promised them a Ferrari, but after deployment, only a VW Beetle showed up. Users, however, insisted on sticking to their bicycles.' 🚲 The grand finale? A failed project and 5 million vanished into thin air. And this isn't a solo act – MES successes in factories are as rare as winning the lottery. 🎰 Why the digital déjà vu in Industrial projects? Industrial environments are like a rollercoaster – dynamic, complex, and ever-changing. The waterfall model falls flat, and what dazzles in Factory 1 might not even get a nod in Factory 2. So what is the solution> Enter the Smartphone analogy. 📱 They all come with the same features; the user customizes it with apps based on his needs. Apple and Google don't tailor-make the platform for users; instead, they let users add what they need. Simple, cost-efficient, and logical. So, if it's crystal clear... Why do Industrial decision-makers struggle to fathom Modular Business Capabilities? Why the trap of Point Solutions? Lack of awareness 🤔 Industrial platforms and open standards are like the VIP section – not everyone's in. Fear of change 😱 Industrial digitalization has been a land of point solutions, and adapting to AI and its buddies has them shaking in their boots. In a nutshell: The project's downfall? Users demanding customization. Instead, imagine if the business capability module floated above a standard ERP like a champ. Savings? A cool 500 million. Users adjusting to standard? Priceless. Lesson learned: When it comes to Industrial Tech, let's go modular, save some zeros, and leave the customization drama for another day. 💼🔄 #IndustrialTech #ModularSolutions #TechFails" https://lnkd.in/grJaGErn

06-05-2024 Daily Work Report Today, I focused on several critical tasks for our operations. For Bol.com, I packaged 16 boxes throughout the day, ensuring each one was securely prepared for shipment. I also packaged three boxes for a client named Justin first thing in the morning. Regarding inventory management, I conducted a thorough stock count in the morning to verify our current levels. This crucial task helps us maintain accurate records and supports smooth operations. I carefully updated our system to reflect the actual stock levels, resolving any discrepancies found during the count. Regarding shipping coordination, I worked closely with the shipping team to oversee today's outgoing shipments. I ensured each package was correctly labelled and documented before dispatching it on time. This attention to detail contributes to our goal of maintaining high customer satisfaction. I'm pleased to report that all packaging tasks were completed on schedule without any delays. The inventory management process went smoothly, with discrepancies resolved promptly. Shipping coordination was also handled efficiently, achieving 100% accuracy in labelling and documentation. Among my achievements today, I packaged 19 boxes, meeting the day's targets. I also identified and resolved inventory discrepancies, ensuring accurate stock levels. Additionally, I maintained a perfect track record for shipment accuracy and timeliness. One challenge we recognized was the need to reorganize product locations on the first floor to create space for new products arriving in two weeks. This reorganization is crucial for maintaining an organized and efficient warehouse environment. For tomorrow, my plans include reorganizing the product locations to accommodate the arrival of two new machines on Friday. I'll also report on the changes made to ensure all team members are informed and can adjust accordingly. Additionally, I suggested purchasing several cans of Coca-Cola Zero for guests and inquired about the possibility of obtaining a refund upon presenting the receipt.
