Fit for the future

IO-Consultants developed a new concept for the central warehouse in Furtwangen for S. Siedle & Söhne and integrated the material flow control and the new processes into the existing SAP WM world. The consulting firm developed a comprehensive modernization concept for Siedle and subsequently guided the company through the implementation phase. The conversion work and the installation of AutoStore were carried out during ongoing operations.

The ramp-up began in May 2020 and final acceptance took place at the end of July 2020. S. Siedle & Söhne is a seventh-generation Black Forest family business that manufactures building communication technology. In 2018, Siedle decided to modernize its warehouse processes and technology. The existing small parts warehouse with its storage and retrieval machines (SRMs) had reached its limits, particularly when production was to be switched to order-related provision.

After commissioning IO-Consultants with their logistics and IT specialists, the first step was to carry out a fundamental analysis of all data and processes. After weighing up all the important parameters for Siedle, the decision was made in favor of an integrated pick & pack concept based on an AutoStore system as the successor to the outdated small parts warehouse.

In May 2020, the new AutoStore warehouse was put into operation during ongoing operations and the material flow control and all logistical and organizational processes were converted. IO-Consultants specializes in taking a holistic view of all processes.
