[Case Study] Royal Corporation, Nagata General Center

The introduction of an automated warehouse has increased inventory levels by 20%! Work efficiency and shipping quality have improved.

We would like to introduce a case study of the logistics system implemented at Royal Co., Ltd. Nagata General Center. Previously, inventory was stored on flat shelves and directly on mesh pallets, but as the center became cramped, inefficient operations were conducted, such as storing inventory in nearby warehouses. After implementation, automation of inbound and outbound operations through an automated warehouse and the transportation of shipping containers via conveyor lines improved work efficiency through relay-style picking. 【Case Overview】 ■ Issues - The center became cramped due to an increase in the number of handled items and inventory volume. - Picking was done by moving a cart from shelf to shelf while referring to the outbound work list. ■ Results - A 20% increase in inventory holding (volume ratio). - Quick and error-free picking is possible even without item knowledge. - Increased work speed and improved shipping quality. *The information in this article is based on data at the time of the interview. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
