[Case Study] Sanko Industry Co., Ltd. Higashi-Osaka Logistics Center

Automating the bundling process of picked products on each floor! Achieving approximately four times the efficiency increase.

We would like to introduce a case study of the logistics system implemented at Sanko Industry Co., Ltd. in the Higashi-Osaka Logistics Center. At the company, even after picking was completed on each floor, containers could not be transported to the consolidation floor, leading to a backlog of waiting containers on each floor. To address this, a rotary rack that performs temporary storage and sequential outbound shipping with a single unit was introduced, automating the complex consolidation process and eliminating the bottleneck. 【Case Overview】 ■ Issues - Containers could not be transported to the consolidation floor even after picking was completed. - Backlogs of waiting containers occurred on each floor. ■ Results - Productivity increased by up to four times. - Even with a 20% increase in order volume, the completion time for work was one hour earlier. *The information in this article is based on data available at the time of the interview. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
