What are the considerations for automating? ​

What can automating your warehouse or logistic processes in your production environment do for you? When is a warehouse due for automation and robotisation? Even if a warehouse is functioning well, there may still be various reasons to move towards a high degree of automation.

There are plenty of other forms of automation, but when weighing up the pros and cons, it makes sense to work out which improvements are feasible even without automation. Often a major improvement can already be achieved with a different configuration, storage methodology or internal means of transport. So when surveying your requirements, don't go looking for a system but always stay focused on improving processes.
If all kinds of bottlenecks are identified in the processes, automation may offer a solution.
​
Automation can already be applied on a small scale, but if so it will often yield correspondingly small benefits. Large-scale automation sometimes required a bigger investment, but it can yield all kinds of attractive strategic advantages and bigger returns.

3 fases naar automatisering​

Fase 1
​digitisation

The starting point for automation is digitisation. Forget paper documents and handwritten lists and start using barcodes, scanners and digitised stock management, for example with Sapphire software
​

Fase 2
​mechanisation

Mechanisation removes unnecessary or labour-intensive actions from the processes. View our concepts in order to see what mechanisation can do for you and which solution would be suitable for you.​
