Insights: Voices from the management
“For over 25 years, we have been inspiring our customers every day with customised solutions for efficient C-Parts Management. Each and every one of our 1,800 employees is required to participate proactively. After all, we value innovation and curiosity immensely”
Stefan Reuss, General Manager – IT and Digital Solutions at Würth Industrie Service
Securing the future with smart solutions
Smart solutions are designed hand in hand with one’s own customers as well as with partners from science, trade and industry. A dedicated Digital Business Development & Innovations department – with active participation of more than 1,800 employees – deals with future-oriented trends for targeted management and coordination of innovation projects and strategic collaboration with start-ups. The innovation strength of Würth Industrie Service is visible in its supply systems, which promise a high level of automation. Along with the battery-operated iPLACER®, which uses RFID technology not only for the ordering process, but also for inventory management, the digital rack label iDISPLAY, which displays all the information related to items, filling quantity, availability, storage location and upcoming replenishments directly at the point of use, also ensures maximum productivity. In combination with the newly developed iTERMINAL as the central digital point of interaction, the Kanban rack can be fully digitalised and the picking and searching processes can be optimised to the maximum. An almost independent, logistical warehouse management for C-Parts is possible with iSCALE, a sensor-controlled scale that is directly connected to the Kanban bin and notifies the requirements of production materials and other small parts based on weight. The company has been consistently focussing on progress for over 10 years in the field of production-related MRO materials with its intelligent ORSY®mat vending machines. For example, the ORSY®mat WGT detects the withdrawal of items through its integrated weighing cells. Currently, more than 20,000 customers are already using over 1,800 vending machines, more than 15,500 RFID solutions and more than two million Kanban bins.
The state-of-the-art Würth Industrial Park. With certainty and reliance.
The C-Parts partner is also continuously increasing its level of automation and digitalisation at the heart of the Würth Industrial Park, one of the most modern logistics centres for industrial supply in Europe. Modern, fully automated high-bay and shuttle warehouses with a capacity of more than 700,000 storage spaces, 34 kilometres of conveyor technology, professional camera inspection systems, autonomous transport systems and self-learning robots are used and everything is controlled by state-of-the-art IT systems in synergy with over 480 employees in logistics. The focus is on maximum availability of goods and reliable capacity to deliver to more than 20,000 European customers.
