The Client
Dematic is a global leader in logistics automation technology, software, and services, developing advanced intralogistics solutions. It is one of the world's leading automation service providers, part of the
KION Group. For the past seven years, Indeform and Dematic specialists have worked together to develop and enhance the
Dematic Concepting Engine (DCE) warehouse management system for the logistics industry. Indeform's dedicated team and Dematic's specialists have constant and ongoing communication, ensuring that the system can be improved and optimized to meet the dynamic needs of the logistics industry and the challenges it faces.
The Problem
The main challenge faced by Dematic was effectively assessing and forecasting the need for warehouse capacity. This requires a careful and consistent analysis of a wide range of variables, including current and forecast inventories, potential market growth, upcoming retail developments, and changing distribution needs. Dematic had two main goals: to decrease the time needed to perform calculations and to expedite the forecasting process. Additionally, the American company aimed to present intricate data in an easily comprehensible format for their customers.
The Solution
Indeform Technologies' dedicated team, together with Dematic specialists, developed a sophisticated tool to simplify the process of forecasting warehouse capacity. The
DCE warehouse management system is designed to automate the collection of big data, model possible scenarios, and provide insights into future warehouse needs based on dynamic market conditions.
The system uses
advanced analytics and modeling to optimize warehouse capacity planning, forecast future needs and analyze commodity flows. The algorithms utilized for data analysis can process terabytes of information, and algorithms used to process large amounts of data are comparable to those used by NASA for analyzing galaxy clusters and stars.
To ensure the clarity of data and warehouse processes,
intuitive visualization tools have been developed and implemented to provide a user-friendly format for presenting complex data. From visualizing data flows to modeling process flow, stakeholders can easily grasp the subtleties of the proposed warehouse set-up. The developed technology solution offers a holistic approach to warehouse capacity forecasting, enabling companies to make informed decisions in an ever-changing business environment.
