Medical Device Manufacturer Expands with inconso WMS

MSMD Logistik GmbH, the logistics service provider of the medical device manufacturer medi GmbH & Co. KG, has completed the expansion and optimisation of its central logistics centre in Bayreuth. This included the expansion of existing building sections and integration of a shuttle warehouse with picking and packing areas, a retrofit of existing conveyor components and the seamless integration of all components. The warehouse management system inconsoWMS from the logistics software specialist inconso takes over the superordinate logistic control of the modernised plant.

The go-live of the software components consisted of two stages and included the connection of the new plant that includes a four-aisle shuttle system with 26 levels and six efficient picking locations. “The go-live was a success and MSMD Logistik can now support and secure the long-term growth of the medi Group,” emphasizes Dieter Kramer, Head of Logistics. “Through the implementation of the shuttle warehouse, it was possible to increase the technical system output to 2,800 double cycles per day. This alone is a significant increase in efficiency. In addition, there are picking strategies that increased the performance in this area by a factor of 6.”
