Robots in the warehouse for small parts and consumables and DigitStore storage system

Save material

Many automotive workshops and body and paint stores are looking for ways to organize the consumption of small parts and consumables intelligently and economically.

SEHON DigitStore IDS 44-1
Who hasn’t experienced this? The costs and demand for small parts and consumables are constantly rising. The reasons for this are a lack of transparency and control over stock levels and the internal flow of goods: How many of these materials are consumed, at what point in the business? Are they issued on call or controlled? Is there a central warehouse? DIGITSTORE from Sehon is an automated digital storage system for workshops, body stores and paint stores to manage small parts and consumables in a controlled and thus cost and demand-oriented manner. With DIGITSTORE from Sehon, material consumption can be reduced by up to 50%. This is achieved primarily through individual access authorizations for employees when removing consumables and small parts. Every withdrawal is recorded and assigned. The result is complete transparency and control of stock levels and material flows. The ordering and purchasing process can be fully automated. Another advantage of DigitStore is that the required parts are available around the clock, regardless of the working hours of the employees in the warehouse. The compartments of the DigitStore dispensing units can be completely customized so that almost all sizes and shapes of consumables and small parts can be stored and dispensed securely in line with operational requirements. The technology has been used successfully in industrial companies for several years. For Sehon, the DIGITSTORE is another innovative product to make companies even more efficient and effective.

 

Material access 24/7

The DigitStore enables access to the warehouse 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, i.e. around the clock.
Operation is no longer dependent on whether or not staff are available in the warehouse to issue materials, i.e. operation is independent of the warehouse staff’s working hours.
The round-the-clock availability of the warehouse is particularly advantageous if work is carried out in single or multiple shifts or at weekends and on public holidays, and regulated material access must be guaranteed.

Controllable warehouse

Many warehouses, mainly for small parts and consumables, are open warehouses that can be accessed by practically anyone in the company.
A concrete evaluation of who has removed how much material for what purpose is not possible, or only very imprecisely, in the case of open warehouses.
Access to the stock in the DigitStore is only possible with individual access authorizations.
Personalized access authorizations enable detailed documentation of stock levels and material flows, which is particularly important for management, cost accounting and purchasing.

Reduce material consumption by up to 50

Companies that work with the DigitStore storage system see a reduction in material consumption of up to 50% compared to an open warehouse.
The main reason for this is that the DigitStore enables fully automated, controlled material removal because, among other things, the output quantities per employee can be determined.

Immediate reporting

Behind every DigitStore is professional warehouse software, so that a wide range of evaluations for management, purchasing, warehouse, accounting and controlling are available in real time.
This also includes automatically generated orders for purchasing.

Simplified procurement process

DigitStore enables permanent access to current stock levels and triggers automated notifications to the relevant departments or employees.

Time saving

DigitStore reduces the time and organizational effort for material procurement, management and removal to a minimum.

No misspending

Employees can only remove material from the store for which they are authorized to do so.

Software application

Behind the system is state-of-the-art integrated software for warehouse management and control, which can be used via a web browser from any web-enabled device.
This guarantees simple data management and fast communication between the server and DigitStore.

Flexible configuration of the storage compartments

The capacity and goods issue of the DigitStore can be adapted to operational requirements at any time. This is important if various small parts or certain consumables are no longer required, the supplier is changed or the existing material is to be replaced by other products.
