Published: October 26, 2023
As part of a major site expansion, nord Electronic Drive System, a company within the north group, has implemented a cutting-edge, highly automated logistics solution. At the heart of this transformation is the innovative warehouse robotics system, aerobot, designed to streamline the storage of electronic components crucial for frequency converter production and optimize the supply chain for both circuit board assembly and final product assembly.
A State-of-the-Art Warehouse Infrastructure
The newly constructed warehouse boasts an impressive 29 storage levels, utilizing a four-fold storage configuration to accommodate 25,500 individual storage locations. this capacity is further enhanced by the integration of six dedicated picking stations and two goods input workstations, all seamlessly connected via a sophisticated conveyor system.
The entire system is intelligently managed by KISOFT ONE, a leading logistics software solution from Knapp, and features a direct interface with North’s SAP EWM system, ensuring real-time data synchronization and optimized inventory control.
Designed for Future growth
Recognizing the importance of adaptability, the logistics solution is designed with modularity in mind. This allows for seamless expansion in future phases, incorporating autonomous mobile robots – open shuttles – to further enhance efficiency and responsiveness.
Safety is paramount. Fire protection protocols have been meticulously integrated into the system’s design, covering both internal and external routes, particularly as the warehouse operates within an oxygen-reduced environment.
Doubling Production Capacity
The expansion of production and logistics areas from 7,500 square meters to 20,000 square meters, coupled with the implementation of this advanced automation solution, will ultimately double Nord’s production capacity to an impressive 400,000 frequency converters annually.
A Strong Partnership with Knapp
Nord has been a valued partner, utilizing our drive technology in Knapp warehouse systems for years. This collaborative relationship extends to Nord’s own operations, where a highly dynamic shuttle bearing system from Knapp has been in use at their Bargteheide location since 2021.
