Success Stories

Increased Efficiency and Visibility with Smart Factory Logistics

Stolz is a family-owned company founded in France in 1952. They design, manufacture, and install equipment for the food industry. We helped them consolidate suppliers and optimize their warehouse management.

The Challenge: Lack of Visibility and Too Many Suppliers

Stolz deals with various different suppliers for around 2'000 items. At the time, one supplier delivered directly to three Kanban systems located in the warehouse and production. The other suppliers delivered to the main warehouse with an order or a good receiving. Thus, the warehouse team delivered most of the components from the main warehouse to the production site with production orders. The main challenges for Stolz were:

No visibility of the stock in production
If a part was missing in production, the user walked from production to the warehouse desk
Need for space to increase the production line
Too many different suppliers

Installation of 2,500 SmartBin scales: 1,000 in the warehouse and 1,500 in the production lines
