Interview with Roberto Bolognesi

Company and warehouse logistics

Argo Tractors is a reality that brings together under one name three historical brands in the world of tractors: Landini, McCormick e Valpadana.

Choosing Replica Sistemi was a gamble, because in 1998 it was in its beginning in the field of warehouse logistics. However, it showed that it believed in it by hiring qualified and very professional people.

Today in the various plants there are a hundred terminals and a lot of PCs connected to StockSystem because all tracking, material handling and warehouse logistics are entirely managed by the software.

NEEDS

In 1998 the management of Argo Tractors Spa decided to improve some aspects of the logistics process to improve the organization and management of all warehouse logistics flows related to the three production plants.

The goals of the project:

computerize a paper and manual flow;
Reducing the supply time of materials on the line;
reduction of errors in the use of materials on the line;
increased level of customer service;
unification of logistics systems in the 3 production plants.

SOLUTIONS

After careful evaluation, Argo Tractors decided to implement Replica Sistemi's StockSystem solution in the standard version, with RF terminals to optimize goods entry, storage, picking and control operations.

The execution of operations in the warehouse is then entrusted to the RF system, which enables real-time transmission of data to the warehouse management system. Logistics operators work efficiently using RF (Radio Frequency) terminals interfaced with remote Access Point repeaters.

The Project consisted of three important elements:

In the production context StockSystem manages warehouse logistics and controls:

Supplier Reception
Sorting in unloading areas
Sorting in the Testing area
Loading into warehouse locations

Calls from the assembly line
Pickup from warehouse locations
Feeding assembly line
Reporting missing from warehouse locations

The use of StockSystem has led to a reorganization of warehouse logistics and optimization of space, a reorganization and reallocation of activities, allowing greater specialization of operators in each of the operational areas, as well as the precise definition of individual tasks with the possibility of checks and redistribution of tasks if loads are not evenly distributed.

Goods entry area

Receipts recorded in real time
Full labeling of goods received
Traceability of goods received
Material quantity verification
Automatic testing of materials when scheduled

Stocking

Definition of fixed areas by material type
Definition of variable or fixed locations
Automatic guided system storage
Automatic definition of suitable medium for stock type

Picks

Automatic generation of pick lists
Breakdown of lists by area and operator
Optimized picking by material route and urgency
Automatic dispatch of missions to operators
Division of workloads
