Multidimensional Stock Units

In order to optimally prepare for the step towards highly autonomous Industry 4.0 processes, food producers need to rethink their approach to stock units. Internal goods logistics processes include not only raw materials and products, but also storage aids, transport containers and packaging objects as well as empties management within the company.

In addition, the increasing individualisation of orders is leading to a trend towards ever smaller transport units. As a result, mixed pallets are increasingly becoming the norm in shipping.

As early as 2018, we extended the proSystem solution framework so that the consistent mapping of multidimensional stock units (containers) is possible without any problems.

This means that products, storage aids, packaging and transport units can be recorded, identified and tracked throughout the entire production process, both in their combination and at individual object level. You are thus optimally prepared: for the Industry 4.0 recognition of stock units via RFID or scanner.
