By combining DPS with a free conveyor, work efficiency dramatically improves!

Introduction video of the case study.

Combining DPS with free roller conveyors.

Significant improvement in work efficiency with AIOI + conveying system solution!

Background of the implementation

Due to the picking list operation, a huge amount of working time was being spent.

With over 20,000 items in storage, picking operations were carried out based on lists for orders from all customers, resulting in a huge amount of working time.

Inexperienced workers were facing high workloads, and immediate improvements were necessary.

Picking operations required memorizing product knowledge and location information, making the process very complex. Simplification and standardization became a challenge.

There were many similar products, leading to picking errors.

Dealing with stationery items, there were many similar products, and even the same items had different quantities, leading to picking errors.

The deciding factor for implementation

Achieving a significant increase in productivity.

By making consulting proposals utilizing logistics analysis and combining conveyor equipment, it was possible to reduce walking distance, leading to a significant increase in productivity of more than double compared to the conventional working time. Furthermore, the simplification and standardization of work could be achieved, which led to its implementation.

Impact after implementation

Reducing walking distance with the relay-type DPS.

By introducing a relay-type DPS combined with conveyors, the shortest walking distance was achieved, enabling efficient operations. This led to a productivity increase of 15% compared to the conventional method.

The workers' tasks were simplified and standardized.

A simple operation is achieved with the digital picking system. Although the company employs many part-time workers, anyone can quickly and easily perform picking tasks.

Significant reduction in picking errors.

With the introduction of DPS, workers can carry out picking operations without hesitation or confusion, leading to a significant reduction in errors. The error rate has improved to 1/10 of the previous level.
