Optimizing Manufacturing Logistics with Automated Intralogistics Solutions

In modern manufacturing, optimizing internal material flow (intralogistics) not only improves operational efficiency but also plays a vital role in a company’s sustainable development strategy. As the demand for production line expansion, higher throughput, and reduced manual errors continues to grow, automated manufacturing logistics solutions have become an inevitable trend.

Challenges in Manufacturing Logistics

Many manufacturing plants today face significant challenges in coordinating and managing internal material flows:

• Fragmented and uncoordinated material flow between production stages.
• Traditional warehouse systems lacking the flexibility to handle diverse products and high throughput.
• Insufficient integration between management software and physical equipment, leading to delays and data inconsistencies.
• Manual errors, losses, or mix-ups during picking and material supply.
• Suboptimal working conditions, negatively impacting worker health and operational efficiency.

These issues require a comprehensive and integrated solution—not just partial improvements, but a full modernization of the intralogistics chain from inbound to the production area.

Automated Intralogistics Solutions

Interroll has enhanced Viastore’s solutions with advanced conveyor technology designed for totes and plastic containers. By combining the expertise of Viastore and Interroll, the solution delivers:

• Smart conveyor system integration: Deployment of roller conveyors, chain conveyors, and transfer conveyors to transport containers, plastic boxes, and components quickly, reliably, and safely.
• Automated storage processes: Through Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (AS/RS) integrated with central control software, inbound and outbound operations become seamless—reducing search time, eliminating errors, and optimizing storage space.
• Intelligent Pick & Convey: Automated order-picking solutions accelerate order processing and ensure accurate material distribution to each production stage.
• Synchronized control software: The entire system is operated via intuitive software, enabling real-time monitoring, route optimization, and automatic handling of minor disruptions without manual intervention.

Value Delivered to Businesses

Investing in automated intralogistics solutions brings significant benefits:

• Optimized internal material flow: Materials move smoothly from receiving areas to production without interruptions.
• Reduced operational errors: Automation eliminates human errors, especially in critical processes such as sorting and material supply.
• Higher speed and productivity: Transport, storage, picking, and production handover processes are significantly shortened, improving order fulfillment capability.
• Greater flexibility: Systems can be easily expanded or reconfigured to support future factory growth.
• Improved working environment: Ergonomic design reduces physical strain, enhancing operator satisfaction and performance.
