Transportation

The Transportation solution is responsible for moving materials, pallets, and cartons between areas inside the factory—from Receiving → Storage → Picking → Shipping. It ensures that goods move at the right time, to the right place, and along the most efficient routes, helping reduce damage, increase speed, and save labor.

An internal transportation system must be carefully designed with clear routes and traffic separation for forklifts, conveyors, or robots to avoid conflicts and congestion. Effective transport management synchronizes receiving, storage, picking, and shipping, creating a smooth and coordinated operational flow.

When transportation runs seamlessly, the entire intralogistics chain can operate continuously—reducing costs while increasing production flexibility and overall efficiency.

Challenges

Traffic congestion: When multiple goods are moved simultaneously, conflicts and bottlenecks can easily occur.
High labor costs: Heavy reliance on manual handling and traditional forklifts increases workforce expenses.
Risk of collisions and product damage: Improper handling or overloading during transport can lead to damaged goods.
Limited visibility of shipment status: Without monitoring systems, it is difficult to track goods while they are in transit.
Timing mismatches between zones: Delays in one area (e.g., late arrival to storage) can disrupt picking and downstream operations.

Solutions

ETEK provides smart internal transportation solutions that ensure goods move quickly, along the correct routes, and in sync with production rhythms—reducing congestion and optimizing labor costs.
