Case Study DKSH
An Agile Internal Material Flow with Technology for the Medical Device Industry
DKSH Thailand, a prominent growth partner for medical device companies in Asia, was looking to expand its storage capacity within its existing Medical Device Distribution Center (MDDC) in Rama III, Bangkok. With limited space to work on, SSI SCHAEFER successfully re-designed the area with a smart semi-automated solution that optimizes footprint and improves its internal material flow agility.
Scalable Storage and Picking Solution Improves Pick Performance by Over 13%
The SSI LOGIMAT® installed in MDDC is an all-in-one storage and retrieval solution that simplifies the process through the goods-to-person principle. Perfect storage for small and medium-sized goods like surgical contact lenses and other surgical accessories, the SSI LOGIMAT® is equipped with various add-ons such as the LogiDual, which allows DKSH Thailand to achieve an impressive average throughput rate of 300 pieces per hour without compromising on picking accuracy with the help of the LogiPointer. The solution is modular and future-proof and can grow with DKSH Thailand as its business grows.
100% Traceability for Inventory and Order Management
Traceability of medical device goods (SKUs) must be accurately tracked throughout the supply chain as mandated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in Thailand. The aid of SPS EasyConnect allows DKSH Thailand to integrate its existing SAP seamlessly with all the logistics systems used in MDDC, such as the SSI LOGIMAT® and putwall solutions, without relying on a third-party system. The intelligent software is S/4 HANA ready, enables real-time data synchronization, and allows easy control over order inventory and master data in a completely secure infrastructure.
