Case Study: Automated Warehouse Concept for 3PL in Switzerland – Efficiency Boost through Goods-to-Person Solution
For a rapidly growing 3PL in Switzerland, we developed an automated warehouse concept specifically designed for the e-commerce new customer business. The focus was on planning a Goods-to-Person (GTP) solution, supported by a comprehensive material flow analysis and the creation of a detailed requirements specification.
From Analysis to Supplier Selection – How the Project Unfolded
Throughout this project, we followed a structured process that guided the company from the initial analysis to the selection of the appropriate suppliers. Here is the detailed process:
1. Workshop & Requirement Analysis
In a one-day workshop, we evaluated all technical, organizational, and process-related requirements for automating the warehouse.
2. Data Analysis & Material Flow
A detailed material flow analysis served as the foundation for the next steps and enabled informed decisions.
3. Concept Development
We developed three different automation concepts and compared them to identify the most economically and processually optimal solution.
4. Requirements Specification & Supplier Selection
For the preferred solution, we created a comprehensive requirements specification and assisted the client in selecting the right suppliers and gathering offers.
