…said Ronny Bernstein, CEO of BMG. “Often, the extended delivery time is linked to the customer’s ordering process, as the administrative procedures frequently take too long, when BMF ships the spare parts on the same date.” “Via Digital Source, the component can be printed on-site the moment a failure or wear is detected,” he said. “Above all is uptime for our customers. The machine must run, and the customer must be able to continue producing.” “Now, the majority of advanced composite parts are printed directly at the customer location, which not only brings down the time it takes to receive…

Picking and packing deliveries takes an average of four to eight hours of fulfillment operations. Best-in-class retailers are doing it in just two hours. The difference between those time frames is staggering. Even more so when you consider that almost half of your consumers will shop elsewhere when delivery times are too long. As a critical factor in the speed equation, picking improvements can help retailers leap from average to top performers. By combining automation and orchestration, companies have transformed their current picking practices into efficient processes that enable higher speed and accuracy. The gains are also prominent in improving…

…agility and responsiveness to increasing customer expectations for faster deliveries and changing business and supply chain conditions. Two types of AMRs are most frequently deployed in distribution or fulfillment operations: Goods-to-Person and Person-to-Goods. Although they may seem similar at first, the productivity and efficiency gains are very different. Goods-to-Person AMRs bring items to associates or robotic picking arms for order fulfillment, eliminating walk and search time. Conversely, Person-to-Goods AMRs support associates as they travel through the aisles, picking needed items like a shopper in the grocery store. This whitepaper compares the two styles to help operations determine which type works…
