STUTE Logistics AG & Co. KG has chosen to implement the warehouse management system PSIwmsof PSI Logistics GmbH. The multi-site capable and configurable software will first be used to manage the service provider’s new logistics centre in Nuremberg.
In spring 2016, STUTE will assume responsibility for spare parts logistics for a leading manufacturer of building equipment and machinery as operator of the Nuremberg logistics centre and manage the centre using PSIwms Version 3.0. Across an area spanning 10,000 square metres, around 12,000 pallet spaces and some 16,000 special storage spaces will be available for storing parts. PSIwms will be operated from the main computer centre and take care of warehousing, commissioning and order processing at the Nuremberg location.
Besides multi-site capability, which is an important criteria for logistics service providers, proven stability, a wide range of configuration options, industry-wide functionality and defined regulations for process handling and optimisation were key factors for STUTE when it came to PSIwms. The ability to upgrade the system ensures that ongoing software developments are a safe investment and can easily be integrated on the basis of the joint PSI technology platform.
The project is backed by an automated testing module, which enables easy configuration of new test cases, versions and sequences in PSIwms. The system uses these to continuously check all new processes and changes in material flow, which are necessary for integrating new clients or customer requirements. The integrated forklift controls system provides for path-optimised transport and shorter empty runs. The cockpit module, which is also integrated, offers the user continuous visualisation of individual key figures (KPI) and optimum process transparency. PSIwms modules for archiving and photographic records are also used for quality assurance and certification of the logistics service provider STUTE.
Bremen-based STUTE Logistics AG & Co. KG has been fully incorporated in the Kuhne + Nagel Group since 1996. Founded in 1853, the company offers tailor-made transport and contract logistics solutions. With more than 20 warehouse locations, the service provider is one of the leading contract logistics providers in Germany.
