Reúnase con Blue Yonder
Evento
Noatum Logistics needed to swiftly expand and innovate its logistics operations in the UK to capitalize on opportunities presented by the growth of e-commerce in the wake of the pandemic. Its old-fashioned warehouse was operated on a manual paper-based system which was very labor-intensive. There was no warehouse management system and this often led to manual errors.
To meet its growing customer demand, Noatum Logistics built two new state-of-the-art UK warehouses. Blue Yonder partner, ModernLogic, supported the company through the configuration of Blue Yonder Warehouse Management across both operations with seamless integration to the sites’ automation facilities.
A key element of this collaboration was reviewing operational processes to enhance team efficiency. Recognizing the challenges of labor availability and high costs in the UK, the integration of automation became a priority. Conveyors and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) were included in the scope to support staff in their day-to-day tasks, ultimately enabling Noatum Logistics to offer a best-in-class operation for its customers.
ModernLogic configured Blue Yonder Warehouse Management to work seamlessly with conveyors, inline weighing systems, labeling, and printing solutions. The Blue Yonder partner also helped with the implementation of Locus Robotics for put-away and picking operations directly from the conveyors.
The successful launch of both the London Medway and Biggleswade warehouses, fully equipped with advanced technologies, allowed Noatum Logistics to enhance efficiency significantly. The integration of automation and a robust WMS led to improvements in operational capacity handling and reduced dependency on manual labor.
By addressing labor availability challenges through automation, Noatum Logistics was able to support its staff effectively and increase overall productivity. This not only met the accelerated demands of its online customers but also attracted new clients and strengthened existing relationships by offering localized UK distribution and a superior level of service.
By successfully implementing advanced Blue Yonder Warehouse Management solutions and automation technologies, ModernLogic has helped transform Noatum Logistics’ operations to meet the evolving demands of a rapidly changing market.
