Intralogistics

Transparent workflows between assembly and logistics – fully controlled by ELAM

With ELAM Intralogistics Keep track of material movements across the entire shop floor – from demand planning to the assembly workstation. Orders, inventory, and replenishment converge in one system, allowing your teams to focus on value creation instead of searching for materials. This way, you avoid supply bottlenecks, minimize coordination efforts, and create a stable foundation for reliable production.

THE MATERIAL LOOP WITH ELAM

With ELAM Intralogistics, you control material flows digitally, transparently, and error-free – from the ERP system to assembly.
1. Set up Workstation
ELAM digitally links workstations, components, and storage locations. Pick-to-light systems ensure error-free processes, and shelves can be stocked manually or automatically.
2. Start Assembly
Orders from the ERP are automatically transferred to ELAM. The system displays required material, records consumption, and ensures continuous feedback.
3. Request Components
If stock falls, ELAM automatically requests replenishment or allows manual requests via the PTL button. This ensures that supply remains transparent and demand-driven at all times.
4. Material Replenishment & Provision
ELAM controls the entire material replenishment – from the central warehouse to the line. Put-to-light systems ensure error-free provision and digitally close the material loop.

Growing trust - leading companies rely on ELAM

MATERIAL PROBLEMS IN ASSEMBLY

From missing replenishment to excess stock: ELAM creates transparency, stability, and security.
Reliable material supply is the foundation for stable assembly processes. In practice, however, delayed replenishment, unclear routes, or incorrect provision quickly lead to downtimes, hectic situations, and quality risks. The following overview shows the most common problems and their consequences – and how ELAM sustainably prevents them through digital, guided processes.

Replenishment arrives too late

ELAM Intralogistics controls replenishment right to the workstation, automatically triggers demands from ERP and assembly, and thus prevents downtimes, waiting times, and delivery delays in assembly.

Too much material on hand

ELAM plans based on consumption and demand, uses actual consumption for replenishment, and thus reduces excess stock, tied-up capital, and unnecessary storage and inventory costs in the plant.

Unclear routes and storage locations

ELAM makes storage locations and transport routes digitally visible, tracks every booking from source to station, and thus reduces search times, unplanned stops, and expensive rush orders in daily operations.

Incorrect or defective parts

ELAM manages provision with pick-to-light and part assignment, provides the correct materials, and thus avoids quality problems, rework, scrap, and complaint processes in assembly.

Faulty demand planning

ELAM closes the control loop between ERP and the shop floor, transfers orders, and reports actual consumption – for reliable demand planning without overstocking, shortages, and ad-hoc actions in production.

Poor communication

ELAM creates a common real-time platform for assembly and logistics, bundles requirements, status, and feedback, thus preventing misunderstandings, incorrect provisions, and clarification loops within the team.

Material flow without IT support

ELAM digitizes material and information flow end-to-end, replaces Excel lists and paper notes with guided processes, and reduces manual effort, media discontinuities, and duplicate work in intralogistics.

Error-prone personnel processes

ELAM guides employees step-by-step through material processes, visually or automatically confirms actions, and thus reduces operating errors, training times, and quality-relevant deviations.

CASE STUDY
Standardized Picking Despite Diverse Data Sources

For a manufacturer of agricultural machinery, order picking had to process components from various data sources – a complex and costly process. ELAM created an intelligent data intermediate layer that provides consistent data sets for guided picking. Depending on the plant and workstation, picking is now done using pick-to-light, handhelds, or mobile tablets. The result: faster processes, significantly reduced complexity, and such compelling benefits that the solution was rolled out to additional plants.
