Online and mega optical labs promise rapid delivery, driving a new standard in the mature and active market.π« Take the example of VSP Optics. β€΅οΈ Daifuku Wynright logistics engineers designed a postponing, work-in-process strategy, in which items are stored and retrieved automatically until they are needed for various stages of the production process. The benefits are outstanding. Our automation solution enabled the team to start work on a pair of glasses as much as 24 hours earlier than in the past, reduced the delivery time of a finished pair of glasses enabling customers to receive them 33% quicker. β‘οΈ

CP Foods has been expanding its business in seventeen countries and regions. β‘οΈ To optimize the company's entire supply chain, CP Foods new distribution center achieved high-density storage by introducing a 21 m high AS/RS. In addition to storage capacity increasing five-fold, inventory management, first-in-first-out, and product freshness are consistent throughout the facility. The AS/RS is partitioned into two areas, the frozen area (β25β / 13Β° F) and the chilled area. The AS/RS has eight cranes and 10,700 pallet locations in total and is connected with the loop-type (10 units) and dual-type STV. Upon retrieval from the AS/RS, case shipping items are transported by the loop-type rail-guided sort transfer vehicle (STV) to the picking station and picked by case. Small order items are transported by the dual-type STV, picked by case, and then fed into the Put-to-Light system "DAS" for piece picking. The outcome? π‘ The new distribution center significantly improves work efficiency and labor-saving. As CP Foods' largest distribution center, it now ships up to 12,000 cases per day

What do you think this is? π€ It looks like a zipper but it is actually called Belt Lacing! Belt Lacing is how two ends of the belt on a conveyor are connected. Our Installation service team recently partnered with Flexco to provide onsite Belt Lacing Training to our Site Managers and on-site Quality teams. Another example of how Daifuku pays attention to the details for our customers. Thanks to all our participants, particularly Lucas Palshan, Larry Banks, Joshua Johnston, and Donald S.π

We had our Installation Summit earlier this month. A team from Japan came to visit our Hobart plant and our Harbor Freight project. The idea was to compare Daifuku Japan and Daifuku Wynright's strategies regarding our Installation Sales Estimating, Installation Execution Planning, Quality Control, Site Safety, Training, Development, and Project Status Management. The goal is to work and collaborate together to help identify the best tools and methods to integrate best practices towards a more standard approach.
