Würth Industrie Service awarded the LOGISTRA best practice: innovations 2022 award for its scale system iSCALE

Würth Industrie Service GmbH Co. KG was awarded the LOGISTRA best practice: Innovations 2022 award for its Kanban scale system iSCALE. In the readers’ poll conducted by this logistics specialist magazine of HUSS group of companies, the company emerged as a winner in the category of storing/picking.

“The polling results of the LOGISTRA best practice: innovations 2022 readers’ choice award clearly show: Digitalisation, connection and sustainability are decisive factors for logistics providers. The candidates succeeded in offering exemplary practical and future-proof solutions in transport and intralogistics. The entire LOGISTRA team congratulates the winners on this outstanding success,” said Tobias Schweikl, Editor-in-Chief of LOGISTRA. The specialist magazine LOGISTRA, a practice-oriented magazine for commercial vehicle fleets and warehouse logistics, presents its readers every two years with 24 innovative products and solutions in eight categories to cast vote. What the editorial team found particularly worth mentioning was that the candidates stood out in their day-to-day work over the past weeks and months. Apart from innovation, practicality was also important for the decision: All products and solutions are expected to be on the market now or in the foreseeable future.

Innovation and progress are the principles firmly embedded in the company strategy of Würth Industrie Service. The company is one of the largest employers in the Main-Tauber region and specialises in automated procurement and logistics solutions as well as holistic supply solutions for production materials and auxiliary and operating materials. Automation, digitalisation and Industry 4.0 have always been the focus while developing these innovative solutions further for industrial production, maintenance and repairs.

The scale system iScale – Extraordinarily smart
C-Parts such as fasteners and fastening technology have a low value, but involve disproportionately high procurement and process costs. As a result, the potential for savings lies in optimising these processes. The iSCALE system makes a decisive contribution to this and takes over the logistical storage management of C-Parts almost independently. iSCALE is a sensor-controlled scale, which is directly connected with the Kanban bin and is independently movable. It is extraordinarily smart in a way that on the basis of the weight, the system notifies the requirements of small parts digitally – directly from the customer’s point of use to the ERP system of Würth Industrie Service. This ensures automatic replenishment at different areas of demand and places of use: in the central railway station, in the traditional Kanban material storage, to the line or directly to the individual workstations as well as assembly workstations.

A fully-automated logistical stock management replaces the cumbersome stock-takings, re-orders and interim storage at the customer’s location in the industry. As the inventory is continuously audited, any fluctuations and peaks can be identified in time, and thus the supply security can be maximised. iSCALE is particularly suitable for manufacturing companies that have irregular requirements of direct materials. In addition to that, process is economised significantly by reducing the tied-up capital, since high inventory levels can be reduced at customer’s location, and thereby, areas for storage spaces.
