New Storage and Logistics Concept at KEIL Anlagenbau

KEIL Anlagenbau creates efficiency not only in production processes of its customers, but also KEIL- “internally “. By means of restructurings in a manufacturing process, storage areas and manufacturing sites have now been separated from each other. The part of the hall that has become available will be used for the end installation during which the functional assembly units such as pump stations are installed and tested mechanically and electrically. This way the end installation staff will be free from noise exposure and dust, caused by the mechanical processing.

The transfer to the new warehouse facility and the hall for cutting to size is a contributing factor regarding quality assurance. The incoming goods inspection for large components as well as pipe and profile material takes place here. Stainless and black steels are separated from each other, cut to size and commissioned at two saws. The semi-finished products are added by means of a new swing crane for each saw. Moreover, the electrical engineers are glad to be able to use a new heavy loading shelf, carrying an assorted cable drum store.

KEIL Anlagenbau is proceeding expeditiously when new material is required digitally. The supervising technicians are equipped with a tablet computer. Unexpected and necessary material can be requested directly by the technician on-site by means of an app, developed especially for this purpose (programmed by the IT trainee, Louis Surmann). The material can be commissioned immediately by the warehouse staff and/or ordered by the purchasing department.

By taking these steps, KEIL Anlagenbau makes sure to follow the guideline of a permanent improvement process. KEIL keeps looking for new ways to improve the product and the service as well as to achieve better results for its customers, business partners, employees and the environment.
