Since June 2019, all workshops in KAMAG Transporttechnik’s nationwide service network have been supplied with spare parts from R\u00f6thlein in Lower Franconia. Located in the centre of Germany, the site offers the best conditions for spare parts logistics with short distances. Further capacities are available in the current 11,000 square metre logistics centre of R\u00f6thlein Logistik, so that KAMAG’s growth plans can also be taken into account: The site allows for an extension of a further 10,000 square metres.<\/p>\n
R\u00f6thlein Logistik GmbH also scores with its experience. The collaboration began with a visit to a logistics site of the joint venture partner Sch\u00e4flein, which serves the production supply of a mechanical engineering company. “We were impressed by the type of technology used in the warehouse and the professionalism and expertise of the employees on site,” says Logistics Manager Andreas M\u00fcller.<\/p>\n
Every part has its place<\/strong><\/p>\n R\u00f6thlein Logistik’s warehouse is also state of the art. An automated small parts warehouse with space for 18,000 containers and three storage and retrieval machines is available for the smaller spare parts. According to the goods-to-man principle, the containers are transported via conveyor lines to six picking stations with pick-by-light systems. A multishuttle with space for 4,500 containers serves as a buffer for orders, which are temporarily stored there until dispatch and, if necessary, supplemented with further items during the course of the day. A shelving racking system, a pallet high-bay racking system, a honeycomb racking system, a disc racking system, a cantilever racking system, a cable drum racking system and a cut-to-length racking system complete the product-specific warehouse structure. The range of items extends from the nine-gram cylinder screw to the 233-kilo hydraulic tank. Each Wiesel spare part is accommodated in the appropriate storage mould and is picked to order.<\/p>\n KAMAG benefits in particular from R\u00f6thlein Logistik’s experience in the professional storage and packaging of discs. The supplier delivers the windscreens for the new Wiesel cab to the logistics centre in wooden racks of five pieces each. The logistics company developed suitable individual packaging especially for the safe dispatch of the 63 kilogramme, 2.4 by 1.35 metre cabin section.<\/p>\n Twelve combined workstations for incoming and outgoing goods, nine mobile workstations and staggered working hours with two or more blocks as required ensure the necessary flexibility. Thanks to an emergency service, the logistics centre is available around the clock – 365 days a year. “The spare parts market demands short order throughput times. We fulfil this requirement with R\u00f6thlein Logistics,” says Michael Zeller, Team Leader Spare Parts Sales at KAMAG. Even in standard dispatch, every spare part ordered by 4 p.m. is with the customer by 7 a.m. the following day. But it can be even quicker. The logistics company promises that every order will be ready for dispatch within 60 minutes at the latest – and overnight express delivery is available on request. “We benefit from the very fast access times of R\u00f6thlein Logistik. This can also be measured by the increase in customer satisfaction. Our new logistics partner has so far been able to cope with every order peak in phases that require an increased dispatch rate. We feel that we are in very good hands and look forward to continuing to grow together,” says Zeller.<\/p>\n Performance is constantly monitored and optimised in the warehouse control centre, the heart of the logistics centre<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Fast, manoeuvrable, agile – the Wiesel logistics transporter from KAMAG Transporttechnik GmbH und Co.
