The leader in energy and automation technologies chooses Eximia to digitalize procurement and storage activities, up to distribution.
We automated the goods receipt/shipping processes at ABB’s Frosinone and Santa Palomba (RM) plants. At the customer’s request, we then integrated new functionalities for pallet management.
Customer needs
- Eliminate errors in shipping packages, verify pallets and shippers
- Eliminate errors in delivery notes
- Manage the flow of shipping and receiving empties
- Digitize the management process of containers and pallets from/to suppliers and subcontractors
- Align logistics flows with SAP management software
The approach
Eximia developed a comprehensive RFID solution that helped warehouse managers manage operations efficiently.
We supplied and installed the RFID hardware components: from ePortal gates to printers. Our experts connected the Eximia platform with the SAP ERP software in a bidirectional model: the ERP communicates the Handling Unit data to be included in the RFID tag and the shipment details; our platform sends the information related to the passage of the goods through the gate to validate the shipments and allow the printing of the bills. Not only that, our mobile APP integrates the functions of the RFID gate making the work easier and more accurate.
Finally, we’ve added new functionality for container and pallet management using industrial RFID tags to identify assets throughout their lifecycle.
