Problem Statement

Our customer’s storage space has been exhausted due to manually operated store and this impacted their productivity.
Their current storage space is 120 square meters. They need to reduce the storage space of C and D class articles and utilize them for production activity.
Continuous increase in farm equipment product range decreased the picking accuracy.

The Solution

Craftsman installed VStore, a space-saving solution that is also flexible to future storage requirements.
The manually operated store was replaced with two VStore of 8m height occupying 20 square meters each, thus freeing up their valuable floor space.
This transformed the “Man to Goods” method to “Goods to Man”, thus enabling high transparency, quick and reliable access to the articles. As a result, picking errors have been reduced significantly.

Benefits to the customer

The modular Technology of VStore from Craftsman Automation enabled

Faster product delivery
Improved stock control
Minimized pick errors
Efficient order picking
Shorter lead times

Installation Date: Dec-2018
No of Cycles of 1st VStore: More than 300,000 cycles
No of Cycles of 2nd VStore: More than 400,000 cycles
