Automotive supplier industry:

Safe, efficient, damage-free

High transport volume, tight timeframes, complex routing – the supply industry faces significant logistical challenges. Our customer relies on safe and reliable door solutions in their new building, while intelligent mirrors ease tight spots in older buildings. Smart projectors provide targeted warnings to employees about approaching vehicles – only when necessary. This ensures processes remain efficient, safe, and damage-free.

Case Intro Teaser Item

Challenges:

  • High transport volume due to constant material flow between warehouses, production, and shipping with frequent door passages
  • Cost trap from door damage: High repair and maintenance costs due to collisions involving different forklift models
  • Tight timeframes require precise and uninterrupted processes
  • Complex routing in older buildings increases the risk of accidents
  • Unclear bottlenecks make it difficult to navigate forklifts safely
  • Increased risk of collisions between vehicles and employees
  • Overload of warning signals can lead to alarm fatigue
  • Productivity losses due to delays or safety incidents

Fleet: Linde E35 und Linde E30 Li-ION, along with additional trucks from other manufacturers.

Solution:

  • Linde Door Control: Communicates simultaneously with forklifts and doors, ensuring automated openings and smooth coordination for faster material flow and reduced waiting times.
  • Intelligent Mirrors: On-demand warnings and speed reduction for vehicles in danger zones, reduced collisions
  • Intelligent Projectors: On-demand warnings at crossings alert pedestrians to approaching vehicles, preventing alarm fatigue
  • Safety Consulting: Linde Material Handling and comnovo were involved in the safety consultation during the planning phase of the new building.

Results:

  • No door damage since the installation of Linde Door Control.
  • Fewer dangerous incidents in mixed fleet operations: Reduction of accidents at crossings.
  • Increased sense of safety: Employees feel safer at pedestrian crossings and door areas.
  • Reduced downtime: Improved safety and efficiency have led to fewer operational disruptions, resulting in higher productivity.
  • Safer, more efficient process: Operations are now smoother and safer.
