DEWULF YAFUNGUA RASMI KITUO KIPYA CHA LOGISTICS BURE

Dewulf, a full-line supplier of potato and root crop vifaa vya, imezindua rasmi kituo chake kipya cha vifaa (SLC) katika makao makuu yake, huko Roeselare (BE).

Ujenzi wa ghala, na bei ya karibu EUR10m, ni uwekezaji mkubwa wa kifedha wa kampuni hiyo tangu kuanzishwa kwake mnamo 1946.

The grand opening was attended by numerous people. As a result of growth of the company, Dewulf developed the need for a storage facility close to the production halls for its harvesters that meets the most stringent requirements for storage and can support continued growth of the company.

“As a family business, we feel it is important to have a good relationship with our customers and further strengthen that bond in the coming years. Our new logistics centre will play a key role in this,” explains Hendrik Decramer, director of sales, marketing & after-sales at Dewulf.

Jengo hilo ni mfano unaoonekana wa mchakato wa mabadiliko ndani ya kampuni ya utengenezaji wa mashine. "Shukrani kwa ghala letu jipya tunaweza kusaidia wateja wetu na wafanyabiashara kukua zaidi kwa kuwapa hivi karibuni uwasilishaji mzuri wa mashine na sehemu zingine," Decramer anasema.

At Dewulf, the logistics center also creates room for further growth in the production. “Our aim is to ensure that the pace of assembly determines what is picked in the warehouse. The processes in the warehouse are therefore controlled by specialized WMS software,” says Wouter Criel, supply chain manager at Dewulf. This software continuously recalculates which parts are needed based on customer orders and the status of the assembly process and automatically passes that data on to the logistics personnel.

“The required parts can then be delivered ‘just in time’ to our assemblers or be prepared for transport,” he explains. Automatic integration with the courier service’s systems also ensures that all the shipments proceed smoothly on their way to customers and dealers. The machine manufacturer expects the software system to be fully rolled out by the end of this year. Dewulf also refers to the new facility as a ‘smart’ logistics centre and has several reasons for this. In addition to the software that controls all the processes, in the warehouse there is a strong focus on expandability, ergonomics and the environment. For example, the 7,800 m2 building can be expanded both in height and in width.

Decramer anaongeza: "Ili kuondoa vitu vizito kutoka kwa rafu, wafanyikazi wetu wana crane maalum ya gantry. Hii inapunguza sana uwezekano wa majeraha ya mgongo. Ghala lote pia lina joto kali na kumulikwa ili kujenga mazingira ya kufurahisha ya kufanyia kazi. ”

Kwa kuongezea, jengo pia limejengwa kwa umakini kwa mazingira.
