C-parts management
Efficiency throughout the entire supply chain
At KKM, we understand the importance of efficiency in manufacturing processes. That's why we offer C-parts management solutions that can help make your processes leaner in the long term. C-parts such as screws, dowels, nuts, washers and many other similar products or small parts have only a low monetary value. Nevertheless, they are essential for the end product and ongoing production. Unfortunately, C-parts generate high processing and procurement costs as well as administrative expenses that often far exceed their material value. This is where we at KKM come in.
By using the latest Kanban solutions and logistics systems such as dropLOG, moveLOG or parkLOG we ensure that your procurement, storage, and allocation of C-parts in series production and maintenance are optimized – ensuring that the right parts are available when needed and downtime is minimized.
Besides hardware solutions, process flows are an important aspect of an optimal supply chain. That's why experts should examine the potentials to avoid mistakes & find starting points for cost, part, and assembly time-reductions.
This is why we offer Line Walks – a way for our technical experts to inspect your production line and realize savings.
dropLOG
When using dropLOG®, the order placement process is triggered via insertion of an empty container into the RFID box.
Properties
- System based on two-container Kanban principle
- An order is triggered by inserting the empty containers into the RFID box
- Order data transmitted to K&K via GSM
- Identification and testing of the installed transponders
- System application in open warehouses and circulating storage, or directly at the assembly site
- The RFID box offers capacity for over 100 containers
Advantages
- Robustness and simplification in operational use
- Remote maintenance of the system possible
- Visual support for the employee through LED displays
- Container washing and relabelling before each delivery
moveLOG
Order triggering is performed as soon as the empty container is transported through the RFID gate.
Properties
- System based on two-container Kanban principle
- Order placed by passing through the RFID gate with empty containers
- Goods receipt posting of third-party items possible
- Order data transmitted to K&K via GSM
- Identification and testing of the installed transponders
- System application in central warehouses or directly at the assembly site
Advantages
- Space saving through implementation at a central location in the production facility
- Remote maintenance of the system possible
- Visual support for the employee through LED displays
- Container washing and relabeling prior to each delivery
parkLOG
With parkLOG®, the order is triggered by placing the empty container on the RFID mat.
Properties
- System based on two-container Kanban principle
- Order triggering by placing the empty containers on the RFID mat
- Order data transmitted to K&K via GSM
- Identification and testing of the installed transponders
- System application in a supermarket or on the assembly line
Advantages
- Saves space by using the top shelf in the rack
- Remote maintenance of the system possible
- Visual support for the employee through LED displays
- Container washing and relabeling prior to each delivery
What our experts take a close look at:
- Can the C-parts be even better matched to the application?
- Can the product range be standardized?
- Can special parts perhaps be avoided?
- Can more favorable A and B parts be used after a closer look at the connecting parts?
An expert look uncovers enormous savings potential and unearth hidden costs in your production line.
Let's come together to develop the perfect and most efficient solution for your production.
