取消的贸易展览会，波动的市场，国内外客户约会的限制，联系和旅行禁令，家庭办公室，隔离的员工：在这些动荡的时代，企业家的结论肯定是混合的。总部位于斯图加特（Stuttgart）的ViaStore Group的国际内部系统，软件和服务的国际供应商以满意的方式回顾了2020年。首席执行官菲利普·哈恩·沃尔（Philipp Hahn-Woernle）在12月初举行的年度新闻活动中报道了这一点，该活动实际上是通过现场直播进行的。“在今年年初，我们所有人都可能期望有不同的课程。但是，我们很快就解决了这种情况 - 即使在整个团队在家工作的锁定期间，”他总结道。
Not only because of the strong order intake in 2019, the viastore GROUP is also well positioned for 2021, and the intralogistics expert was able to win many more projects in 2020. With two well-known companies from France and the USA, we even received the largest orders in our company’s history to date,” reports Hahn-Woernle.
This year, an international supplier of passenger transportation systems opened its first “intelligent” spare parts warehouse for the maintenance and repair of elevators in Spain. This will enable the company to significantly improve service for customers in Spain, Portugal and Italy. As a central administration and storage point, the new facility enables elevator operators to have complete availability of all spare parts and optimizes their logistics through Smart Data Services, analysis and processing of real-time data. The use of sophisticated data analysis helps to manage logistics processes in only a third of the time previously required. The automated warehouse was planned and implemented by viastore SYSTEMS. The software used is viadat, an end-to-end solution that integrates all material flows and enables a holistic inventory management. With the digitized spare parts control, the viastore customer has a highly efficient solution to be able to quickly restart elevators when needed. Downtimes are minimized as the spare parts are available around the clock and arrive at the service technician’s premises at exactly the right time. This saves ten percent of the trips between customer and the branch every year, since all the required spare parts are now carried along on the first visit. Customers benefit from the fact that elevators requiring maintenance are back in service 20 percent faster if the precisely fitting replacement parts are now available to the technicians without long ordering and delivery times. The facility in Spain has space for around 10,000 different spare parts. It can handle more than 1,400,000 orders per year, which is an increase of 400 percent compared to the previous system. The project is regarded as a pilot for other international locations in order to significantly reduce the spare parts inventory in currently more than 10,000 smaller warehouses.
另一个例子：泵和阀制造商KSB依靠Viastore的专业知识来实现其在Halle（Saale）的高湾仓库的现代化和扩展，此后从产出增长25％。和：与其战略SAP EWM合作伙伴合作，Prismat，ViaStore作为总承包商计划并在Varta Microbattery计划并实施了自动化的高湾仓库，其股票，工作流和运输由SAP EWM管理和控制。“得益于自动化流程，Varta不仅受益于更多的生产空间，更高的透明度和增加员工的吞吐量增加，而且还可以比以前更早地派遣其商品。”托马斯·希宾格（Thomas Hibinger从今年开始。这位机械工程师自5月以来一直负责销售，实施和服务，并以前在Thyssenkrupp Systems Synersering担任首席运营官。此外，ViaStore还进一步加强了与Stefan Ott担任Stacker Crane Division的新负责人，他自10月以来一直负责Stacker Cranes的开发，设计，生产和集会。
ViaStore软件还可以展示非常特殊的项目：例如，在领先的厨房制造商中，包括生产地点的所有内在流程都由Viadat Warehouse Management System（WMS）管理。”Viadat不仅管理所有仓库，而且还控制着生产中的材料流，并且是确保每天约有950个厨房离开生产线的关键组成部分，” ViaStore Software的首席运营官HaraldGöbel博士总结说。自动化系统的系统解决方案是由ViaStore系统开发的。
该软件今年获得的众多奖项显示了VIATAT的重要性。除其他事项外，一本贸易杂志的读者投票通过了2020年的VIACDAT产品，最近该标准软件被授予“德国制造软件”的批准印章，该批准代表着最高质量和热情的客户。
With the launch of the new product viadatVISION, the company is on schedule. The modern solution for system visualization is being developed in several phases, also together with customers, and is already in use in its first expansion stage: The stand-alone viadatALERT notifies users via push message about incidents in their automated logistics center if it is managed with viadat 9. “In the complete expansion stage, viadatVISION offers a complete view of the warehouse, production and material flows and uses predictive system analysis to reveal bottlenecks”, explains Göbel.
The fact that the company is on the right track with its achievements in the areas of research and development is also confirmed by the Stifterverband für die Deutsche Wissenschaft, which has awarded viastore SOFTWARE with the “Innovative through Research” seal of approval. This means that viastore is one of the companies that excels in research and development.
The company also has news to report from the service division: In addition to hotline support, maintenance and testing, viastore offers its customers spare parts and on-site services as well as comprehensive system monitoring – 365 days a year. “At times like these, the importance of our service performance becomes particularly apparent. We have many customers who were overrun with orders virtually overnight, especially dealers and manufacturers of medical products such as disposable gloves, disinfectants or protective clothing,” explains Michael Bois, Head of Service at viastore. They had to react as quickly as possible in order to cope with the immense order volume and the increased customer requirements. “A manufacturer of disposables and hygiene articles sometimes had to deliver four times what is usual in a normal year. With our service, we enabled him to switch from single-shift to multi-shift operation at short notice,” Bois continues.
This year, in particular, digitization in the company was further advanced. Since March, all appointments that do not require a mandatory presence have been taking place digitally – both internally and externally. And the company’s website also shines in new splendor and is even more modern. It focuses on a better user experience with faster loading times, a simplified menu, more comprehensible content and optimization for mobile devices. Thanks to the intuitive menu navigation, users can find their solutions at the first click and can get in touch with the experts quickly – the best prerequisites in a year in which customer contact will be completely different than before.
