Sequencing for the automotive industry with xPick

The visual representation of the multi-order tasks ensures a quick and intuitive processing. The new solution saves approximately 20% time thanks to the optimized information supply and it reduces the picking or sequencing error rate to almost zero, particularly through the step-by-step guidance along the process. Also, printouts of the unwieldy lists are saved. The employees have both hands free for the actual order picking tasks, which is a clear gain in ergonomics, especially for heavy and chunky parts. Both the removal and storage of parts on the trolley are confirmed RFID-based by the xBand, which ensures error-free results and makes the subsequent labor-intensive quality control now obsolete. A customer IT requirement was to use Windows-based hardware for device management reasons. Thus Android-based data glasses were no longer an option. Here Ubimax Frontline played another advantage to support both Android and Windows-based hardware such as smart glasses, smartwatches and tablets and manage all of them together in one GUI. The option to centralize and host the solution from Germany on stable and secure cloud servers simplifies the administration and enables continuous monitoring. Due to the simplicity of Ubimax’s workflow apps for the tablets, the roll-out at the factory was made easy, so parts of the multi-level go-live including training of local employees were taken over by Schnellecke Logistics.
