Careers
Forgings manufacturer Unior, advised by technology company Špica, will digitalise two of its logistics centres in Zreče (Slovenia) with Mecalux’s warehouse management system. One facility stores finished goods, while the other stores forging tools.
“As automotive suppliers, traceability, diverse client packaging and product labelling are critical for us. Easy WMS will help us organise operations and optimise our entire supply chain,” says Boštjan Črešnar, Material and Production Planning Manager at Unior.
The new logistics software will integrate with Unior’s Oracle EBS ERP system to boost productivity and eliminate errors in both facilities. In the finished goods warehouse, Easy WMS will oversee all operations, from the receipt of manufactured items through to their storage and shipment. “Most of our clients have specific labelling requirements. Mecalux’s system will automatically generate labels in compliance with VDA and Odette standards for the automotive industry,” says Črešnar.
In Unior’s warehouse, Easy WMS will be primarily tasked with organising goods strategically for easy retrieval and timely delivery to production when required. “The system will track product status and location in real time,” says Črešnar.
