Asset Footprint
Implementation Engineers designs and configures efficient manufacturing, warehouse and distribution center layouts for clients. We work with clients to tailor solutions to each unique circumstance and objective to optimize current state footprint, and to develop and implement future state strategies. Most commonly, our clients are looking for material movement optimization and more efficient utilization of space. More recently, automation is also impacting footprint considerations for these settings, requiring forward-thinking strategies that integrate new technology and racking systems that get the most out of existing locations and available vertical space. A typical output of this work, for example, is an assessment of the current state layout and material flow, and the design of a future state design. Often, we work with our clients to then implement changes such as equipment and line moves to achieve the future state design. Implementation Engineers is a trusted partner to ensure our clients’ strategies are optimal and leverage forward thinking solutions and fit-for-purpose technologies.
80% reduction in travel time
94% reduction in small part storage
59% increase in storage capacity
IX® in Action
Implementation Engineers successfully partnered with a leading multibillion dollar industrial machinery and equipment manufacturer to revolutionize its warehouse operations. By redesigning the warehouse layout and implementing cutting-edge automation solutions, we effectively reduced material handling waste and enhanced material provisioning processes, addressing production shortages that had been impacting the client's operations.
Our strategic redesign of the in-plant warehouse, coupled with innovative material handling equipment and racking selection, significantly increased storage density and efficiency. This transformation enabled the client to eliminate the need for an entire outside storage facility, resulting in substantial cost savings and improved operational agility. Furthermore, our optimization of the pick path, which reduced travel distance by over 80%, not only enhanced productivity but also streamlined operations, leading to enhanced efficiency and performance.
