Initial situation
Previously, container management was manual and unsupported by a tracking system, resulting in a high search and management effort. In addition, the large number and variety of containers made it difficult to work quickly. This resulted in long search times for the container and waiting times for trucks to be loaded.

The goal
In order to meet increasing customer requirements and maximize process efficiency, the goal was clear: Achieve 100% transparency of all container inventories to enhance overall process performance. For this reason, ELA chose IdentPro’s Warehouse Execution System to optimize existing processes and significantly improve productivity.
