Sifam Group
Location
Provence Alpes Côtes d’Azur, France
The client
The SIFAM group is one of the key players in the European distribution of motorbike and scooter parts from the leading brands. SIFAM has also developed its own range of technical products.
The project
To ensure its continued growth, SIFAM chose our connected conveyor system to optimise the preparation and dispatch of its orders.
The solution had to be adapted to the existing ERP and integrate a new WMS software package for warehouse management and control of all flows, from supplier reception to delivery of parcels to carriers.
The solution
The solution devised by TRANSITIC combines mechanical engineering, automation and IT, and consists of a network of automatic conveyors attached to an IT system incorporating upgradeable WMS software and OpenWCS.
The installation comprises :
– Roller conveyors and a belt conveyor arranged in parallel.
– An extendable conveyor for loading and unloading lorries.
– A machine for sorting shipping cartons.
– An automatic strapping machine.
– An omni-directional barcode reader.
Our customer benefits from a 360° view of its warehouse management and precise control of its activity thanks to SCP (Supply Chain Pilot) monitoring. The resulting productivity gains will enable SIFAM to achieve its planned growth.
The key systems of the installation
Barcode reader
The barcode reader, or scanning device, is an essential tool for traceability. Positioned at key points along the order process, it accurately identifies cartons and items, enabling optimal sorting, routing, or assembly based on their type or destination.
Extendable conveyor
The extendable or telescopic conveyor offers a modular setup, making it ideal for adapting to increased goods handling or facilitating truck unloading. It serves as a link between two machines and helps maintain a high production rate.
