Supply Chain Supervision and Optimization

In today’s world of logistics, companies need more than just automated processes – they also need software solutions to boost their transparency, efficiency and competitiveness. From analytics to SCADA, all these software solutions have the same goal: to ensure that your system stays operational and to empower you to make data-based decisions. Having a complete overview of your installations, resources and data flows is a must for monitoring and analysis, which forms the foundation for continuous optimization.

Do you want to make proactive, data-based decisions?

KiSoft SCADA

Visualizes and monitors automated warehouse and logistics systems. Provides complete transparency on the status of the system while enabling quick troubleshooting and plannable maintenance.

KiSoft Analytics

Analyses logistics data to improve planning and make data-based decisions possible.

KiSoft CMMS

Maximizes system availability and service life through systematic maintenance scheduling and spare parts management.

Resource Management

Reduces costs while improving overall performance by optimizing the deployment of personnel and machines.

How you benefit from intelligent maintenance and optimization tools

The targeted use of intelligent tools in the warehouse not only reduces costs; it also improves quality, speed and flexibility.

Business-relevant decision-making with Analytics
View information at a glance with preconfigured dashboards and KPIs. Detect trends, peaks and anomalies early.
Optimized use of resources
Scheduling resources (people and machines) in a warehouse is highly complex and time-consuming. If the schedule changes at short notice, rescheduling is no less demanding. Resource planning software creates schedules at the push of a button based on the expected workload and while taking current vacation, sick leave and working time models into account to maximize the efficiency of resource planning.

Lower maintenance costs
CMMS automatically notifies you of different machines’ maintenance intervals, which you can document directly in the system. If maintenance is carried out as suggested by the CMMS, it can improve system availability.
Optimal packing patterns
Making the best possible use of warehouse space requires intelligent algorithms that calculate packing patterns based on palletizing requirements. These algorithms also optimize the use of space on different load carriers, such as pallets.

Product master data as the basis for optimization
Precise master data is essential for a high level of automation. The more product data is available (such as packaging type, whether the product can be rotated or tipped, and compression strength), the better automated systems can handle the items.
System monitoring in real time
SCADA systems monitor automated system areas in real time and display any errors or required maintenance. By doing so, they ensure that maintenance is performed early and fast, significantly reducing downtimes.

Great data = great decisions

Without reliable information, processes can hardly be automated or optimized. Warehouse management systems or pallet configuration software can only provide good results when the underlying data is correct – and only high-quality data can provide a basis for good decisions. It forms the foundation of analyses, answers targeted questions and helps warehouse operators make data-based decisions.

What kinds of questions can good data help answer?

How well are individual stations performing?
Where do errors most often occur (and what kind)?
On average, how long does it take to process an order?
How is stock distributed in the warehouse based on its ABC classification?

Questions like these often can’t be answered based on individual warehouse systems. Rather, answering them requires data from different sources. At KNAPP, we’ve set out to make data from the most diverse sources available and ready for analysis all in one place so that you can answer as many questions as possible based not on your gut feeling, but on data and facts.

Are you data-savvy?

Data quality is foundational to successful logistics automation. It decides whether processes run efficiently, cost-effectively and with a focus on the customer – or whether they don’t. Implementing software solutions to supervise and optimize logistical processes is a strategic decision that has a lot of potential – but also poses a lot of challenges. Recognizing these challenges early and approaching them strategically clears the ground for powerful, future-proof logistics. With KNAPP and their wide portfolio as a strong partner at your side, you are well-positioned to master these challenges.
