Automatic material replenishment control for smart production processes.
ID.HEIJUNKA structures the material flow directly at the workstation.
Materials are supplied in a targeted way, while both used and unused components are automatically recorded. Return flows are systematically controlled through an integrated process.
This creates a closed material loop between warehouse, workstation, and material return.
The result:
• structured workstation supply
• controlled material return processes
• reduced inventory chaos in pre-assembly
• consistent material availability
• fewer manual relocation and handling activities
Challenges in manual material supply
Material is provided but not fully consumed. Workstations frequently change their configuration. Returned materials must be correctly identified and routed back into storage. At the same time, different variants and changing order sequences create additional complexity.
This results in:
unclear workstation inventory | lack of traceability | material losses | manual rebooking processes | inconsistent supply levels | high effort for searching and sorting
Benefits of ID.HEIJUNKA
• Dynamic workstation supply. Materials are provided flexibly according to order and demand.
• Integrated return logic
Unused materials are systematically returned into the process flow.
• Stabilization of variable processes
Even with changing products and variants, the material flow remains controlled.
• Transparent workstation inventory
Every material status is digitally traceable at all times.
• Reduced manual effort
Fewer bookings, search activities, and internal relocations.
• Seamless integration
Connection to warehouse, ERP, and production systems for end-to- end process continuity.
