By using a scientific approach, we present analysis results to ensure optimal picking and support rational decision-making.

Location is Everything Within the warehouse, the location of products directly impacts productivity, worker safety, and order accuracy. Fast-moving items should be placed in the most accessible locations for picking, heavy items should be stored in areas that minimize damage, and optimizing the overall storage capacity of the warehouse is also crucial. Challenges such as similar orders, an increase in the number of SKUs, unstable demand, and the need to respond to short lead-time orders require continuous optimization of warehouse space. In logistics operations that meet the requirements of omnichannel retailing, optimizing slotting has become essential for controlling costs and meeting customer expectations. The Best Approach to Optimization By recommending the best locations for each inventory item, employee labor efficiency improves, order processing cycles are shortened, and throughput can be maximized. Additionally, strategically grouping items for fulfillment and updating recommended layouts based on trends and demand for new products enhances customer service. *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.*

Labor management enhances product throughput, promotes customer service, and supports warehouse efficiency improvements.

High expectations for customer service through omnichannel commerce, fluctuating demand, an increase in the number of SKUs handled, and a reduction in the quantity per order require higher employee productivity and efficiency than before. In today's fast-paced economy, strengthening relationships with workers is essential for success. This allows for cost reduction in labor while driving innovation and increasing productivity and final profit margins. Manhattan's labor management solution is a system designed to bridge the engagement gap with employees by recommending rewards for high performers and providing coaching and training for those who are not meeting goals. As a result, workforce efficiency can be improved, leading to reduced turnover rates and increased productivity within the warehouse. Additionally, labor management enables managers and supervisors to forecast workloads, track productivity, and calculate incentives. By using this user-friendly mobile solution, supervisors can spend more time in the warehouse, engage with their teams, respond in real-time to remove obstacles, address underperforming employees, and ensure that operations run smoothly.

• Integrated operation management

In a civil engineering site material yard, not only is material storage conducted, but also the frequent movement of trucks and heavy machinery, unloading, and the movement of workers. On unpaved ground, mud and ruts can occur due to rain, which may reduce work efficiency. Hyper CLT mats are civil engineering CLT materials that utilize wood CLT. By laying them in material yards or storage areas, a work space that facilitates the movement of vehicles and heavy machinery can be established while protecting the ground. They can be laid only in necessary locations, and relocation or repurposing in accordance with construction progress is also possible. The 5×10 panel weighs approximately 230 kg, and the 5×20 panel weighs about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to install and remove even with small machinery. After use, they can also be utilized as temporary roads, access routes, or heavy machinery work yards. Additionally, they offer unique benefits of wood, such as glare reduction, noise suppression, and CO2 fixation. As a registered technology with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under NETIS "TH-250021-A," these wooden mats can also be used for environmental improvement in material yards and innovative public works.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding repair methods can alter the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" or "secondary damage." Hinode Water Supply Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for metal crack repair without the application of heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material at all. Repairs can be made even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.
