Logistics solution in motorhome production: CAPRON motorhome factory relies on Jungheinrich
- Conveyor technology for Goods Receipt and Production Connection
- Control technology and visualisation
- Jungheinrich WMS manages internal material flow
The ERWIN HYMER GROUP plant CAPRON, manufacturer of motorhomes, has commissioned Jungheinrich to expand the warehouse capacity at its production site in Neustadt, Saxony. The Jungheinrich solution comprises a single-aisle racking warehouse for single-depth or double-depth storage. The rack operating equipment utilised in this expansion is from the Jungheinrich subsidiary MIAS and has a load capacity of 2 tonnes. The different production areas at the Capron motorhome factory are both served via stacking and retrieval channels. The new in-house racking warehouse serves as a buffer for raw materials, purchased parts and auxiliary materials. Jungheinrich's project-specific materials handling technology transports the special load carriers into Goods Receipt, Production and Goods Outward. Depending on the requirements, two different special load carriers with the dimensions 1.15 x 1.25 m or 2.5 x 1.25 m are automatically provided in Goods Receipt as an internal system carrier. After loading, they are stored in the new automated high-bay warehouse.
The monitoring and control of the entire in-house material flow takes place via the Jungheinrich WMS. This ensures process-reliable, transparent and efficient warehouse management. The Jungheinrich Warehouse Management System was named “Best Factory Software 2018” due to its high customer benefit and the ease with which it can be integrated into already existing software structures.
