LTS commissioned the construction of a new logistics center at its Andernach facility to meet growing and constantly changing production requirements. The purpose of the new build was to support the sustained growth in production with optimal logistics processes. Concentrating the logistics processes at the facility would enable quick and flexible responses to production requirements.
The growth of the company and, in this context, the importance of the investment in the expansion of the production site for the development, manufacturing and logistics of surgical instruments are at the forefront.
The building will be one of the first industrial buildings in Germany to meet the stringent requirements of the KfW Efficiency House Standard 40, consuming 60% less primary energy than comparable properties.
The core design of the building is to effectively blend in with the nature of the region.
io’s production, logistics, quality assurance and IT experts collaborated closely from the concept phase on, to design a building that would enable an optimized flow of goods - Lead Consulting // plus.
During the course of the project, all existing processes were scrutinized, reviewed and supplemented by new process flows, as and where necessary. To name just one example, all internal transports and handling steps are now controlled by SAP-supported mobile data capture and bar code identification. The entire warehouse management and material flow control of the automatic pallet high-bay warehouse was also integrated into LTS’s central SAP ERP system using SAP WM.
