The new high-bay warehouse (HBW) is remarkable, featuring 7 aisles and over 15,000 storage locations, towering up to 39.6 meters tall. Initially designed to house nearly 2,000 SKUs, the layout ensures efficient storage of a wide range of products, supporting HELLA Saturnus' diverse materials used in their various production processes.
LNConsult played a crucial role in the precise 10-month conceptual planning phase, ensuring every detail of the warehouse's design and functionality was carefully considered. Following a 24-month realization phase, LNConsult supported the final testing and facilitated the successful go-live. One of the challenges faced in the project realization was the coordination between the hardware and software suppliers.
Arjun Subramanian Baskaran, the responsible project manager at LNConsult GmbH, says, "We're proud to have planned a high-bay warehouse solution for HELLA Saturnus. The go-live of the new high-bay is a milestone for HELLA Saturnus and LNConsult, showcasing our effective collaboration across multiple suppliers, enhancing clarity and efficiency among different stakeholders. This project stands as proof of our practice-oriented approach throughout the different project stages. Thanks to our know-how along the entire supply chain, we were able to support everything from designing through tendering and supplier selection to testing and go-live.”
This collaboration between HELLA Saturnus and LNConsult showcases the power of teamwork and supporting each other in making difficult decisions.
"We are very happy about the results of this great collaboration! The new high-bay warehouse exceeds our expectations and enables a more efficient workflow. Thanks to LNConsult's expertise, we were able to go-live faster than expected,” says the responsible project manager from HELLA Saturnus Slovenia.
