ROMS and Seino Information Service Address Internal Logistics Challenges

In the rapidly evolving manufacturing sector, automating internal logistics has become a crucial requirement for enhancing overall productivity. ROMS Co., Ltd., headquartered in Shinagawa, Tokyo, has partnered with Seino Information Service to release a white paper titled "Turning Point in Manufacturing Equipment Investment: A New Era for Internal Logistics Investment."

This document addresses critical issues faced in factory internal logistics, which, contrary to advancements in production line efficiency through investments in manufacturing equipment, remain hampered by outdated, manual processes. Such inefficiencies often lead to bottlenecks affecting the entire manufacturing workflow, particularly in areas such as parts supply and the storage of work in progress and finished goods.

The Problem of Inefficiency

In recent manufacturing environments, despite improvements in production line operations, many companies still rely on analog methods for internal logistics. This juxtaposition leads to significant operational bottlenecks that undermine overall efficiency. Furthermore, substantial initial investment costs, extended implementation timelines, and the complexities involved in integrating new systems prevent many companies from adopting automated solutions like automated storage systems.

The white paper provides insight into the major barriers to automation in internal logistics, including investment obstacles, issues on the shop floor, operational challenges, and data integration problems. It emphasizes the importance of business process re-engineering (BPR) as a strategy to overcome these hurdles.

Solutions from ROMS and Seino Information Service

The collaboration between ROMS and Seino Information Service leverages the strengths of both companies. Seino specializes in higher-level systems such as Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) and Warehouse Execution Systems (WES), while ROMS offers versatile, high-maintenance solutions starting from 100 square meters, utilizing common products for automation. This partnership aims to propose realistic steps toward achieving a comprehensive and well-planned automation strategy tailored to each factory's unique needs.

Companies can benefit from the insights shared in this white paper by understanding the various facets of internal logistics automation and identifying pathways to integrate innovative solutions without overwhelming financial risks.
