The challenge

Target industries include fashion, healthcare, manufacturing, consumer goods, tires, media and online retail. The basis is formed by 30 logistics centers with multiple-client capability – the so-called mega centers. Their equipment focuses on one of the core industries and requires intelligent software systems for warehouse management and control of optimum intralogistics processes. 

Warehouse characteristics

  • Logistical handling of hanging and flat packed garments
  • Identification of each part by individual scan in incoming and outgoing goods
  • Integration of a batch formation for the optimization of logistics
  • Optimization of the picking areas by using different picking procedures (one-stage, twostage and multi-order picking)
  • Complex returns processing

Software in use

Deployed software: PSIwms

Realized interfaces:

Data management/ integration (Lobster Data), Shipping system (Heidler)

The solution

FIEGE uses PSIwms in three logistics centers (e.g. Burgwedel with a logistics area of 50,000 square meters for the stocking of garments, accessories

and shoes as well as the order and dispatch processing of orders from the B2B and B2C segments). In addition to batch formation with route-optimized, multi-stage picking, the mega center includes a wide range of value-added services as well as returns processing (200 employees process up to 80,000 articles). Fare more than 250,000 storage spaces are available on several levels for the storage of hanging and flat goods, etc. - the storage in various product segments is chaotic and takes place at case level. The system generates the route-optimized picking processes from the order data that the PSIwms receives from the FIEGE EDI platform and transfers the orders to the employees on mobile data terminals (MDT). In the process, the system structures and controls nine different order types. Users can flexibly and independently adapt the user interface to their tasks and working methods through PSI-Click-Design. Multi-site capability allows FIEGE to centrally control and concertedly coordinate serval locations. PSIwms offers us maximum flexibility in customizing PSIwms to the required offerings and supports the efficiency of our intralogistics with intelligent process control.
