Infor <\/a>announced that MenaBev, a multinational franchise organization of PepsiCo, has implemented Infor WMS\u00a0warehouse management solution at its more than 300,000-square-meter bottling facility in Jeddah<\/a>. Underpinning MenaBev\u2019s end-to-end operation, from raw material receipt through to the production, storage and shipping of finished goods, Infor WMS will increase automation<\/a> across the organization, optimizing business processes to boost capacity and support continued growth. The project was successfully managed by Infor alliance partner\u00a0SNS<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The automation<\/a> at MenaBev facility is state-of-the-art: LGVs (laser guided vehicles) manage raw materials putaway and replenishment to the lines while a High Bay AS\/RS (automated storage and retrieval system) has a capacity for more than 36,000 pallets. The\u00a0solution receives finished goods from the production lines via elevators and monorails; automatic truck loading platform delivers the goods to outbound vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MenaBev\u00a0solicited the expertise of SNS consultants in WMS software to complement its offering for this green field project, drawing on the SNS team\u2019s vast experience in managing such large, complex implementations to ensure the right solution to fulfil MenaBev\u2019s specific needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The warehouse management solution integrates with seven different systems, including enterprise resource planning (ERP \u2013 including Infor LN), manufacturing execution system (MES), laboratory information management system (LIMS) and original equipment manufacturer\u00a0(OEM) systems, providing real-time integration and featuring monitoring screens to identify any integration issues. The full production module enables messages to be sent to LGVs to feed lines and notifies the high bay warehouse about finished goods pallets, and a customized yard management solution manages dock assignments and access to the facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe can receive raw materials using supplier multi-field barcodes, trigger replenishment to production based on live consumption and load pallets onto trucks without a single paper printed,\u201d comments Tamer Salem, MES and automation <\/a>manager at MenaBev. \u201cThanks to the new system, we have visibility over all our warehouse processes. We\u2019ve worked very closely with the SNS team to ensure we implement the best solution for our extensive operation. We pride ourselves on our commitment to using state-of-the-art technology in manufacturing and sales & distribution, and this implementation certainly fits that brief. We look forward to this next chapter in our business, readily embracing the benefits this new way of working will bring.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFacilities of this scale rely on the very best digital capabilities to optimize operations and maximize performance,\u201d comments Wael\u00a0Mabsout, senior manager at SNS. \u201cInfor <\/a>WMS will integrate with all of MenaBev\u2019s key systems to facilitate end-to-end visibility, which is crucial in generating real-time insights, and enhancing decision-making to support future growth. Our team\u2019s experience in setting up logistics processes of this scale was invaluable in making the right recommendations especially when it came to integrate with OEMs.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
