From the Flow of Materials to the Flow of Information

In modern manufacturing facilities, thousands of metric tons of material move daily between receiving, warehousing, production, and shipping. At the same time, demands for on-time delivery, production flexibility, and resource efficiency are increasing.

Yet many companies lack a clear understanding of their material flows. Where is a specific coil located? Which batch will be available next? Where are delays or bottlenecks occurring? Often, information must be consolidated from different systems or even researched manually.

With Vollert’s intelligent intralogistics solutions, you gain transparency into your entire material flow—in real time. This makes processes easier to plan, decisions more informed, and production workflows significantly more efficient.

Complete transparency regarding your material flows

Efficient production processes are not based on guesswork, but on reliable information. Digital intralogistics solutions provide relevant process data in real time and lay the foundation for continuous improvement. Every movement is digitally recorded and documented. Materials can be uniquely identified, located, and tracked. Bottlenecks are detected early, material flows can be specifically optimized, and production processes can be flexibly adapted to changing requirements.

This creates a transparent information base for production managers, logistics managers, and senior management, and transforms an automated material flow into a powerful information system.

Transparency creates opportunities for optimization

Those who know exactly how materials move through the plant can identify opportunities for optimization much more quickly. Digital analyses help shorten transport routes, improve warehousing strategies, and reduce lead times.

With Vollert’s digital intralogistics solutions, you benefit from:

complete transparency into all material movements
real-time information on inventory, storage locations, and shipments
Seamless material tracking throughout the entire process
rapid identification of bottlenecks and opportunities for optimization
Meaningful KPIs for production and logistics
Informed decisions based on up-to-date data
Seamless integration into existing IT and automation environments
A future-proof foundation for the smart factory

This results in measurable improvements in productivity, space utilization, and cost-effectiveness.

Data That Creates Added Value

Digitalization doesn’t stop at the machine. Modern intralogistics systems are part of a networked production landscape and can be integrated into existing ERP, MES, or production control systems. This creates seamless information flows between production, warehousing, and logistics. Material movements are automatically documented, transport orders are digitally controlled, and relevant process data is made available centrally.

Not every piece of information is critical—what matters is the data that supports companies in their daily decision-making.

That is why Vollert develops solutions that not only move materials but also create transparency across processes. From seamless material tracking to meaningful key performance indicators and the analysis of equipment and material flows, valuable insights are generated that enable companies to continuously improve their production. After all, those who understand their processes can react more quickly, plan more efficiently, and produce more competitively in the long term.

In this way, Vollert lays the foundation for a future-proof smart factory in which material and information flows are optimally integrated.
