The challenge
Just-in-time and automated kanban.
In manufacturing, every minute of line stoppage carries a huge cost. Plant logistics automation guarantees just-in-time line feeding to each station with no errors or delays.
"Each line stoppage due to missing materials costs between $500 and $5,000 USD per hour."
Why automate
Key benefits
Automated just in time
Plant warehouse synchronized with MES/ERP for on-demand line feeding to each station.
Digital kanban

WIP and immobilized stock reduction
Automation context
Warehouse automation in manufacturing
In the manufacturing industry of Argentina and Chile, plant logistics —the plant's internal logistics— is the bottleneck that most affects productive efficiency. The automated raw-material warehouse and automated line feeding eliminate stoppages: a production line that stops for lack of inputs loses between USD 500 and USD 5,000 per hour. The production buffer synchronized with the MES, the basis of automated just in time, eliminates that risk.
The automated finished-goods warehouse solves the other end: agile and accurate dispatch of orders to the distribution channel. With plant logistics synchronized with the ERP via WCS, load preparation starts automatically without human intervention. Lot and serial number traceability is recorded in every depot movement, speeding up audits and market recalls.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about automation
Can I integrate plant logistics directly with my production line?
Yes. DELIE systems integrate with the plant MES (Manufacturing Execution System). When the line needs an input, the MES automatically sends the order to the depot WCS, enabling automated just in time.
What happens if there is a power outage during operation?
DELIE systems have integrated UPS and automatic recovery protocols. In case of an outage, the system records the exact position of each robot and recovers from the interruption point with no data loss.
Can I implement the system in phases without stopping production?
Yes. Phased implementation is the usual strategy: first the raw-material or finished-goods warehouse, without touching the production line.
What level of maintenance does the in-plant system require?
Preventive maintenance equals 2-4 hours per month for a standard system. The WCS monitors each component and issues early alerts before a failure occurs.
