MERCK Completes Process Chain with New Distribution Centre
MERCK
With GEBHARDT’s help, MERCK reached a key milestone in logistics excellence. We helped them develop a cutting-edge distribution centre in Darmstadt to further optimise and streamline their operations. The expansion helped complete the company’s process chain by improving the efficiency of internal goods movement.
The integration of internal conveyor technology improves workflow, while control systems and processes are seamlessly connected to the SAP system for real-time data management.
Carton Conveying: Streamlining Shipping Operations
The introduction of carton conveying technology fills the final gap in the process chain, connecting the packaging and shipping stages. This innovation ensures smooth, uninterrupted movement of goods, improving speed and accuracy in shipping and allowing MERCK to meet global market demands.
Upgraded Control Systems and IT Integration
The development also includes significant upgrades to the electronic control systems, both hardware and software. This enhances operational efficiency across the entire distribution centre.
Full integration with MERCK’s SAP system ensures flawless order processing, with all data captured and processed in real-time. This seamless IT integration allows for accurate tracking of inventory and shipments, supporting MERCK’s commitment to operational excellence and innovation in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries.
