ABB SFL Turgi

Over 25% savings in process costs

Manufacturing Smart Factory Logistics
ABB has been developing and manufacturing sustainable technology solutions, including traction converters for trains, trams, and e-buses, in Turgi for years.

ABBs challenge

As part of their production and assembly process, they consume around half a million fasteners annually, managing over 4,400 different items in varying quantities. It is therefore very important to them to make their production efficient and to have a continuous information chain.

The key challenge was material handling all the way to the assembly workstation and ensuring material availability. In addition, ABB also wanted to reduce their process costs for C-parts.

 

Bossard’s solution

With our Smart Factory Logistics systems and our Last Mile Management intralogistics solution, we were able to specifically address ABB's needs. The fully automated SmartBin Cloud system ensures material availability, and the vibration sensor in the scales registers stock changes in real-time, providing continuous information to the employees. All items are labeled with a SmartLabel, which displays the current order status and delivery date. The "milkrunner" receives a digital, smart, and paperless route plan for picking and refilling the assembly workstations, ensuring efficient and time-saving execution of the "last mile."

 

ABB’s benefit

  • Today, there are over 13,300 SmartLabels and around 3,800 SmartBins actively used in the five production halls.
  • Production never had to be interrupted during installation due to the good preparation. Thanks to the reduction of movements in internal logistics and the standardization of the handling infrastructure, the new solutions are very well received by those involved.
  • The system is very intuitive and does not require any elaborate introduction.
  • Since the implementation with Bossard, ABB has saved over 25% in process costs for C-part handling, while reducing the walking distance for assembly personnel by at least 13%!
