NIMMSTA - Process Solution

Company

KRONE is an internationally active manufacturer of commercial vehicles and agricultural machinery with complex logistics processes in production and spare parts supply. To meet increasing demands for speed, transparency, and quality in intralogistics, the company relies on innovative digital solutions.

Field of Application

The handheld scanners are used in order picking, putaway, preparation, and, in the near future, packaging as well.

Challenge

In warehouse logistics, numerous parts and components must be made available quickly and without error every day.

The previous processes presented the logistics team with several challenges:

Limited freedom of movement due to the use of handheld scanners
Increased training requirements due to confusing process and user guidance on the scanner
Time-consuming analysis and troubleshooting in the event of process disruptions or error messages

KRONE was therefore looking for a solution th ly improves efficiency, ergonomics, and process reliability.

Solution

With the introduction of the NIMMSTA Industrial Smart Watch and the NIMMSTA Process Solution , KRONE improved key logistics processes.

The solution enables:

Hands-free picking, putaway, and staging via an integrated barcode scanner
Direct communication with the warehouse management system (WMS)
Immediate visual feedback via the display and feedback functions
Faster confirmation of process steps via button

Implementation in the warehouse

The handheld scanners are used directly in day-to-day warehouse operations, particularly for:

Picking and putting away spare parts
Scanning items and storage locations
Process confirmations in material flow/picking

The devices are worn ergonomically on the wrist and allow for intuitive operation throughout the entire work process.

Results

By implementing the NIMMSTA Process Solution, KRONE was able to achieve several improvements:

Productivity

Faster scanning processes
Reduced travel and handling times
Shorter training period

Quality

Fewer process disruptions / more efficient error analysis
Greater process reliability

Employee satisfaction

Ergonomic working without a handheld scanner
Intuitive operation

Transparency

Real-time data on process status
Improved control over logistics processes

Overall, the implementation of NIMMSTA proceeded in a very structured manner and without any major challenges.
