Success Story
Siemens Energy:
Centralized Control as the Basis for Scalable Intralogistics
At its facility in Berlin’s Moabit district, Siemens Energy manufactures large gas turbines for customers around the world. To ensure that approximately 8,000 internal transports mounthly are managed transparently and handled reliably, the company relies on the AI-powered intralogistics management system SYNCROTESS. After all, maintaining stable material flows in such a complex environment requires end-to-end visibility and optimized transport control.
The Highlights
Visibility into Material Flows
- With SYNCROTESS Siemens Energy has end-to-end visibility into all material movements within the plant and across transport chains spanning multiple sites.
- This has significantly reduced the time spent searching for materials in daily operations and ensures that transports can be tracked at any time.
Intelligent Control of Complex Transports
- The system coordinates internal transports in real time and assigns each order to the most suitable material handling vehicle, from smaller forklifts and electric carts to 20-ton forklifts and trailers.
- Even when urgent priorities, bottlenecks, or equipment failures arise, transport operations can be reorganized within seconds.
Effiziency and Scalability
- Improved planning enables more targeted deployment of vehicles and personnel, ensuring more efficient use of available capacity.
- The approach has proven so successful that it has been rolled out to additional sites and now serves as the foundation for further expansion into final assembly operations.
Reduced Workload in Daily Operations
- Centrally available information reduces inquiries and the need for coordination during daily operations
- This significantly eases the workload for teams and increases acceptance of intelligent transport control.
Keeping Track of Inbound Deliveries
- The yard management software SYNCROSUPPLY provides visibility right from the plant gate, from time slot booking for incoming trucks to optimized assignment to the appropriate loading dock.
- This makes inbound truck arrivals visible early on, allowing the plant to plan the necessary resources in advance and, ideally, unload trucks immediately upon arrival.
Depending on the type of material, our transport chains follow different processes. With SYNCROTESS, we have end-to-end visibility across all of them. We know exactly which orders are still open and where materials and vehicles are at each stage of the process. Ensuring a reliable material supply all the way through to final assembly is our ultimate challenge.
The benefits:
- Greater stability in daily operations
through fewer inquiries and less need for coordination - More efficient use of vehicles and personnel
thanks to improved planning reliability and more targeted capacity management
- Greater responsiveness to disruptions
through dynamic replanning in response to urgent orders, bottlenecks, and equipment failures - Future-ready intralogistics
by laying the foundation for cross-site processes extending all the way to final assembly - Scalable rollout to additional plants
through transferable structures and lessons learned from previous implementations
Conclusion:
SYNCROTESS provides Siemens Energy with end-to-end visibility, greater process stability, and effective control of complex material flows. The system thus lays the basis for scalable, future-ready intralogistics.
