Case Study: Kalmar RT Center, LLC achieves automated MRP day-end processing and $14K/year savings with Automation Anywhere

Manufacturer of container handling equipment automates day-end processing for MRP system

Kalmar RT Center, a Cargotec division in Cibolo, Texas that manufactures the Rough Terrain Cargo Handler, faced a repetitive nightly burden: a 10-step MRP/ERP day-end process that took about 30 minutes and had to be run after hours by IT or accounting staff, disrupting evenings and risking delays in posting to the General Ledger and updating reports.

The company implemented Automation Anywhere to run the entire sequence on a schedule — logging into ERP/MRP, locking/unlocking periods, posting GL batches, refreshing and saving reports, and more — removing the need for manual intervention. The unattended process now runs nightly, freeing staff from late‑night duty, improving morale and saving roughly $14,000 per year in labor while enabling further automation opportunities.
