Case Study: Wilbert Plastic Services achieves precise in-line vehicle sequencing and maximized plant capacity with DELMIAworks

Wilbert Plastic Services - Customer Case Study

Wilbert Plastic Services in Belmont, North Carolina, is the world’s largest heavy‑gauge thermoformer, producing precision automotive parts for OEMs like John Deere, Hyundai and Kia. Confronted with 24/7 assembly‑line speeds, shorter vehicle lifecycles, a rapid increase in SKUs and the risk of steep fines for downtime, Wilbert needed shop‑floor–focused automation and EDI to manage complexity, ensure accuracy and respond quickly to changing customer requirements.

Wilbert implemented the IQMS ERP (now DELMIAWORKS) with embedded EDI, real‑time production monitoring and an in‑line vehicle sequencing (ILVS) app to sequence, verify and label parts for tight four‑hour delivery windows. The solution maximized plant capacity without adding resources, eliminated costly labeling mistakes, handled SKU proliferation and ensured reliably sequenced deliveries to assembly lines.
