Case Study: Nutrilite achieves safer, more efficient intra-plant material flow with Dematic AGV and WES solution

Intra Plant Delivery System Creates Operational Efficiencies

Nutrilite, a production plant, was facing challenges with inefficient and unsafe manual material movement within its facility. This included slow response times, potential product damage, inventory inaccuracies, and safety concerns from using forklifts in a clean room environment. To address this, they partnered with Dematic for an automated solution.

Dematic implemented an Intra Plant Delivery system, which featured automated guided vehicles (AGVs) managed by Warehouse Execution System (WES) software. This automated the movement of raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods, segregating automated and manual forklift operations to different parts of the plant. The results for Nutrilite included increased safety, reduced labor costs in the clean room, optimized material flow, strategic ingredient separation, and efficient, staged outbound loading. The Dematic system created a safer, more efficient, and more productive operational environment.
