Case Study: Kardex Mlog reduces warehouse downtime with MOBOTIX video systems

Kardex Mlog reduces warehouse downtime by up to 30% with Mobotix

The customer, Kardex Mlog, a leading provider of automated warehouse systems, faced the challenge of minimizing economic losses caused by downtime in their fully automated high-bay warehouses. To keep the standstill times of their storage and retrieval machines (RBG) as low as possible, they partnered with vendor Mobotix to implement a video monitoring solution, specifically the MOBOTIX S15D cameras.

The solution involved equipping each RBG with a Mobotix S15D dual-lens camera, providing a 360-degree panoramic view to monitor pallets and identify potential obstructions. This allowed for rapid fault diagnosis and reduced the need for dangerous on-site inspections. The implementation by Mobotix led to a significant reduction in downtime, with Kardex Mlog reporting that standstill times were reduced by an average of 25 to 30 percent, resulting in savings of thousands of euros for warehouse operators.
