Case Study: C+C Krug GmbH achieves 90% faster availability with SSI Schaefer automation

C+C Krug GmbH - Customer Case Study

The plastic electroplating specialist C+C Krug GmbH faced a challenge when its growing production volume and increased number of projects outstripped the capacity of its existing warehouse. The company needed to gain more space for raw materials and find modern equipment to make its warehouse and production processes more efficient, ideally through semi-automation. They partnered with vendor SSI SCHAEFER to address this.

SSI SCHAEFER implemented a semi-automated solution consisting of three SSI LOGIMAT® Vertical Lift Modules, a bin conveying system, and two WEASEL® automated guided vehicles. This allowed C+C Krug to achieve significant results, including a 50% reduction in picking times and a 90% faster availability of components. The high-density storage solution also shortened distances for employees and provided a safe, barrier-free connection between the warehouse and production.
