Modern-day warehouses and distributors are on a constant quest to become more efficient and improve their profitability. To achieve this goal, optimizing and streamlining their warehouse management processes is key. This plays a pivotal role in reducing the excess inventory carrying costs and preventing stockouts that result in production delays and, ultimately, customer dissatisfaction.

Companies of any size can count on Ujigami to accelerate their warehouse and inventory.

Ujigami is a purpose-built software solution that enables companies to create new intelligent plant floor environments with real-time active control of their warehouse management processes. The Ujigami solution is designed on the principles of precision, speed and efficiency, and combines real-time control with AI-driven inventory accuracy. This makes Ujigami the perfect partner to streamline operations, reduce costs, and improve overall inventory performance metrics. Consequently, users can enhance their bottom line while delivering superior services to their customers.

The company recognizes that warehouse performance is dependent on velocity and accuracy. And this cannot be achieved without the strategic implementation of active control of manual proceses and automation—a solution that can simultaneously augment speed and precision while cutting down labor costs. Unfortunately, by being batch processes, traditional warehouse management systems are unable to deliver the real-time decisions and interactions essential for optimal control within warehouse environments. Ujigami, as a transformative solution, excels by maintaining the optimum level of inventory in real time and intelligently reducing and managing inventory discrepancies. It also seamlessly integrates with ERP/MRP systems to improve their performance.

“We have an excellent track record with real-world warehouse and distribution experience. This has made our solution the go-to choice of companies for eliminating process errors and any kind of bottleneck that might emerge from manual warehouse operations,” says Edward Dickson, president, Ujigami.

In one instance, one of the largest pet store supply distributors in the U.S. was in search of a solution that could ensure every individual customer order was picked with the shortest lead time and highest precision. When they implemented Ujigami, it provided the accurate and timely execution of their warehouse management operations.

The solution utilizes demand forecasting and anticipated throughput to determine the best inventory placement across various pick methodologies. It then dsitributes distinct portions of each order to different operators to optimize output. Automated picking and automated conveyance by conveyor and AGVs seamlessly bring these individual order items together. As a result, the pet store supply distributor conducts efficient shipments to customers, enabling them to become more responsive to clients and improve profit margin.

“The client was looking for a solution that could fulfill their requirement without adding new technical challenges or bottlenecks, and Ujigami delivered to its promise,” says Dickson.

Numerous global businesses have adopted Ujigami to streamline warehouse management. By integrating high velocity and accuracy under one umbrella, the ground-breaking system has revolutionized the complex process of warehouse management. This is specifically true in a world gradually gravitating toward adopting the principles of Industry 4.0. For the uninitiated, it refers to improving all aspects of warehouse and distribution, and reducing the scope of human intervention as much as possible. Ujigami, undoubtedly, is the perfect solution for this.
