Warehouse Challenges for Automotive and Tyre

Industry challenges
»
Traceability & Inventory Accuracy - Lack of inventory visibility or errors in spare parts tracking leads to missing components, resulting in line disruption and halting of the overall production and delay in order fulfilment.
»
Buffer Storage - Automotive warehouses face complications in managing parts of different shapes and varieties – from body panels to sensors and fasteners. They need to maintain ample buffer storage for in-process goods (WIP), as per assembly flow requirements.
»
Fixed lines Bottlenecks - With fixed conveyor lines, failure at one module can lead to pile up of the production batches, resulting in complete halt across the facility, further leading to financial losses.
»
Labour Scarcity - It is a rising challenge to retain skilled workers that can deal with heavy engines, tyres and EV batteries at extreme temperatures.
Industry challenges
»
Inefficient Storage - With manual inventory slotting systems, warehouses face risk of unusable rack space, stretching restocking time and slowing down order fulfilment.
»
Spare Parts Availability - With unpredictable demand, assuring spare parts availability in different distribution hubs remain a major problem, as insufficient inventory directly impacts the service quality and customer satisfaction.
»
Finished goods Handling - Manual handling of the finished goods can cause scratches or deformities and hence, it calls for extensive care during material movement.

Preguntas frecuentes

  • What factors determine the cost of automating a Tyre/Automotive warehouse?

    The cost depends on size of the warehouse, production line complexity and type of robots used. Since every automotive and tyre company has unique requirement, our solutions are custom-designed. For an exact cost estimate, please get in touch with our experts here.

  • How long does it take to implement warehouse automation for an Automotive Company?

    Timelines for an automotive warehouse automation may vary by floor size, pallet or tote positions, and internal movement range. Modular systems like flexible assembly line robots or tugging robots can go live in a few months, with phase-wise deployment helping smooth integration with our multi-client software suite.

  • How can automation handle complex tyre and wheel storage?

    Tires and wheels are bulky, heavy, and have custom sizes. Automated high-bay ASRS system and shuttle robots maximize dense storage, while assembly line robots and robotic picking ensure safe handling without damage or misplacement and also supports JIT sequences in manufacturing and assembly lines.

  • Can Addverb solutions large variety SKUs of spare parts on scale?

    Yes. Our WMS software with integrated storage and retrieval system enables error-free management tote and pallet positions of 30,000+ SKUs, ensuring fast access, reduced downtime, and higher service levels for after-sales logistics.

  • How do Addverb systems support lean manufacturing in automotive plants?

    Our ASRS systems, AMR robots with RFID/barcoding and our software suite integrates seamlessly with existing MES systems, ensuring continuous flow of materials and on-time feeding of production lines for lean operations. This also enables 100% traceability, compliance, and faster recalls if required.
