•Case Study: Multibrás Increases Shipping And Supply Chain Capacity With RF Mobile Computers
In January 2005, Multibrás, the largest white-line manufacturer in Latin America, implemented Intermec equipment at the company's assembly lines in the city of Joinville, Brazil (state of Santa Catarina). With some 60 Intermec CK30-C mobile computers, the logistics division was able to enhance the information exchange process between the stock room and shipping.
Multibrás wanted to automate processes between its raw material and production line departments as well as in warehouse management and expedition. Improved productivity and delivery capacity were its goals.
At the plants that manufacture Brastemp and Consul refrigerators, the new automated system increased the ease and speed of key processes. Raw material ordering, order issuing and item shipping from the plant to the warehouse, among other tasks, became more agile. The company saw great gains in the re-supply of its stock rooms.
