Automotive Just-In-Time (JIT) Smart Warehousing

Optimizing assembly line logistics for a global vehicle OEM using autonomous robotics, digital twin tracking, and real-time JIT inventory management.

Global Vehicle Manufacturer

Background

Supplying components to an automotive assembly line operating on strict 60-second takt times required absolute precision. The vehicle manufacturer was burdened by excessive line-side buffer inventory and truck dock congestion caused by uncoordinated deliveries from more than 80 regional tier-1 and tier-2 parts suppliers.

LOGISTEED established an 18,000 sqm supplier consolidation hub adjacent to the vehicle assembly plant. Utilizing LOGISTEED WMS integrated with factory VIN broadcasts, LOGISTEED managed Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI), automated sub-assembly kitting, and line-side delivery using AGV-driven tugger trains.

Summary of How LOGISTEED Helped:

Uninterrupted Production: Recorded zero assembly line stoppages over 24 months of continuous operations.
Inventory Lean Management: Reduced factory line-side buffer stock by 35% through precise JIT delivery sequencing.
High Delivery Precision: Maintained a 99.95% on-time delivery rate for sequenced component carts.

Project Scope

LOGISTEED manages a 18,000 sqm supplier consolidation center located adjacent to the client assembly plant, executing sub-assembly sequencing and direct-to-line delivery.

Scope of operations:

Automated sub-assembly kitting and broadcast sequencing based on vehicle VINs
AGV-driven tugger train deliveries directly to plant assembly line workstations
Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) hub operations for over 80 component suppliers

Challenges

The vehicle plant operated on strict 60-second takt times; any delayed component cart delivery would cause immediate assembly line shutdown costing $25,000 per minute.

Managing daily deliveries from over 80 regional tier-1 and tier-2 suppliers created severe truck dock congestion and receiving bottlenecks.

END RESULTS: Automotive Just-In-Time (JIT) Smart Warehousing
