Keep production moving with smarter material management
In fast-paced production environments, not having the right parts at the right time can significantly slow down operations. Managing parts, tools and materials manually often leads to inefficiencies, errors, and unnecessary downtime.
Implementing the Agilon warehouse automation system can bring structure and visibility to internal logistics. Agilon helps production teams keep critical items organized, accessible, and traceable—supporting smooth workflows, faster response times, and more reliable output without sacrificing valuable floor space.
Read below to see how a warehouse automation system can benefit production processes.
Streamlined and automated material flow
Agilon automates the storage, retrieval, and delivery of materials, reducing manual handling and providing a smooth supply of parts and components to production lines. A single operator can process up to 400 order lines per hour.
Increased picking accuracy
Automated systems reduce human error in picking processes, so the right materials are delivered to the right place at the right time—minimizing rework and downtime.
Faster throughput and shorter lead times
Batch picking, pick-to-light guidance, multi-robot operation, and conveyor integration enable quicker picking, replenishment and delivery, helping you respond faster to production demands and reduce overall lead times.

Real-time inventory visibility
With built-in tracking and data capture plus integration with ERP systems, Agilon provides accurate, real-time inventory information—supporting better planning, reduced stockouts, and faster decision-making. Each transaction is recorded with user, time, and date stamps, supporting traceability and quality assurance.
Integrated material flow
Agilon integrates easily with conveyors, automated I/O systems, and transport automation solutions, supporting more synchronized material flows across production operations.
Combined with solutions such as the Agilon Autoload Trolley, materials can move efficiently between storage and production areas while reducing manual handling and supporting production supply processes.

Space optimization
Agilon’s modular, vertical design maximizes storage capacity in a compact footprint, freeing up valuable floor space for core production activities. Similar small parts can be stored together with the smart divider box for even more efficient use of space.
Scalable and flexible
Agilon outperforms traditional shelving systems because it can be easily reconfigured or expanded to meet changes in product mix, volume, or facility layout without disrupting operations.
Customer stories
ABB Smart Power, Finland
Application: Production warehouse
Process: Assembly of a range of low-voltage switches
What the customer says: "Batch picking saves considerable time because we have many of the same work orders from Agilon, which often contain the same components. Our warehouse workers have been very satisfied with this functionality and its clarity and ease."
Valmet, Sweden
Application: Production warehouse
Process: Manufacturing of tissue machines and equipment for the paper industry
What the customer says: “We no longer need to look for items that are missing. Agilon keeps track of everything and removes human errors when picking items. As stock levels are always up to date, there is no need for manual inventory, which saves us a lot of times. Tracking is excellent, too. We can see all transactions that have taken place in Agilon.”
