Distribution

Boost efficiency with automated inventory control

Distribution operations rely on speed, accuracy, and clear visibility to keep orders moving and meet customer demands. Manual processes and scattered inventory can slow fulfillment, increase errors, and limit scalability.

Konecranes Agilon warehouse automation system combines automated storage, real-time visibility, and connected material flow in a single solution. Agilon helps distribution operations improve order fulfillment, maintain inventory accuracy, and make better use of space and resources through streamlined storage, picking, and inventory processes.

Read below to see how a warehouse automation system can benefit distribution operations.

Faster order fulfillment

Agilon automates picking and retrieval, significantly reducing the time it takes to process and ship orders. This enables faster response to customer demands and improves service. Automation also minimizes product damage and bottlenecks caused by manual errors or delays, supporting smoother and more consistent material flow.

The Agilon portal provides full visibility into materials management, tracking usage details for jobs or batches. Real-time alerts notify staff when stock runs low for quick reordering. And integration with ERP systems enables automatic replenishment, reducing manual work and improving supply chain efficiency.

What the customer says: "We needed more office space for after-sales operations and workshop areas but had to stay within the same walls. A traditional shelving system would take up significantly more floor space and wouldn't allow us to utilize room height."
