Production

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.

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.

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.
