Revolutionizing Manufacturing Efficiency with RTLS: A Denso Case Study

Challenge: DENSO, a global automotive parts manufacturer, faced inefficient tugger logistics in their Maryville, Tennessee facility.

Manual route planning lacked real-time data, leading to delays and production line downtimes. Solution: Asseco CEIT implemented a Real-Time Location System (RTLS) with Twiserion software.

The RTLS tracked tuggers, providing data for route optimization.

Twiserion analyzed data and created a digital twin of the logistics system.

This facilitated: Heatmaps & Spaghetti Maps: Visualized traffic patterns and identified bottlenecks. Route Time Reports: Provided insights to optimize routes and reduce delays. Navigation System: Empowered operators with real-time route guidance. Results: Reduced Fleet: Optimization allowed a 22% reduction in tugger trains. Improved Efficiency: Weekly intralogistics delays decreased by 100%. Proactive Management: Shifted DENSO from reactive to proactive logistics. Award Consideration: This project effectively improved DENSO’s supply chain efficiency through data-driven optimization and real-time visibility.

It demonstrates innovation and best practices in automotive manufacturing logistics, making it a strong contender for a supply chain award.
