OmniMod and Element Logic streamline 3PL operations at B.H. Ramberg with the OmniBatcher – a minimal-footprint system for efficient dispatch preparation

As a leading supplier of transport, logistics, storage, and 3PL solutions in Norway, B.H. Ramberg has sites across the country and are proud to have an innovation-focused mindset and early adopter approach for new technology.

‍

At their distribution center at Langhus, they handle general cargo (Norwegian: stykkgods) and provide cross-docking. This advanced logistics strategy ensures a steady stream of goods through the whole value supply chain by minimizing handling and storage. The result: efficient transport of goods from supplier to customer.

‍

B.H. Ramberg's cross-docking operations grow rapidly, but their manual system blocked them in keeping up with the increasing demands. They were limited by floor space, inefficient sorting processes and challenging error rates.

‍

To keep growing, they were in need of a smarter, minimal-footprint, and efficient solution that could tackle their fluctuating operating hours.

‍

Introducing the OmniBatcher, sorting and buffering of goods are now automated, and the fluctuations are seamlessly handled through wave-release of goods. Combined with an intuitive put-to-light system, a single operator can easily and efficiently run the full cross-docking operation with little training required.

‍

This new solution has…

‍

• increased throughput capacity by ~30%
• increased buffer capacity by 45% compared to traditional solutions
• reduced footprint by 25%
• reduced FTE needs by 66%

‍

The implementation of the OmniBatcher has been a game-changer. The compact installation of 200 sqm (including postal cages for the released goods) provides a smooth human-machine interaction and a future-proof scalability and flexibility.

‍

We're excited to continue watching how the OmniBatcher enables B.H. Ramberg to innovate and streamline their operations, as they learn to leverage the power of smart AI and versatile software!
