Mushiny Enables LEDVANCE To Achieve Integrated Warehouse And Distribution Upgrades

Mushiny, the world's leading tech company specializing in logistics robot intelligent systems,  recently implemented a state-of-the-art "goods-to-person" solution using Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) for the well-known lighting brand LEDVANCE. This solution successfully passed all rigorous tests during its trial run and achieved seamless integration between Mushiny’s iRES system and SAP, resulting in a fourfold increase in picking efficiency. The project is expected to achieve a return on investment (ROI) within 1.5 years.

Project Overview

Mushiny provided a comprehensive AMR "goods-to-person" solution for LEDVANCE’s central warehouse in Kentucky, USA. This solution included over 80 sets of Mushiny T6 robots, a groundbreaking platform product developed by Mushiny, along with the iRES Intelligent Robot Execution System and additional peripheral equipment like workstations and racks.  

The warehouse spans over 30,000 square meters, with 5,000 square meters dedicated to the AMR operations, handling around 5,000 SKUs and storing more than 880,000 items.

- Number of robots: 80  

- Location: Kentucky, USA  

- Warehouse area: 5,000 m²  

- Industry: Lighting  

- SKU: 5,000  

- Total inventory: 880,000 items  

Key Advantages of Mushiny’s Solution

1. Significant Improvement in Picking Efficiency:  

  The robot-driven "goods-to-person" solution, based on detailed operational data analysis, has increased picking efficiency by 4 times.

2. Seamless SAP Integration:  

  The system is fully integrated with the client’s upstream SAP system, ensuring smooth data exchange throughout warehouse operations.

3. Bidirectional Replenishment:  

  The system supports both active and passive replenishment methods, meeting various replenishment needs within the warehouse.

4. Optimized Picking Sequence:  

  Orders are sorted by SKU size and weight, with larger and heavier items picked first. This minimizes the need for secondary stacking and streamlines the picking process.

5. Automated Unit Conversion:  

  The system automatically converts units of measurement. For example, if the unit is "box," it is automatically converted to "pieces" for accurate record-keeping.

6. Efficient Inventory Counting:  

  The system supports both “open and blind counting” methods, improving inventory accuracy while ensuring fast and efficient counting processes.

7. Digital Simulation:  

  Before the official launch, all software functionalities were tested internally at Mushiny and within the client’s test environment. This ensured that the client fully understood the software operations, minimizing risks before deployment in the live environment.

Through these innovative solutions, Mushiny continues to empower global partners like LEDVANCE, driving transformative upgrades in warehouse and distribution processes.
