From warehouse to line, system-controlled material logistics
LG CNS/Factova MCS

Challenge

  • Operated with operator-driven material put-away and manual transport between processes
  • Need to grasp material locations and inventory status in real time
  • Difficult to respond flexibly to production plan changes and logistics equipment failures

Smart Factory Execution Plan

  • Linking MCS with WMS and MES to automatically generate transport jobs based on the production plan
  • System-based job assignment, route control and status management for AGVs and AMRs
  • Real-time tracking by linking warehouse and process locations with material and cart IDs
  • Standardized dispatch rules such as FIFO, urgent-Lot priority and equipment load balancing
  • Integrated monitoring of inventory, transport history and equipment status, with automatic response to failures and congestion

Expected Benefits

  • Fewer logistics operators needed through automated material and WIP transport
  • Prevention of material shortages and mis-feeds through inventory location visibility
  • Minimized waiting time and unnecessary movement through transport optimization
  • Greater operational stability and productivity through integrated logistics control
