Schaumann
Thoughtful logistics for success in the barn.
Schaumann is a specialist in the nutrition of farm animals. For over 70 years, the company has been providing sustainable animal feed and individual solutions for farmers.
For more than two decades, Schaumann has been working with the process control system from ESA. With the growth of the company, the requirements for the storage logistics for the finished goods have become increasingly extensive.
Networking of production and logistics for maximum efficiency.
The production site in Taufkirchen in Upper Austria is focused on consistently high quality and efficiency. Integrated processes and intelligent tools enable the management of production quantities of around 60,000 tons per year. ESA's sophisticated solutions are a key element of the automated manufacturing environment, allowing for the clear management of approximately 3,000 different items and over 700 recipes.
At peak times, up to 40 truck trains are processed daily, which deliver the finished products precisely to the customers. In addition, there are numerous in-house transports as well as the delivery of high-quality raw materials, which are recorded exactly according to the FiFo principle and transported to the defined areas in the warehouse.
Around 5,000 pallet spaces are optimally utilized thanks to the well-thought-out concepts of ESA experts. What is referred to as "chaotic warehousing" is a form of dynamic warehouse management that can offer maximum efficiency, but requires a high level of experience and know-how in terms of planning.
Significant improvements in terms of quality assurance and customer satisfaction.
With the introduction of the warehouse management and logistics module, complaints regarding the quality of deliveries - such as delivery to incorrect customer addresses - have significantly decreased. The system from ESA provides employees with precisely calculated processes, thus eliminating sources of error. Individual deviations, such as in terms of pallet loading, are easily achievable. All steps are fully traceable.
Time-consuming inventories are also a thing of the past with the new logistics tool. All work is precisely guided by computer-controlled processes, reducing effort. This also provides a great added value for the employees!

We looked at potential partners in the market, but only at ESA did the proposed solutions match what our approaches and needs required. The consistent solutions in the control system and the ideal connection to SAP convinced us additionally, so we want to expand our cooperation with ESA.
