Konecranes launches Agilon material handling solution in India

Konecranes has developed Konecranes Agilon to automate material flow and at the same time make information transparent and visible. Konecranes Agilon? has been improving everyday operations in about 100 locations in Finland, the UK and other selected countries for some years now. Agilon monitors the availability of tools, parts and components in real time at workshops, production plants and maintenance warehouses, optimising in-house logistics and increasing transaction capacity, transparency and storage area. The newest application has been to use Agilon at retail stores both indoors and outdoors as pick and go stations to replace parcel lockers.

?Agilon has made a breakthrough both in the industrial and retail markets, with our customers enjoying the benefits of advanced information management such as exact inventory balances. Now it is time to offer these benefits to Indian companies, too,? said Tapani Tilus, Vice President-Agilon Business, Konecranes.

Agilon can handle materials of all shapes and sizes up to 600 mm x 400 mm x 450 mm that weigh up to 25 kg. Every transaction is entirely traceable as every item entered into or removed from the system is user-, time-, and date-stamped. All transaction information is available through a web service that comes with the possibility to share availability information within the supply chain and create automated replenishment processes between systems.
