Automotive Components Manufacturing · Wuxi, China
Challenge
As a global-leading automotive technology supplier with a long-standing Fortune Global 500 presence, the facility required reliable, high-throughput truck unloading to address:
- Low unloading efficiency at the dock
- High dependency on manual labor
- Disconnected RDC-to-factory information flow
- Demand for end-to-end warehouse closed-loop management
Manual unloading created dock congestion and capped overall inbound/outbound throughput.
Solution
ENGOAL implemented Pallsol-SC (Sliding Chain System) — a high-speed automated loading & unloading platform integrated at the existing dock.
System features:
- Flexible slat-chain docking, adaptable to multiple operating scenarios
- Seamless integration with RDC information flow and WMS/TMS system interfaces
- Dock-platform-level conveyor integration for direct truck-to-warehouse transfer
- Full-link closed-loop management from truck arrival to put-away
Designed for high-precision automotive component logistics.
Results
- 2× Unloading efficiency
- 100% Inbound & outbound automation rate
- RDC information flow → end-to-end closed-loop dock operations
- Flexible docking adapts to varied truck configurations and cargo types
- Stable, high-rhythm dock operations supporting continuous production
