Eliminate Complexity - Many of the challenges associated with production intralogistics involve material movement. While part of the solution to this challenge may be automation, many issues can be addressed simply through simplifying workflows that provide intelligent control of components moving from secured storage areas, to quality driven production operations, to final pack-out, to labeling, and final shipping operations
Eliminate Complexity - Overall, intralogistics is a simple concept, but every DC and warehouse operation needs to strategize carefully to find inefficiencies and promote better communication and connectivity. Intralogistics requires appropriate equipment - you never want to automate the mess!
Of course, human workers will always be the most important component of a well-run intralogistics operation, and the goal isn’t to replace personnel. Instead, intralogistics allows workers to work as efficiently as possible by removing unnecessary hurdles. Workplace safety and human efficiency go hand-in-hand - a well planned system following the proven SOLVEIT Methodology has numerous tangible benefits for every intralogistics operation today, tomorrow, and in the future years of changes ahead.
It’s no secret that material handling in DC's, warehouses, production areas, and shipping operations has become increasingly difficult in recent years. What strategies will give you the most efficient results when moving goods is a common question we hear most often. With so many options available to improve your intralogistics functions with the 4 walls of your facility, you need an experienced advisor partner who can help you navigate these options in a timely manner.

Waste in operations will be identified for removal in order to prepare TO-BE Performance alternatives for future process improvements and documenting long-term strategic planning goals.
CONFACS Conducts Analytics of What Exist Today For Measuring Improvement Success Tomorrow & Key Management Questions:
CONFACS has maintained an extensive database of project success factors, that have been continuously updated with the latest references, ready to provide quick access for intralogistics and business transitional advances in the 4 key categories of people, processes, place (facilities) and technologies for integrated connection possibilities when developing objective future operational improvement scenarios. These factors are utilized developing future broad big-picture process possibilities.
The many factors considered for an intralogistics transformation consider the 'big picture' when developing interconnected advantages for planning:
Planning for change especially important in a time of multiple disruptions that intralogistics operations are currently experiencing. Key to the challenges for design and developing your SMART solutions is uncovering factors that assist in your planning team productivity with fast connected results. A key factor that will be evaluated, in services supporting future disruptions, is the value working with localizes suppliers building resilience to changes in your supply chain. Flexibility is key to remaining relevant.
When challenges are presented to intralogistics operations a common response is to take fast action for solving inventory or workflow issues in isolation. CONFACS project success proves out it is best to undertake all programs working with a holistic view goal for delivering an interconnected and simplified integrated planning solutions utilizing predictive analytics to build your roadmap.
CONFACS projects are organized and managed from the start of every program by initiating a documented plan for setting timely objectives and referencing key factors quickly that will influence the connections for bringing about emergent value for work environments. Intralogistics scenarios can model wall-to-wall & receiving doors-to-shipping doors operational options.
Today intralogistics are increasingly becoming connected with technologies - including building resiliency & flexibility for developing multiple potential future possibilities for breakthroughs:
Phase II - Scenario Planning:
Developing CONFACS Scenario Models is not to make predictions... but to discern the possible states where intralogistics might be both plausible & significant to instill agility, adaptability, and resilience preparing for taking action on future planning strategies. The key role of CONFACS Scenarios is to arrange the Factors so they illuminate the integration possibilities, instead of obscuring them.
Developing scenarios requires imagination and discipline, combined with experience and knowledge, to identify and apply factors that surface the uncertainties of intralogistics operations. CONFACS scenarios assist your planning team instilling a deeper appreciation for a myriad of transformational factors in shaping the interconnected scenario planning process leading to current and future innovative options that matter.
CONFACS has identified six key elements for developing To-Be planning strategies:
Phase III Engineering & Design:
CONFACS brings all project team stakeholders working together utilizing simulation-driven analysis decision tools to facilitate design foresight sessions. The design process will explore opportunities setting intralogistics priorities when developing accurate data analysis with fact-based models.
The primary intralogistics goals will support your business for delivering competitiveness utilizing creative designs. SMART design plans will be modular, flexible, scalable, connected and sustainable. TO-BE Designs must be simple, dramatic and bold to cut through workplace complexity aiming directly at the heart of best design principles.
Forward thinking with agile IIoT connected digitalization insights - delivering transformative productive results with intralogistics infrastructure innovative designs. CONFACS utilizes AutoCAD/Simulations for developing and presenting scalable transitions, when expanding thinking around decisions that involve complex future choices.
Approval of strategic plans for intralogistics workplace transition must meet the business guidelines for payback in selection of connected operational best practices. This step now requires project management team members bringing together all cost components while calculating one-time implementation and recurring annual operating cost. NOTE: Often times in our project cost analysis we highlight to clients they may not really afford the money they think they are saving not investing in new processes.
CONFACS documents typical saving opportunities with transition plans:
Yesterday things changed, today things change, and tomorrow things continue to change. These changes will impact intralogistics operations that must be resilient to respond to these inevitable changes. Approving your well thought-out strategic digital transformation plan investment, creating new profitable opportunities that matter, and set up your business for continuous success.
