Automation Solutions (ASAR)

LDSS knows how important automating your packaging line, warehouse and manufacturing assembly operation can be. LDSS uses new and innovative ideas for automating these processes. Our engineers repeatedly fulfill client needs and many times surpass their expectations.

Our engineers have designed and implemented automated and semi-automated systems to replace and streamline labor intensive, human-error sensitive and inefficient operations in the following areas:

• Assembly Lines
• AS/RS Automated/Semi-Automated Packaging Lines
• Material Handling Systems including conveyors, carousels, AS/RS, A-column
• Manufacturing/Fabrication Operations
• Service Operations
• Robotic Systems
• Palletizing Systems
• Sorting Systems
• Machine Vision Systems

LDSS helps identify specific project requirements by assisting clients in gathering data, writing specifications and managing implementations. Our engineers take pride in this approach, which has resulted in successfully replacing processes and eliminating waste and all the while maintaining the integrity of the system and the data.

LDSS ensures proper integration and interfacing of new automation solutions with existing systems. We provide training support, start-up assistance, post-audits, as well as preparation of standard operating procedures, visual work instructions, training manuals and start-up checklists.

We consider the client’s constraints in every concept presented to our clients. LDSS presents customized solutions that fit our client’s budget and operational constraints. LDSS develops the operations and financial feasibility of the final concepts and presents a detailed ROI (return on investment) analysis to justify the investment.

LDSS combines industry experience, advanced technologies and proven methods to deliver effective logistics solutions to support your organization.

Facilities Planning & Design

LDSS has proven experience in reviewing, designing and improving warehouse operations. We design warehouse operations that streamline the product flow and allow complete visibility from receiving to shipping. A smooth flow and complete identification of product allows sudden changes to be manageable and corrective actions to be taken on time. In addition, an adequate layout will provide classification by storage media and smooth product flow through the facility, reducing traffic and congestion.

Warehouse Storage Media

LDSS improves space utilization by selecting the most cost-effective storage media, ensuring vertical cube utilization and enabling high density storage when possible. Decisions on storage media highly affect storage capacity and operator performance. LDSS analysis includes simulations, labor costing, capacity calculations and traffic estimates to decide the most appropriate solution.

Order Fulfillment

LDSS engineers have experience designing facilities, processes and methodologies for order fulfillment environments. Our engineers select the most cost-effective technology and develop the most suitable procedures to accurately pick the necessary orders and ship them on time.

LDSS has experience implementing technology for fast pick environments, including:

• Barcode Directed Picking and Put Away
• Voice Directed Picking and Put Away
• Case Flow Racks
• Carousels
• Pick-to-Light Systems
• Bins
• Single and Multi-level Pick Modules
• A-Frame Dispensing Systems
• Automated Rack Dispensing systems
