WMS and MES for the Building Materials Industry

Managing Make-to-Order Production, Oversized Items, and Multi-Flow Logistics

Companies operating in the Building Materials Industry often manage a wide variety of products, ranging from bulk materials such as sand and cement to prefabricated elements and oversized components. The heavy weight or delicate nature of certain materials requires the adoption of automated systems to better manage critical aspects like packaging and transport. These needs demand versatile and efficient logistical solutions. silwa, the adaptable Suite for the Construction sector, combines all the benefits of a WMS (Warehouse Management System) and a MES (Manufacturing Execution System), helping you to: centrally manage every logistical and production aspect; optimize material storage and flow; improve safety and productivity.

Challenges Solved by Our Suite

  • Automation of Handling and Packaging Processes

    To efficiently manage the handling and packaging of goods, specialized machinery is often required. The Stesi Suite already includes the capabilities of a Middleware software (silwaMID), enabling seamless communication between software and automation hardware (both fully and semi-automated systems). This makes it perfectly suited to industries like Building Materials, where automation is a key factor to success.

  • Multi-Flow Management and Geolocation

    In this sector, companies deal with a wide range of products, from small accessories to large beams and prefabricated panels — all requiring a secure and organized management system. silwa enables the control of multiple diversified goods flows through a geolocation system (RTLS – silwaCAM) that: optimizes material movements; pinpoints vehicle locations; drastically reduces accidents and operational risks.

  • Make-to-Order Production and Oversized Items Management

    The Building Materials Industry frequently demands customized production and the management of non-standard and oversized items. Our Suite, silwa, handles order-related workflows, from material picking to the traceability of all production stages. It also enables the optimized storage, handling, and shipment of items with complex logistics requirements.
