Présentation du Projet

Ce projet à Suzhou pour VectorCore Electronics portait sur an electronics factory storing PCB components, reels, cartons, semi-finished modules, and line-side buffer inventory. L’objectif n’était pas seulement d’ajouter des rayonnages, mais de créer un système améliorant capacité, sécurité et vitesse d’exploitation.

Runda Rack reviewed the movement of goods, staff routines, available space, load requirements, and the points where time was being lost. The final design focused on medium-duty racking, ESD-aware storage zones, Kanban buffer shelves, barcode label rails, and clear batch traceability.

Client et Contexte du Marché

In China’s dense commercial and industrial environment, every square metre must work harder. VectorCore Electronics needed a rack system that could support change, reduce daily friction, and remain clear for staff, shoppers, inspectors, or forklift operators.

The project therefore required more than standard shelving. It needed a layout logic that could support seasonal changes, campaign peaks, replenishment, cleaning, audit control, and future expansion.

Le Défi

Le principal défi était que mixed component sizes and sensitive electronics made it difficult to keep material visible, protected, and ready for production lines at the same time. This issue affected productivity, safety, inventory control, and the quality of presentation or storage.

The site also had to keep operating. Existing stock, deliveries, customers, forklifts, production shifts, or sanitation windows had to be respected during installation.

Solution d’Ingénierie

La solution retenue fut dedicated zones for reels, cartons, trays, and returned materials, using adjustable beams, mesh decks, anti-static mats where needed, and color-coded aisle logic. Heights, depths, finishes, protection accessories, and label positions were selected according to the real flow of products and materials.

The layout separated high-frequency and low-frequency areas, clarified display, reserve, inspection, and dispatch positions, and reinforced zones exposed to impact, humidity, or heavy handling.

Installation et Livraison

Installation was coordinated with production shifts; critical line-side racks were installed first, then bulk storage was migrated aisle by aisle after inventory counts. Components were sorted by zone and numbered so installation crews could move quickly from unloading to assembly.

Critical areas were completed first. After each phase, the team checked replenishment, picking, cleaning, customer circulation, or forklift routes before migrating the next zone.

Impact Commercial

Material handlers can identify batches faster, reduce walking distance to assembly lines, and isolate non-conforming components without mixing them into active stock. The result was not only more capacity, but better control of the whole operating environment.

Les indicateurs clés sont Line-side Retrieval +38%, Inventory Accuracy +24%, Floor Utilization +35%. These figures show that storage capacity becomes valuable only when teams can use it quickly, safely, and consistently.

Valeur à Long Terme

The system gives VectorCore a disciplined storage base for higher product variety, tighter quality control, and future MES or WMS integration. The client now has a clearer standard for future upgrades and site planning.

Pour Runda Rack, ce cas démontre que chaque site exige une conception spécifique, et non une spécification générique.
