AEB (International) Ltd to showcase Supply Chain Solutions at IMHX 2010

Oct. 5, 2010 - PRLog -- AEB (International) Ltd has announced that it will exhibit at the International Materials Handling Exhibition (IMHX), which takes place at the NEC Birmingham from 16th to 19th November 2010. During IMHX, the company, a leading software provider in the areas of logistics and global trade, will focus on two key modules of its supply chain management solutions suite ASSIST4 – transport and warehouse management.

ASSIST4 is a comprehensive solution for all logistical processes in global trade. It can manage the entire warehouse process, from goods receipt to stock putaway, from picking and stock removal to packing, from complete freight document preparation to loading. By standardising and automating business processes in supply chain execution, logistical processes become more reliable and efficient. This in return helps companies to cut costs and remain competitive.

One company that has benefitted from ASSIST4 Warehouse Management is German medical technology manufacturer, ERBE Elektromedizin GmbH. The company develops, produces and distributes medical technology for hospitals and GP practices and has a global presence, with exports accounting for 80 per cent of revenue. Following the company’s move into its new, 409,028 sqft logistics centre in 2007 the implementation of AEB’s ASSIST4 software enabled a faster, more efficient and more customer-centred processing.

This has led to an improvement in the quality of ERBE’s logistics and a decrease in the risk of defects and costly returns. The selection of an integrated software package in which warehouse, transport and export processes are integrated in a single environment has paid off. ERBE customers now benefit from faster and more reliable deliveries and will also gain from future improvements, as ERBE continues to shorten lead times and exploit further cost-cutting potential.

AEB’s ASSIST4 Warehouse Management module has just been tested and  validated by the warehouse logistics team of the well-known Fraunhofer Institute, Europe’s largest application-oriented research organization – a unique seal of quality within the industry.

AEB (International) Ltd’s General Manager, Mark Brannan said: ”Any modern supply chain management solution has to offer large firms visibility and control beyond the individual warehouse. It’s important that companies are able to view all of their warehouses in a single system and also be able to manage all logistics processes outside of those warehouses – whether relating to the inbound or the outbound supply chain. ASSIST4 Warehouse Management does exactly that, and we look forward to demonstrating its core functionalities and unique features at IMHX 2010.”

The International Materials Handling Exhibition (IMHX) takes place at NEC Birmingham from 16th to 19th November 2010. It is the UK’s premier event showcasing thousands of products and services from all sectors of the logistics, materials handling and storage industries. The exhibition is a must for supply chain professionals and is brimming over with ideas to help reduce materials handling and logistics costs. AEB (International) Ltd will be exhibiting at Stand No. 19L136.

On Tuesday, 16th November at 2pm, AEB (Interrnational) Ltd’s Sales Manager Gursh Atwal will give a presentation on Improving Logistics Operations via Integrated Outbound Processes, describing the typical scenarios, case studies and benefits.
