Global Specification
Many OEMs provide a solution using proprietary software and controls solutions that lock users in. These solutions also include components and subsystems that may not be in the best interest of the customer, but instead are the highest profit product for the OEM. Fídus Global provides a Global Specification service to provide companies with a baseline of specification to avoid hard to support hardware and avoid proprietary “black box” solutions that limit the ability to support their equipment without involvement from the OEM. This provides your company with the freedom to make changes to your material handling system without costly change orders and long lead time projects with the OEM.
Key Details
Many OEMs push proprietary systems that lock businesses into their specific ecosystem, leading to long-term operational challenges such as high costs, limited flexibility, and difficulty integrating with other technologies or adapting to evolving needs. Fídus Global avoids this by providing solutions that are open, scalable, and adaptable.
By allowing clients to seamlessly integrate new technologies without replacing entire systems, Pontem has saved businesses significant time and money by reducing costly downtime and avoiding the need for large-scale equipment overhauls.
Value Proposition
This approach reduces the total cost of ownership by eliminating vendor lock-in, giving clients the freedom to choose cost-effective solutions while maximizing operational autonomy and flexibility.
Features
Safety
Comprehensive safety assessments and compliance checks are conducted throughout the design and installation processes, ensuring that every aspect of the system minimizes risks to workers and operations, creating a safe and reliable work environment.
Layout Design / Ergonomics and System Flow Considerations
The goal is to create a warehouse environment that maximizes productivity and optimizes the movement of materials while minimizing strain on equipment and employees. This involves optimizing the arrangement of machinery, workstations, and equipment to ensure that the layout supports a smooth flow of tasks, reducing delays and bottlenecks. It also involves designing pathways for the efficient transport of goods, which minimizes handling times and reduces the risk of damage or loss.
Mechanical, Electrical, and Controls
Fídus Global ensures that warehouse and industrial systems are designed and implemented to meet international standards. Proper mechanical, electrical, and controls considerations are crucial for the reliable operation of automated systems.
WCS Software, SCADA, Alarms & Notifications, and Data Analytics & Reporting
Fídus Global integrates advanced WCS software, SCADA systems, alarms, notifications, and data analytics to enhance warehouse operations. Together, these elements create a cohesive and intelligent system that optimizes performance, reduces operational risks, and supports seamless, data-driven management of warehouse processes.
Feedback Loop
A robust feedback loop ensures that data from system performance, user experiences, and operational outcomes is regularly collected, analyzed, and used to refine processes and strategies. By incorporating real-time feedback into the decision-making process, potential issues are identified and addressed promptly, leading to more efficient operations. This iterative approach fosters ongoing optimization, ensuring that systems remain adaptable and responsive to changing demands, ultimately enhancing overall performance and productivity.
