Hansen Transmissions Chooses RedPrairie WMS Solution
To support its logistics processes in its new production site in Tianjin, China
RedPrairie Corporation, a provider of productivity software, has revealed that Hansen Transmissions International NV has selected the RedPrairie Warehouse Management System (WMS) after a comprehensive selection process, reported Materials Handling World Magazine.
Hansen Transmissions International, a producer of gearboxes for wind turbines, is expected to begin the implementation of WMS to support its logistics processes in its new production site in Tianjin, China. This implementation will be followed by sites in Coimbatore, India and Lommel, Belgium that requires a new WMS, reported the source.
Marnix Maes, corporate IT director at Hansen Transmissions, said: We have long used a custom-made logistics system. For support, we are highly dependent on internal knowledge. That certainly gives our overseas sites continuity risks. We want to manage these risks by centralizing our IT and standardizing our WMS.
RedPrairie solution has been opted following a competitive selection processes including workshops, reference visits, evaluation of technical architecture and the continuity of suppliers, reported the source.
Mr. Maes, said: RedPrairie offered us the most functionality in a standard configuration. The company scored best on the 40 functional requirements we proposed. The quality and knowledge of the RedPrairie consultants also played an important role. RedPrairie is further distinguished by offering the best price/performance ratio.
With the new system we are able to achieve a central IT strategy. That makes us more flexible and reduces risk. With the new system we can continue to optimise our processes and reduce unnecessary stock. That translates into lower costs.
