High levels of efficiency are achieved with products manufactured in large series, while the manufacturing of small series and individual items may turn out to be expensive and inefficient. If cheap production expenses and low-cost raw materials can be combined with large series, the result can be extremely competitive. Many companies transfer their production partially or entirely to emerging industrial countries such as China, India, Vietnam etc. in order to be able to combine these production factors in the most economical way.

But according to the old saying, there’s an exception to every rule. Investment items required for production, such as production lines, are often tailored to the customer’s needs. Done Logistics provides its customers with the design and implementation of solutions for the handling of products that come in a roll shape, the packing of pallets and the automatic picking of orders, none of which are identical to earlier or future solutions.

In information system services for the management of warehousing and dispatching functions, we have taken the standardisation of software to the module and component level. Software elements come as so-called library software, and the package delivered to the customer is compiled from these standard modules, which can, if necessary, be modified to better support the customer’s special needs.

Systems are created as a result of a multistage dialogue together with the customer’s various representatives. The finalised design may include machinery or devices that have not existed before. In such a case, we design them, produce manufacturing drawings and guidelines for them, and either manufacture them ourselves or seek the most efficient manufacturer for them. Every year, Done Logistics carries out one or more projects, in which the solution contains completely new machinery or devices.

The interesting truth of the matter is that tailored automatic systems, which have been manufactured in small series or individually, can be used to carry out the most efficient large series or volume production. And even more interesting is the observation that, even in low-cost countries, manufacturers have started to buy an increasing number of tailored automatic production lines. People have noticed that an automatic production line that has been individually designed and manufactured to meet the customer’s specific needs is the best means to carrying out cost-efficient large series production. People have realised the fact that manual labour cannot replace the many undisputed advantages of automation. There are several work stages which are not worthwhile to carry out even using cheap labour. Automation can be used to reduce wastage and various faults in products and operations on so many different levels that, when looking at overall expenses, an investment in automation pays for itself in a very short period of time.

Sometimes so quickly that there is no need to transfer production to low-cost countries simply because of labour costs...

Done Logistics globally serves companies in industry and trade by designing, according to the customer’s needs, automatic materials handling systems for intralogistics and information system services for the warehousing, dispatching and distribution functions, as well as marketing them and delivering them through turnkey projects. Done Logistics creates permanent rationalisation benefits for the customer’s operations by means of its innovative technical systems that utilise the newest automation technology and sophisticated information technology solutions.

We would like to invite you to negotiate on the solution that suits you best!
