More efficient warehouse and production with Viscando 3D&AI and Gazpacho Analytics

To deliver faster, safer and more predictably from our webshop, both production and warehouse need to operate with minimal waste and clear flows. That's why we are continuously working to improve how materials move through our own facilities, from assembly to picking and packing, so that every order can be shipped with high quality and shorter lead times.

One of our latest improvement initiatives was to use Viscando 3D&AI together with Gazpacho Analytics to get a fact-based picture of how operators move in production and how our internal flows really work in practice.

Why we do this

Many layout decisions on warehouse floors and in production are often based on experience. This is valuable, but it does not always capture the small time thieves that affect delivery precision and capacity. By measuring walkways, work steps and the use of different material points, we get better information to optimize our own operations, which directly benefits our customers.

How we conducted the analysis

Using Viscando's 3D and AI-based tracking technology, we were able to track how operators moved in a selected area of ​​our warehouse and assembly. The data was visualized in Gazpacho Analytics, where we could see:

• where the walkways were the longest
• which material points were visited more often than planned
• how much time was actually spent in the primary work zone

• where our internal flows were broken or became unnecessarily complicated

What we discovered

The analysis clearly showed which parts of the layout caused extra steps, unnecessary wait times or long distances to critical components. The biggest lesson learned was how much time was wasted retrieving materials that were too far away — something that affects both production rate and delivery capability.

With the insights we were able to:

• short distances to important materials
• improve kitting and picking zones
• create more cohesive flows
• reduce unnecessary movement
• free up time for value-creating work

What this means for our customers

By optimizing our own internal flows, we can:

• pack and ship orders faster
• get better control over inventory status
• maintain higher delivery precision
• scale up capacity as demand increases
• ensure more consistent quality at every stage

Measuring and improving our own work is an ongoing initiative. The next step is to collect new data in the updated layout and continue to adjust the flows, so that our webshop can always deliver both efficiently and reliably.
