This case study describes how Siemens WKC increased small‑parts storage and picking capacity without expanding its physical footprint. At its Chemnitz plant in Germany, Siemens WKC manufactures complex switchgear and electrical assemblies for global industries, but its manual shelving system had reached its limits. To address this, the company transitioned to a goods‑to‑person small‑item picking solution that significantly improved space utilization and efficiency. The automated system increased storage density, streamlined picking processes, and reduced handling time while supporting higher throughput. This modernization enabled Siemens WKC to scale operations, improve productivity, and meet growing demand without costly facility expansion.
