Advanced Material Handling – a Prerequisite for Optimal Logistics


One of the challenges faced by logistics is being in the right place at the right time. Increasingly, it is becoming more and more important for companies to synchronize their logistics processes in such a way that material movements run automatically as far as possible. At the same time, the flow of materials is made so transparent that it can be retraced at any time.

In response to this challenge, J&M has developed the advanced material handling (AMH) approach. This integrates various logistics solutions, such as handling unit management (HUM), labelling, radio frequency identification (RFID) and supply chain event management.

IT Consulting

  • IT and process design
    J&M develops “intelligent” labelling solutions and radio-frequency scenarios for mobile data processing in the material flow processes.
  • Implementation
    The customer’s IT tools are adjusted to suit the processes. In addition, J&M develops added functions in the areas of HUM and RFID. The validity of the processes and the IT systems is checked meticulously before going live.
  • Going-live and rollout
    Using the Enabler-KPI-Value® network method, J&M calculates KPI’s which are then used to control the benefits of the implemented processes and systems during the rollout.
