Case Study - Delphi
A fully-traceable document and barcode scanning audit trail provided by Datalogic Scanning products and TPL Labels. Delphi is a leading global supplier of mobile electronics and transportation systems, including automotive powertrain, safety, steering, thermal, and controls & security systems, electrical/electronic architecture, and in-car entertainment technologies. Engineered to meet and exceed the very rigorous standards of the automotive industry, all Delphi technology is also found in computing, communications, consumer electronics, energy and medical applications.
Delphi has approximately 171,000 employees and operates 159 manufacturing sites in 36 countries with sales of $26.4 billion in 2006. Supplying advanced suspension automotive systems to an Oxford based major car manufacturer, Delphi Automotive Systems ensures the right components are supplied to the assembly line in the right sequence as they are needed.
The Challenge: As a direct result of lean manufacturing initiatives designed to reduce assembly costs, automotive manufacturers require their suppliers to provide just-in-time deliveries of pre-assembled systems directly to their production lines.
Delphi Automotive Systems delivers multiple, small batches of suspension systems as they are needed. This means the automotive manufacturer can minimize inventory levels and improve the operational efficiency. What’s more, Delphi must deliver their automotive suspension systems in the correct assembly sequence, as each new vehicle is built-to-customer order, possessing its own unique build specifications, rather than built-to-stock. In fact, out of every 1,000,000 cars that roll off the production line only 10 will be identical.
The Solution: To successfully meet the challenge of always supplying in assembly line sequence the correct suspension module on each corner of the vehicle for over 5200 vehicles a week Delphi designed an innovative picking process.
Working in partnership with TPL Labels Ltd, a UK specialist provider of custom labels, auto-identification and data capture solutions, Delphi reorganised its shop floor into specific lanes designated by the final destination of all the suspension module on the vehicle: front-left, front-right, rear-left, rear-right.
Jim Allen, Operations Manager, explained: “We were tasked to deliver suspension modules in sequence to our customer’s production line. We needed to have a very robust and reliable error-proofing system that ensured our customer would be consistently supported, and protect Delphi with a fully traceable document and barcode scanning audit trail.
“Together TPL Labels Ltd. and Delphi constructed the architecture of the error-proofing and Datalogic provided all of the hardware and integration. Datalogic was selected as the hardware provider for this project because of its excellent market reputation for quality, reliability and project management.”

Case Study - Hemtex
Hemtex is a chain of stores founded in 1973 and now has a total of 120 outlets, of which most are in Sweden, but with a growing number also in Finland and Denmark. Under a uniform brand name, they market and sell home interior products with an emphasis on textiles.
The Hemtex chain of stores decided to replace its bar code readers in all of its stores throughout Sweden, Denmark and Finland. To this end, Hemtex chose Datalogic’s new hand-held bar code reader called Heron™. Every store has one to two checkout stations and every register requires that one Heron™ be installed. This adds up to a lot of scanners!
It is of great importance that every piece of merchandise in a Hemtex store is marked with a bar code. This because the entire flow of merchandise, such as payment procedures, inventory status and order processing, is linked to the bar code. At the checkout station, the Heron™ instinctive reader and presentation scanner reads the price and article number in order for the payment procedures to work and to update the inventory balance.
Previously, Hemtex used a serial connected bar code reader from a manufacture other than Datalogic, however when it came time to replace them, Hemtex got hooked on the Heron™ with its USB-connection.
“We chose the Heron™ in part because it is a newly developed product, and since it is upgradeable it is a product that can grow with us into the future,” says Per Carlsson with Hemtex. “In addition, the USB connection makes it easy for the stores to connect the scanners.”
Even the store personnel fell for the Heron™, and that is maybe most important since it is they who will use it most. Datalogic’s Quality Partner, PMS Identcode AB, delivered the scanners to Hemtex and Extenda has programmed the cash register application.
