La centrale de pompage-turbinage de Hangzhou modernise la gestion de son entrepôt grâce à la solution d'étiquetage numérique Effirox

Background

Hangzhou Pumped Storage Power Station, a critical energy infrastructure facility in China, sought to digitize its warehouse operations to improve efficiency and accuracy. Managing thousands of spare parts, tools, and equipment, the facility needed a robust Electronic Shelf Label system that could:

• Withstand industrial environments (dust, humidity, vibration)
• Display real-time inventory data for quick part identification
• Integrate with their asset management system
• Reduce manual errors in parts tracking

Challenges

Before adopting Effirox’s solution, the power station faced several operational hurdles:

• Manual Labeling Errors: Handwritten tags led to 12% misidentification of critical spare parts.
• Time-Consuming Updates: Technicians wasted hours locating parts due to outdated labeling.
• Harsh Environment: Paper tags faded or detached in humid warehouse conditions.
• Lack of Real-Time Data: Inventory changes were not immediately reflected, causing delays in maintenance.

Solution

Effirox deployed a 2.9-inch e-ink shelf label system tailored for industrial warehouse use:
✔ Durable Design:

• IP54-rated digital price tags resistant to dust and moisture
• Shockproof casing for high-vibration areas
  ✔ Smart Features:
• Real-time synchronization with the facility’s ERP system
• Barcode/QR code integration for quick scanning
• Customizable templates for part numbers, locations, and statuses
  ✔ Energy Efficiency:
• Ultra-low power consumption (5-year battery life)
• Solar-rechargeable options for remote storage zones

Results

The implementation delivered significant improvements in warehouse operations:
✅ 95% Reduction in part misidentification errors
✅ 60% Faster inventory audits and part retrieval
✅ Zero Downtime due to label failures in harsh conditions
✅ 30% Improvement in maintenance workflow efficiency

Hangzhou Pumped Storage Power Station’s adoption of Effirox’s Electronic Shelf Labels demonstrates how digital labeling can revolutionize industrial warehouse management. The rugged, real-time e-ink shelf labels have become a cornerstone of the facility’s efficient and error-free operations.
