Options and advantages of customized logistics
Personalized logistics is not only a trend in the business world, but a key strategy to optimize processes and offer a quality service that makes the difference in today's competitive market.
Let's take a look at the main advantages of customized logistics for companies and what customized logistics options Epidor Epidor Seals and Rubber Technology offers:
Epidor Seals and Rubber Technology Kit
The advantage of the Epidor Seals and Rubber Technology kit is that we can prepare the exact quantity of seals needed for a specific machine, such as: a process pump, a hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder, a valve, a compressor, a spindle, etc. And each gasket for each item is presented properly labeled, in its bag, and inside a box with the name of the kit.
So what does a custom seal kit consist of? To understand what an Epidor Seals and Rubber Technology seal kit consists of, the best thing to do is to show you an example of it and, in the case of the hydraulic cylinder sealing kit “XX”, it will be made up of:
- The scraper (with its bag and label)
- Stem collar or primary and secondary seal (with bag and label)
- Stem guides (with bag and label)
- Piston seal (with its bag and label)
- Piston guides (with bag and label)
- O-rings for cylinder caps (with bag and label)
In this way, if a person needs to assemble the hydraulic cylinder “XX”, he/she has in a single package (bag or box depending on the characteristics of the kit components) all the gaskets necessary to assemble the cylinder. This avoids wasting time searching, picking up one by one, grouping the sealing gaskets and cylinder guides.
In addition, each element of the kit is individually packaged with the customer's reference number for quick identification.
Customized labels with customer's logo
Another of Epidor Seals and Rubber Technology's advantages with customized logistics is the possibility of printing identification labels with the customer's company logo. In this way, we personalize the delivery of O-rings and sealing products (a service that is highly valued by our customers).
Specific packaging for flat gaskets
Another Customized Logistics solution is a specific packaging for flat seals of
watertightness or gaskets (common gaskets). If the geometry of the seal is complex - and experience tells us that conventional packaging may not guarantee protection of the seal - then a solid cardboard box can be manufactured with a bottom half the height of the box and with the same contour as the seal.
Our customized logistics solutions:
The summary of the options we offer in the Customized Logistics area is as follows next:
- Customizable and personalized product labels for products.
- Preparation of spare parts kits.
- Production of complete kits for delivery to the production line.
- Advance preparation and guarantee of product reservation for delivery on dates (delivery commitment within 24 hours for products in stock).

But how do we manage to offer this level of service? At Epidor SXX we believe in the link between company and customer, so our Logistics department has its own warehouse management software, developed and implemented by our company. sister, Episer.
Proprietary customized logistics software
Our proprietary custom logistics software takes into account FIFO (First In First Out) and FEFO (First End First Out) storage rules. So, when we load an order or service order into our system, Epidor Seals and Rubber Technology's customized logistics software first locates and identifies the items in their location, either on physical shelves or in the 8 intelligent carousel and shuttle warehouses.
Then, if the order consists of several items or is a kit, the program proposes the most logical route for picking and informs the person in charge in real time.
In general, this process optimizes work time while establishing control and supervision points. The result is a much more agile operation with fewer errors in order execution due to the human factor.
If the order is a customized kit, then the labels are printed and the most suitable bags are chosen according to the size of the kit components. And all this is deposited in a single box, which will have the kit's identification label, awaiting collection by one of our trusted transport agencies.
As you can see, the main functions of the logistics department allow us to offer a better service to our customers, which translates into a very satisfactory customer service.
