Welcome to the world of intralogistics
Service
IPCO supports you in finding the proper solution to improve your warehouse operation. I analyse your processes and find the weak spots. In close cooperation with your specialists and stakeholders the best solution will be found. Whatever might be needed to improve your goods- and information flow, together we will identify it.
Professional at work
IPCO was founded 2020 and focuses on the optimisation of processes, information- and goods flow inside logistical hubs.
Over 20 years of experience in logistics operations as well as project handling and business development qualify me to support you in your intralogistics development.
Project history
Below an overview of the most important projects I worked on during the recent years. If anything sounds interesting click on "read more". Most of the individual articles are written in a way to eneble you to understand what the project was about in general but specifically about my contributions and most important my learnings.
2025
2021
Go mobile Step3
Once again the same customer from 2007 wished to move an additional process from paper based to mobile.
Main differenc this time was that the application was supposed to run as stand alone service on the google cloud and not on the local platform anymore. As well the user community was different. Where up till now focus was always on logistics teams this time logistics was only supposed to receive the outcome but the main contributor to the daily operation was sales.
I started the assignment as product specialist and took during the last year more and more the role as acting product owner.
A recognisable difference was that the customer changed compared to 10 years before significantly from the previous whaterfall projects towards an agile scrum based development management.
2020
Drone implementation
2020 I joined a project which had the goal to use drones for the stock accuracy checks in the Warehouse. Similar to previous projects i joined the team as the requirement lead.
There were three drone suppliers one the customer’s shortlist. It was not very clear in the beginning what precisely shall be achieved by the drones, but the customer saw a huge potential in a variety of business cases.
After one year of preparation, starting with expectation management over process mapping until final pilot installations the supplier decision was taken, the first deployments were done and the hypercare period slowly came to an end.
2018
Stay up to date
2018 I joint as subject matter extert in a project which had the task to move a very successful but totally outdated WMS system to an up-to-date level.
Old text-based user interfaces and batch-based logics were changed into modern Web interfaces with near real time data updates. The check against the wishes from the end users and the requirements from risk and compliance were two of the main topics.
2017
Full automation
Increasing volumes require new ways of thinking. In 2017 I did the process analysis and requirement design for a fully automated warehouse. The warehouse is capable to receive full pallets and to perform part picks from those pallets.
2012
Manage Information
This project was a bit further away from the operational warehousing topic. In 2012 a fundamental re-do of the master data management around packaging was needed. I drove mainly the data and problem analysis. Based on that analysis I was given the responsiobillity for the needed changes in the integration approach. During this project I was the solution owner and by that responsible for the entire application development inclunding costs and vendor management.
2011
Go mobile Step 2
In 2011 the same company added the final missing step in the mobile solution, the customer order picking process. In this second step I supported during the first prototype developments and pilot phases.
2007
Go mobile Step 1
In 2007 I participated in a project which changed the major parts of the internal logistic operations at a customer from paper-based to online. This included the initiation of a W-LAN in all 350 hubs globally, the selection of mobile devices and the decision which IT solution to go for.
The Working methods were adjusted, the global education was planned and the complete roll out was supported.
Building on a solid foundation and strong teams
IPCO has been, is right now and will remain a one person company. I bring experience from years of operational business in different warehouses. Next to that there is solid knowledge in different technics and a lot of experience in process optimization, automation integration, product development, benefit measurement and change management.
Based on that background I can support different projects in many aspects, but one of the most important parts is to build on a strong team, since no one knows your business better than you do.
