About CATL

The battery manufacturer CATL is one of the most important players in the field of e-mobility and operates various international branches, including the distribution centers in Erfurt and Magdeburg.

Initial situation

At the logistics and distribution site in Erfurt and the warehouse in Magdeburg, CATL initially coordinated and mapped incoming and outgoing goods as well as dangerous goods declarations manually. In order to optimize site logistics and tie up less personnel capacity, CATL now relies on the hardware and software solutions by myleo / dsc.

Solution: Integrated Appointment Scheduling and Yard Management with Real-Time Data

All processes are mapped centrally in the digital logistics platform: The cloud-based software solution myleo / dsc provides an overview of all processes, resources and capacities on the factory premises based on real-time data and enables them to be organized easily. In combination with hardware solutions in the form of self-service terminals and intelligent access control, the efficiency of yard management is noticeably increased and further automated.

On Top: Smart ADR Inspection Thanks to Individual Checklist

The subject of e-mobility is more topical than ever. Advanced energy storage systems are the most important part of this. As batteries and accumulators are classified as dangerous goods in transportation, they must be declared in accordance with the “Accord européen relatif au transport international des marchandises Dangereuses par Route” (ADR) by default. The myleo / dsc system also offers a smart solution for this process: Individual checklists and photo documentation for ADR and load securing checks via mobile device, which can be adapted as guidelines change, increase flexibility and safety for goods and employees.
