Shuttle orchestration across 3 sites

Three sites, shuttles from different generations and vendors, misaligned stock. Here is how Suntech centralised the orchestration while keeping stock consistent in real time.

Problem

The problem on the ground

The sites ran Autosat and Challenger shuttles of different generations, managed by heterogeneous vendor software.

Stock was misaligned across warehouses, making transfers and capacity decisions difficult.

Approach

The technical approach

We introduced Kazam WES as a vendor-neutral orchestrator, with custom Suntech drivers to talk to both shuttle vendors through a single mission logic.

A nightly reconciliation with the ERP guarantees data consistency and enables a unified view across the three sites.

Result

The measured result

Stock aligned across the 3 sites in real time.

Automatic cross-site transfers, and a considerably simpler decision to onboard a fourth site.
