Digitization and automation of production – Digital Twin, WMS and Auto ID

Digitization of production today is not an option, but a necessity. The combination of digital twin, WMS, AMR robots and automatic identification technology creates a cohesive ecosystem for the modern factory. See how HKK Group's comprehensive approach integrates production, logistics and automation into a single environment.

Comprehensive environment for digitization and automation of production - HKK Group solution

Modern manufacturing requires not only efficient machines and skilled workers, but above all an intelligent system that brings all the elements together into one cohesive digital ecosystem. HKK Group is responding to this challenge by offering a complete environment for digitizing and automating production processes – from planning and monitoring to warehouse logistics and physical transportation execution on the shop floor.

The key element is integration: Digit.IO Factory’s digital twin (digital twin) constitutes the “brain” of the system, WMS system manages the flow of materials, AMR autonomous mobile robots perform transportation, and automatic identification devices (Auto ID) and industrial automation are responsible for real-time data collection and processing.

Digit.IO Factory - digital twin as the foundation of production control

Digit.IO Factory is an advanced digital twin system that maps the real-time status of the entire production floor in a virtual model. The system collects data from multiple sources: machine sensors, automation systems, operator terminals, AutoID devices and master systems such as ERP.

Production managers and planners get a single, complete and up-to-date view of the situation – from order status and material availability, to line load, to worker and machine performance.

Advanced scheduling and optimization

Digit.IO Factory is not only monitoring, but also advanced production scheduling. System:

  • automatically creates optimal production plans based on available resources, deadlines and priorities,
  • dynamically responds to changes (failures, delays, urgent orders) and rebuilds the schedule in real time,
  • allows simulating “dry” scenarios without the risk of stopping the line,
  • Identifies bottlenecks and proposes optimization measures.

The expert module analyzes historical data and recommends optimal scenarios, supporting decisions based on data, not just intuition.

Benefits of implementing a digital twin

Companies implementing Digit.IO Factory note:

  • A 15-25% increase in production efficiency,
  • Reducing shift response time from hours to minutes,
  • reducing operating costs,
  • greater predictability of lead times,
  • The opportunity for continuous process improvement.

The digital twin lays the foundation for further development toward Factory 4.0, predictive maintenance and AI-based analytics.

WMS - the backbone of warehouse and internal logistics

The role of WMS in digital manufacturing

The WMS (Warehouse Management System) is responsible for warehouse management and internal logistics. The warehouse software digitizes processes such as receiving, picking, production releases, relocations, inventory or shipments.

Each product is given a digital identity and is tracked at every stage. Operators use mobile terminals, data collectors and barcode scanners to eliminate errors and speed up operations.

Integration of WMS with production and master systems

The WMS in the HKK environment integrates with:

  • Digit.IO Factory – realization of production demand,
  • ERP – synchronization of stocks and documents,
  • AMR robots – automatic execution of transport orders,
  • automatic identification devices (RFID, Cubiscan dimensioning, pick-by-light technology).

Such integration ensures data consistency across the enterprise.

Impact of WMS on logistics efficiency

Implementing a WMS translates into:

  • Reduction of picking errors by 80-95%,
  • Speeding up warehouse operations by 30-40%,
  • Better use of space,
  • full traceability,
  • Optimizing inventory and reducing frozen capital.

This is the foundation of modern warehouse logistics and warehouse automation.

AMR autonomous mobile robots - the future of material handling

AMR GoPal robots operate without a fixed navigation infrastructure. They use laser scanners and AI algorithms to:

  • creating a map of the hall,
  • planning optimal routes,
  • obstacle avoidance,
  • fleet work,
  • safe cooperation with people.

AMR integration with WMS and manufacturing

The transportation process is automatic:

  1. Digit.IO generates demand.
  2. The WMS system creates the order.
  3. The AMR robot performs the transportation.
  4. The system updates data in real time.

This creates a closed information loop without human involvement.

Benefits of AMR implementation

  • Reducing transportation costs by 40-60%,
  • increase security,
  • damage minimization,
  • rapid ROI (6-18 months),
  • Scalability without rebuilding the infrastructure.

This is a key component of logistics automation.

The role of Auto ID technology - the eyes and hands of the system

Automatic identification (Auto ID) and industrial automation provide data to digital systems. Solutions include:

Integration into the ecosystem

The devices transmit data to the WMS and digital twin, providing:

  • automatic data collection,
  • Real-time quality control,
  • full traceability,
  • reduction of operational errors.

This is the foundation of a digital factory.
