Siemens Energy achieves logistical efficiency gains by centralizing highly complex operations with Movecta
This is an automated translation of the original release published in Portuguese.
From Movecta
Siemens Energy, a global company specializing in technologies for the energy sector, offers products, solutions and services for the entire value chain of the electricity sector. They include equipment and components with different dimensions, weights and characteristics, such as circuit breakers, capacitors, turbines for generating electrical energy, transformers, industrial reactors, among other items. To meet this high volume and complex demand, Movecta needed to understand the dimensions of each operation and design the most effective and personalized solution.
“It has been 25 years of a totally challenging partnership. We started back then by receiving goods at our customs terminal in Guarujá. We received equipment of the most diverse sizes and amperages. Between 2014 and 2015, we took over all transportation of this cargo, being responsible for logistics from the port to the company's plants located in Jundiaí and Santa Bárbara D'oeste, recalls Carolina Dias, commercial manager at Movecta.
Today, Siemens Energy sees many gains from having a logistics solution fully integrated into its business. It reports expense reductions, operational efficiency gains and time reductions.
“The logistics operation model that we structured for this partner is complex and innovative – it is a complete solution. We take care of all stages, from the arrival of the goods at the port, customs clearance, nationalization, storage and transportation. Reverse logistics is also our responsibility, that is, we take care of the entire operation from the client to the port. It took more than two decades of partnership until we reached this level of excellence,” said Piero Grassi Simione, business director at Movecta.
To gain an idea of the complexity of the operation, Movecta recorded the transport and storage of 60,000 tons of Siemens Energy products and equipment in the last 12 months, totaling around 2 million kilometers driven.
Another high point of this partnership took place in 2021. The company approached Movecta to help it migrate part of its operation from Guarujá, on the coast of São Paulo, to Santa Catarina, in the southern region of the country. From the company's request to the completion of the project, there were seven months of intense conversations and adjustments to the design until final execution.
“We had a huge challenge of setting up an operation in a general warehouse to house equipment such as transformers and entire power plants. Based on this demand, we proposed a solution to assemble a specific structure to store cargo in this segment. Not only did we design the project, we also provided all regulatory guidance, guiding the client at every stage of the process. The relationship and trust were decisive for us to develop this project. This partnership goes far beyond a relationship. We act as a kind of business unit,” says the director.
In this operation, Movecta is responsible for removing the goods at the port, carrying out the entire customs process, releasing and internalizing the cargo, storing, separating and distributing the products and transporting them to São Paulo, establishing a verticalized operation.
“We have a very complex operation, with around 30 employees involved. We receive a minimum volume of 80 containers per month, in addition to air cargo, to transport to one of our general warehouses, where we have a capacity of 13,400m2. In total, there are 10 vehicles dedicated to transferring from the port of Itajaí to the general warehouse and, from there, to the Jundiaí unit,” says Eliel Paulo Breve da Silva, commercial manager at Movecta in Itajaí.
Siemens Energy's entire logistics operation relies on central, verticalized service. “We customize customer service, concentrating information on a single operator. In this way, we are able to better organize the data flow of each client's business unit, reducing the number of people involved in the chain, streamlining processes and generating greater value for our partner,” he concludes.
