Service Management Office (SMO) - Ongoing optimization of your DFT system

An efficient intralogistics system requires more than just reactive maintenance - it thrives on continuous improvement, targeted process optimization and strategic further development. DFT's Service Management Office (SMO) is an optional service that is specifically designed to support customers in the long-term optimization and stabilization of their system.

Your exclusive team of experts for service and process improvements

The SMO team works in close cooperation with the customer's technical team and focuses on the following tasks:

Specific analyses and actions

The efficiency of the systems can be increased through continuous and targeted improvements.

Planning and implementation of changes

The existing system can be continuously adapted to new requirements.

Service improvements

Operational reliability, performance and system availability are optimized in the long term.

Knowledge Management

Proven solutions and improvements can be rolled out efficiently and effectively across locations.

The SMO team is put together individually and can include the following roles as required:

1. Service Account Manager – your key contact person

The Service Account Manager takes on the role of project manager and coordinator. He or she acts as the central interface between the customer and DFT’s technical experts. The tasks include

  • Planning and controlling improvement measures
  • Coordination of change processes
  • Coordination with the customer team to define and implement strategic measures

2. WCS- and SPS-Specialists - Technical Experts

The SMO team can also be supplemented by WCS (Warehouse Control System) and PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) specialists. These experts analyze specific optimization potential and implement adjustments directly in the control systems:

  • WCS specialists optimize software-side processes, data flows and system integrations
  • PLC specialists ensure precise adaptation and fine-tuning of the control logic in order to improve material flow and mechanical efficiency

Goal of the SMO - Maximum Stability and Sustainable Processes

The overarching goal of the Service Management Office is the sustainable improvement of system stability. Through close cooperation with the customer team, process improvements are continuously identified, planned and implemented as part of a change process. This ensures that the intralogistics system always remains up to date and is optimally adapted to the company’s changing requirements.

Optional Service for Maximum Efficiency

The SMO is an individually plannable service that is set up and scaled according to the customer’s needs. The cooperation is tailor-made and can be flexibly adapted to the specific requirements of the respective system and organization.

With DFT’s Service Management Office, companies make a targeted investment in the long-term performance and stability of their intralogistics system – for optimized, efficient and trouble-free operation.
