Diebold unveils new $10 million plant
Company consolidates Seville and Mogadore warehouses; no jobs lost
By Dave Scott
GREEN - Diebold Inc. has built a place to put it all together.
The company spent more than $10 million to place under one roof the 38,000 parts it makes and 36,000 monthly orders it fills.
The result is a 165,000-square-foot building near Akron-Canton Airport that combines the contents of warehouses in Seville and Mogadore into one modern facility.
It's called the Global Service Logistics Center, and it puts a spotlight on how service is becoming increasingly important to the Green company.
``We needed a facility that brought our team together, made better use of space and enabled us to employ modern, state-of-the-art equipment for increased efficiencies and improved productivity,'' said Chuck Ducey, Diebold's vice president of global customer service solutions.
Services produce $1.2 billion in revenue, about 50 percent of Diebold's annual receipts. The new facility is the heart of the service operation where parts for those services go out and where parts and other products come in for repair and refurbishment.
Running the length of the building is a conveyor belt that carries parts from two-story racks to places where they can be packaged and shipped. The time for a parts order to be filled has gone from two hours to about 20 minutes, company officials estimate.
Unlike many other modern warehouses, Diebold's new facility employs its own product identification system written on labels, not a bar code or radio frequency identification, or RFID, tags. The company is considering making the transition to bar codes in the future, company spokesman Mike Jacobson said.
Other work at the facility includes:
Preparing ATMs for delivery, including installation of software.
ATM repairs. In addition to Diebold machines, workers are trained to fix other brands, including NCR.
Repairing other products, including bank vaults and safe deposit boxes.
A machine shop is maintained where parts can be fabricated for out-of-stock and discontinued parts.
Refurbishing used Diebold equipment to ``like new'' condition.
``Zone picking'' that places products representing 80 percent of the most requested parts within easy reach of warehouse staff. The facility is organized with the conveyer belt so individuals can take items off the shelf at various locations and have them consolidated in the shipping area.
It took three weekends to move the inventory from the warehouses in Mogadore and Seville to the Green facility.
There were no layoffs as a result of the transfer, company officials said.
The building -- at 5571 Global Gateway, which is part of the CAK International Business Park -- lies in a foreign trade zone, meaning products imported into the area and then exported can pass through without duty.
Chairman and Chief Executive Wally O'Dell said deciding to build in Green represents ``a clear commitment to Northeast Ohio, to Summit County... and that we are committed to global success.''
