Dimerco
in Action
JIT Replenishment to Tesla’s Gigafactory in Austin, TX
For a China-based Tesla supplier, Dimerco manages the flow of products from China to Tesla’s 10-million-square-foot Gigafactory in Austin, Texas. Inventory ships to a Dimerco-operated warehouse minutes from the Tesla plant. There, we use robot-aided processes to pre-assemble components to speed final production. The work is done in sync with that day’s production schedule and finished units are shipped, just in time, to Tesla.
The solution reduces complexity by using Dimerco to manage container shipping, customs clearance, inland transportation (Houston Port to Austin) and value-added warehousing. By maintaining a supply of this key component locally, Tesla planners are able to order parts as needed, increasing flexibility and keeping inventory low.
