Order picking boosted
January 1st 2012

Eyewear manufacturer Jai Kudo specified a bespoke conveyor circuit from Conveyor Systems (CSL). The handling solution boosted the order picking efficiency for optical lenses from specially adapted vertical pickto- light storage units.

CSL provided a cost effective design, using modular conveyors integrated into a circuit. Lenses are picked to order from vertical storage units and securely placed in plastic tote carriers. The carriers are placed onto close pitched powered roller lineshaft conveyors with low pressure accumulation that are suited for protecting and smoothly transporting fragile products. The lens tote carrier continues to be driven around the circuit to be halted at one of four blade stops to be removed to packing stations for checking and shipping.
