Hanging garment conveyor
August 1st 2008 When it came turning an
existing facility into a hitech
central distribution
centre, fashion chain
Peacocks turned to HiLo-
PSS Group to provide a
well-designed and
efficient warehouse
infrastructure.
HiLo-PSS design team
prepared detailed CAD
drawings to maximise the
space available at the
facility near Cardiff and
provide Peacocks with a
streamlined system to
cater for approximately
50,000 garments being
received and despatched
each day. The designs
included the installation
of a two-tier mezzanine
and a hanging garment
conveyor and sortation
system.
Garments are uploaded
onto a manual push rail
system and into a prereceiving
buffer where
they are manually sorted
for the required storage
zones. A separation
hanger, containing an RF
tag, is attached to the
front of each batch of
garments. The batch is
then fed into a ladder
conveyor, which transfers
the garments to the
designed zone where
they are collected and
stored by operators.
Picked garments are
fed into the ladder
conveyor, which transfers
them to the first floor
level of the mezzanine
for sorting prior to
dispatch. More articles from HiLo-PSS Group: |
