Speeding up steelAugust 1st 2008
A new a conveyor system has speeded up storage processes at Barber of Sheffield, suppliers of steel products ranging from tattoo and piercing equipment to veterinary needles. The mezzanine floor conveyor, installed by Rusmail, replaces a system which relied on operatives loading the mezzanine floor using the stairway.
"The business was expanding and it was becoming increasingly time consuming to load in this way, not to mention a health and safety issue handling the larger, heavier boxes of product up a flight of stairs," explains Tom Royston, warehouse manager.
"The Rusmail solution makes everything quicker and safer, allowing us to operate at capacity. Also thanks to the installation team communicating with us at every stage, it made for a smooth transition to becoming automated."
