Garment handling system extension
March 1st 2010

Provider of handling and sortation systems for both flat goods and hanging garments, Dürkopp Fördertechnik, has added a second extension to the system it installed for Aurora Fashions, the name behind Karen Millen, Coast,Warehouse and Oasis. The business has a 55,000ft2, four level, central distribution centre at Stanton Harcourt near Oxford which can store around 1.5 million garments, both flat and hanging.

The whole contract, which has a total value of nearly 3 million Euros, includes a twotier hanging mezzanine system and a two-tier hanging garment racking structure. It is currently handling up to 100,000 flat and hanging garments a day.

The system uses D-Store, Dürkopp's bespoke warehouse management product, which also communicates with the customer's own software. It picks and sorts orders received daily from 1400 stores across the UK, Ireland and Europe.
