Finnish firm putting best foot forward
August 1st 2007 Vesme Systems has
delivered a fully
automated logistics
system for enhanced
handling, storage and
order picking of boxed
shoes, directly connected
to Finnish shoe maker
Urho Viljanmaa Oy's
production line.
According to Urho vice
president Kyösti Viljanmaa,
the system "handles a
daily output of 4000 pairs
of shoes. It both carries
stacks of shoeboxes
directly from the
production area to a
designated section in the
storage area and
automatically picks the
individual boxes of shoes
required. Conveyors then
carry these selected shoes
to the packing and
dispatch area.
"Orders, are visible on
screen and dispatch
documents are printed out
when the order is
complete. We are really
satisfied with it." |
