Multi-level solutions
October 1st 2007 HiLo-PSS and Polymark have
combined their expertise
under the Agility Group
banner to create a 1365m2
storage and distribution
warehouse in Coventry for a
supermarket chain. The
result is a well-designed,
efficient infrastructure that
can respond quickly to
customer demand.
HiLo-PSS, a provider of
storage structures, garment
identification company,
Polymark, and overhead
handling and conveyor
system supplier, PEP
undertook the installation.
For fast moving garments,
HiLo-PSS prepared CAD
drawings to provide almost
6000m of handling rail as
part of a streamlined system
to handle 289 000 garments.
The design includes a
hanging garment conveyor
and sortation system from
Polymark and PEP.
The main order process
operation is based on a
three-floor solution. The
ground floor comprises part
storage area and two buffer
zones (one for final despatch
and one for incoming items).
Induction and take-off points
carry garments to a PEP
ladder conveyor, which
circulates through level one
and onto two before
returning to the ground floor.
Items destined for the
hanging garment storage
areas move directly from
delivery vehicles to buffer infeed
lanes for QA procedures,
prior to release into the main
storage area. More articles from HiLo-PSS Group: |
