An online fashion retailer faced the
challenge of small order quantities
and high customer expectations. The
TGWinstallation will be in operation
by summer 2011 and includes an
automated warehouse equipped with
TGW Mustang Evolution automated
storage and retrieval (ASR)
machines. This provides more than
50,000 storage locations. The storage
module is connected to goods-tooperator
work stations by a conveyor
network. Two TGW Commissioner
AS/R machines are used for buffering
the orders between the picking and
the packing processes. The conveyor
network links the pick zone to the
packing zone which is also populated
with ergonomic work stations. The
packing stations are then connected
to the despatch area by the conveyor
network where the orders are sorted
by service level. The 1.4 km conveyor
network provides a transport system
within the distribution centre and
links two buildings via a high level
bridge which reduces unproductive
product transfer activity.
