1000m of conveyor September 1st 2007 A £1m conveyor system capable of
handling up to 1000 orders an
hour with minimal manual handling
by staff has been completed by
European Conveyor Systems for
specialist toy and gift retailer Tobar.
While all order picking
operations were carried out
manually at the previous premises,
which involved operatives walking
long distances, the ECS conveyor
system links a number of picking
zones on two mezzanine floors
with consolidation and packing
areas on the ground floor. It also
delivers products to the picking
zones on the upper floors to
replenish stocks there. Altogether,
the system includes nearly 1000
metres of conveyor. More articles from European Conveyor Systems Ltd: |
