Fulfils peak times
January 1st 2009

An automated conveyor system handling up to 30 cartons a minute with minimal manual handling has been completed for wines and spirits wholesaler,Waverley TBS, by European Conveyor Systems.

Waverley's DC at Hemel Hempstead, including a conveyor system installed by ECS in 2000, was badly damaged by the explosion at the nearby Buncefield oil storage depot in December 2005. As part of the re-build, the order-picking process was further automated to minimise manual handling and ensure orders could be fulfiled at peak times.

The facility features a special picking system nick-named Fast Alley, which was created solely for single bottles, involving a separate partautomated conveyor system serving an area with live storage modules.
