European Conveyor Systems
has played a part in a £2.5m
project to expand warehousing
facilities for fashion retailer
Boden in Leicester.

Extra capacity has been
achieved by linking two
buildings with a two-way
conveyor in a 90m long
covered bridge and installing
racking and conveyors to
reduce walking time for staff.

The system installed by
ECS carries cardboard cartons
and plastic tote boxes of up
to 20kg from the goods-in
reception area to specified
storage locations and onward
to picking areas in both
buildings, as determined by
barcodes that are read by
automatic scanners at transfer
routing points. The conveyor
system includes zero-pressure
accumulation sections at
transfers and barcode reader
points that allow boxes to
queue without touching.
