Electrical Supplier Modernizes & Improves Operations
Cross-traffic, worker safety, equipment preservation, and better management of order packing were concerns expressed before the re-design of this large, regional distribution center. The new design had to incorporate radio frequency technology already in use.
Changes to every area of the facility needed to be incorporated and all changes would have to be made during normal production hours, without affecting service. Storage and picking of non-conveyable products were to be accommodated in the final design.
Pro Athlete Retrofits Distribution Center
Because of intense sales growth, a national internet provider of sporting goods was rapidly running out of space. The resulting congestion was leading to order fill-rate, productivity, and accuracy problems.
Existing storage media, which was completely full, consisted mostly of wire shelving. Batch-order picking was carried out in a serpentine fashion—using carts.
Sales increases were expected to continue – causing more congestion, and leading to greater productivity, throughput, and accuracy problems.
