Story

The main focus was the change from single-stage picking to more effective batch picking.

There was still a requirement to improve the service level by being able to provide any sequence of articles required by the customer at the packing stations. In addition, there should be the option of being able to process and merge shoe boxes or other flat goods items in just one system.

The Dürkopp Roll adapter system offers the solution for the requirements formulated by Mayoral. By adding the EcoPocket, not only hanging garments but also flat goods can be optimally integrated. All hanging garments are automatically fed into the roll adapter system, while the flat packed items are fed into the system at separate loading stations on the ground floor.

EcoPocket®
Product

EcoPocket®

EcoPocket® combines garments on hangers (GOH) and flat folded goods (FFG) in one system. The loading of EcoPocket® takes place at different locations within the warehouse, compensating different picking speeds. The system forms buffers in order to carry out waves regardless of the picking progress. The buffer option can also be used for efficient integration of returned goods or fast-moving items in order to increase the efficiency of the fulfillment center. EcoPocket® sequences the individual bags in the system and directs them to the packing stations in the correct order.
