Flexible Deniway picking and packing system for the transport of totes

Two new Deniway loops with a throughput of up to 800 totes per hour are ensuring an improved workflow at PenCarrie, the UK’s largest B2B supplier of workwear and textile promotional items. The smoothly operating conveyor technology from the Swiss material handling specialist Ferag reduces both order picking times and manual work. Fast-rotating goods can also be distributed between several zones.

Challenge / Project goal

• Linking multiple zones to pack benches
• Eliminating the bottle neck – removing the separate consolidation area
• Reducing the amount of manual handling just moving totes
• Optimization of the picking time
• Reducing floor space required for both process and combine consolidation in zones
• Reducing congestion of pickers by spreading fast moving SKU's over more zones
