€2 million sortation system
Dürkopp Fördertechnik has been awarded a contract by Europe’s largest formal dress hire group, ACS Europe’s largest formal dress hire group.
Dürkopp has already installed a near €2 million sortation
system using its Roll Adapter technology at the firm’s new distribution centre
in Lanarkshire where more than one million hire garments are stored. Now
automation will be further enhanced with the addition of a €135,000 induction
system and adapter bunker. This will reduce the time needed to load clothing
and accessory items onto the system, increase storage capacity and enable the
condition of adapters to be checked automatically. Any that are found to be
damaged are removed so that maintenance work can be carried out.
