TGW prepares Bestseller logistics centre for peak season demand
Automated logistics solutions provider TGW is extending the logistics centre of Bestseller, the Danish multi-label fashion retailer and one of Europe’s largest clothing companies.
In 2009 TGWfirst installed an automated solution inside the distribution centre in Haderslev, Denmark,which enabledBestseller to efficiently coordinate all of its Europeanlogistics activitiesfrom asingle location. To accommodate a growing product range and to prepare for peak summer volumes, Bestseller is againoptimising its on-site logistics processes.
The extension takes place in two phases. In spring, the never-out-of-stock (NOOS) area was extended in order to prepare for Bestseller’s peak season, which begins inJuly. Here, TGW has installed four more of its Commissioner automated storage and retrieval (AS/R) machines tooptimise the existing 12 machines.
In addition, the connection to the TGW PutStationhas been modified to increase performance andessential algorithms in the warehouse management system have been upgraded according tochangingwholesale and retail requirements. This part of the system is on schedule to go live in July this year.
In the second phase, Bestseller will extend its logistics centre once more, to be better prepared for aneven greaterannual high in July2016. The existing installation will be expandedwith a comprehensive conveying system alongside 17 additional aisles with 420,000 storage positions.
The expansion of the sorter and its controls will be particularly challenging. This will take place during the Easter weekend over 120 consecutive hours in order not to interruptthe running operation, with go-live scheduled for July 2016.
