Elimination of mistakes
New case study, increasing pick rates and orders at a leading distributor. This case study features a large distribution company that Keymas came up with a conveyor system design that would offer both flexibility and efficiency savings, and potentially increase the turnover of the warehouse. Keymas looked at the whole pick process, the order profile, the product profile, the size and shape and weight of products and designed a system that increased the pick rates and order fulfillment at the company.

The system used automatic print and apply, automatic document feed/Pick list, pcik routing, automatic transfers, multiple floors, arm radio terminals and automated dispatch.

The keymas team
We have released our latest case study. Keymas working with a leading distributor to maximise throughput and efficiency. The case study looks at a project that Keymas carried out using our own K-Store system.
“Having gone through the process of recently acquiring one of its largest competitors, the customer came to the conclusion that the existing warehouse was just not large enough to handle the doubling of the capacity, that was now visualised with the new acquisition. Something had to be done and there were two options: build a completely new warehouse, or modernise the existing one which had seen them in good stead for many years.”

Leading mobile phone distributor completes successful project
Keymas complete project for a leading mobile phone distributor based in London. The company, who provide logistics and distribution for mobile phone handsets, approached Keymas to work with them on a consultancy basis after making contact via the Keymas website. As one of the fastest growing enterprises in Europe the company needed to address its existing manually operated warehouse to increase efficiency and meet their growing demand.
Developing the new system
Working together with the warehouse management team the new system was designed to reduce despatch overheads by automatically identifying different despatch routes for specific carriers distributing the mobile phone handsets.
The new system prevents sortation error by using a bar code routing system that automatically identifies the distribution route of the product through bar code recognition.
A successful Project
The project was successfully implemented on budget and on time. Working towards a fixed set of outcomes the warehouse has increased its despatch efficiency and reduced its operational costs.
Keymas Managing Director, John Barton reported, “The project utilized a simple bar code routing system which automatically routes product to its pre-set destination. This process utilizes space in the warehouse and reduces costs making the dispatch process more efficient.”
