When Clipper Logistics plc was awarded a new e-fulfilment contract with a major international retailer, it turned to BS Handling Systems<\/a> to fit out its new 300,000 sq ft distribution centre in Northampton.<\/p>\n\n\n

The storage and materials handling project awarded to BS Handling Systems has involved the company installing pallet racking, a hanging garment solution (GOH system) for 750,000 units, 5 packing spur belt conveyors and 125 packing benches into the new facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Designed to boost productivity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur client is an international retailer with a business strategy to increase their online sales of clothing, footwear and accessories \u2013 this distribution centre in Northampton is part of that plan,\u201d explains Tim Owrid, development director for Clipper Logistics. He continues, \u201cWe have a stockholding here of two million items, which rises up to four million at peak so on a busy day we are processing up to 100,000 items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBS Handling Systems was involved with the fit out process right from the start. I had complete confidence in their commitment to the programme, which was a difficult one due to the strict deadlines and the fact that we weren\u2019t working to a fixed design. They coped very well with all the changes that were made, pointing out any issues and just getting on with it. It was an evolving design process and they played a significant role in helping with that design.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t

Effective trade cooperation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDuring the installation we often had trades working simultaneously in the same area, sometimes in a live operational environment in a carefully sequenced overlap. BS Handling performed well; they understand that the way they work with other suppliers as part of a team, is more important than the way any individual company works as a component part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


\u201cA critical aspect of my job is managing the relationship with my client. In order to do that I have to rely on contractors who are flexible and able to deliver and BS Handling was absolutely central to that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Providing efficient handling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To process and pack the orders BS Handling Systems has designed and installed a conveying solution to provide the efficient handling of up to 100,000 items per day. Once the orders have been picked out of storage they are processed at one of the 100 packing stations which are positioned beside the packing spur conveyors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are 5 conveyors, each equipped with 10 benches on either side. Once each order has been completed it is placed onto the belt conveyor running alongside the operative. Orders then accumulate at the end of each conveyor where they are put into the correct cage for onward despatch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A further 25 packing benches have also been supplied by BS Handling; these are used by the goods in operational team<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another contract win for BS Handling Systems<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tim Owrid concludes, \u201cBS Handling work well. They don\u2019t get a lot of my time, but I can give them
an expectation of what is required and then leave them with the problem.
