Mail Order Industry

Systems for mail order cover everything from delivery and storage to picking and distribution. Mail order handling means manual picking in most instances. The goods are placed so that picking can be made as efficient and ergonomically sound as possible. High-turnover goods should be easily accessible and within optimum range.

The warehouse is designed with the goods' size and weight in mind, in order to avoid stress injuries among the staff. Consideration must also be given to the rules that apply for the picking range within which goods should be placed. The aim is that as many pick-ups as possible should be done within a given unit of time.

Picking can be done with the use of trucks, as well as manually by operators on the floor. Certain mail order handling is suitable for automatic picking.

An efficient warehousing system can be refilled and prepared for the next day's work by nightly operations involving automatic cranes. This enables the warehouse to be used as economically as possible. A crane store makes handling easier and also releases warehouse space by not tying up expensive floor area. It can also be used to make the rearrangements necessitated by seasonal variations.

Business and warehouse systems generate statistics for each product. With the help of this data, products can be placed according to a certain grade of accessibility. Goods of a more seasonal nature can be stowed away during low-turnover periods to allow space for high-turnover goods.

Moving supplies systems that are space-efficient and ensure short handling times and required volumes.
