Client Overview
A major eCommerce player operating a high-throughput fulfillment center faced increasing operational bottlenecks due to manual handling of totes and bins across multiple mezzanine levels. The client’s objective was to improve throughput, reduce manual labor, and streamline vertical movement between floors.
Challenge
With the rise in order volumes and SKU counts, the client was dealing with:
- Manual handling inefficiencies during bin transfers between ground and mezzanine level
- Space constraints that limited the use of traditional vertical conveyors or elevator
- Increased labor fatigue and errors due to repetitive lifting and carrying of tote
- Delays in order consolidation caused by mismatched tote arrival times
Solution
We supplied and commissioned a Continuous Vertical Lifting Conveyor, engineered for seamless and energy-efficient movement of totes and bins between floors.
Key Features:
- Compact footprint to fit within tight warehouse aisles
- Automated, continuous flow for high-volume operations
- Custom-configured carriers to accommodate different bin sizes
- Integrated safety interlocks and sensors to ensure zero-drop operation
- Smooth handover points with roller conveyors for infeed and outfeed
