Project details

date 2019-05
  • 3 x Kardex Shuttle XP 500
  • 84 drawers filled (3050 x 864)
  • 1787 different parts, 3006 containers + extra replenishment
  • Vertical space used: 12,125 mm

“When we purchased new Kardex systems, for filling them, we were advised to call upon the services of Jan De Graeve”, explains Rik Muylle, Director of Operations. “As soon as we spoke to him, we felt on the same wavelength in terms of knowledge and possibilities. Based on a thorough tour of the warehouse and accurately providing all the necessary data, he advised us on the type of trays to purchase, 11 different types in total. Using his self-created eff-fill software, he also calculated how the trays could be efficiently filled. Moving labels were printed in preparation for setting up the storage arrangements. Thanks to this good preparation and crystal-clear agreements, we were able to move 3,000 items in a single
day. On the morning of the second day, there was another check and that was it, the job was done. The system using drawers divided into smaller trays works great. It makes picking much faster and allows us to better manage our stock.”
