Company profile
The VELLEMAN® warehouse
Incoming goods
The sea containers are unloaded using a telescopic conveyor belt. All packages are scanned and sorted out onto a route by a pusher after automatic volume verification. Operators will then manually scan the packages again through sort-to-light.
Distribution Centre
The new DC (Distribution Centre) features the newest logistic technologies such as Kardex Shuttles®, narrow aisle lift trucks and conveyer systems. Fluid stock rotation, zone independency and an optimal space arrangement were the main concerns during the design of the warehouse. The inbound features an automatic sorting unit conveying the goods to the correct location by means of a complex conveyer and sort-to-light system.
Warehouse Management System
The new WMS (Warehouse Management System) in the storage areas allocates the goods to the ideal location according to product and/or volume.
Kardex Shuttles®
The Kardex Shuttles®, with a total capacity of 300m3, allow fast, efficient, simultaneous and ergonomic storage and order picking. The WMS offers the necessary management tools in order to make flexible and adequate decisions for order picking at RF (Radio Frequency), guaranteeing a fluid customer order flow.
Outgoing goods
After picking the order, the bins are scanned and automatically sorted out by a pusher onto a previously determined route according the order volume and/or destination. A separate scanning of each item and the packaging of the order follow the order confirmation. The package is automatically weighed, compared to the theoretical weight, and completed with a shipping label and delivery documents. All packages will then be scanned in the correct transportation zone.
