Carlstadt, NJ, September, 2012 –A national furniture, home décor, housewares & gifts retailer recently selected abco automation from a group of 3 final vendors to design an automated material handling upgrade for their distribution center.
abco automation won the project by demonstrating the best return-on-investment, and boosting throughput with an innovative design that applied automation to improve process flow while maximizing the cube of the building.
The integrated system is supplied by the following major component suppliers: TGW mini-load cranes, Vocollect pick-to-voice, Dematic conveyor, and a private-label warehouse control system integrated by abco automation.
“We were selected because of our ability to thoroughly analyze their business and to mathematically quantify, in detail, the future facility requirements. This enabled us to engineer a solution that truly fit their needs,” said Jack Lehr President

of abco automation. “The solution is a hybrid product-to-person order fulfillment system that is quickly scalable to handle the holiday peaks of this big box and e-commerce retailer, while dramatically increasing productivity in the order fulfillment process.”
Construction on the material handling system will begin in January 2013 and will be completed in June 1, 2013.
