The Montague Gardens DC was fitted out with garment handling equipment by GMS Systems several years ago. The facility was designed as a cross-dock facility for 100 000 garments with a 24 hour turnaround time in the DC.
Garment sets are received pre-picked, barcoded and overbagged and placed onto purpose-designed set trolleys. Sets are sorted for transfer to other Distribution Centres or for local distribution routes.
The system is fully supported off the roof to reduce floor obstructions and increase flexibility. The entire system was installed in six weeks, ahead of the tight schedule, and met all the client's strict quality controls.
Bank of 72 manual switches for local and trunking despatch
