The automated small parts warehouse of the distribution centre equipped with nine AS/RS cranes serves as central intralogistics system between goods receiving, order picking, packing and dispatch. At the receiving point, the data of the inbound goods are entered at four mobile receiving workstations. In addition to the small parts warehouse, with more than 45,000 storage locations, a flow channel for »fast movers« is included, with more than 860 locations, operated by a further AS/RS crane.
At each of the eight order picking stations for B and C items, five customer orders can be picked simultaneously in a multi order picking. Completed picking orders are transported either to the packing areas for small consignments (16 workstations) or large consignments (8 workstations). Afterwards, the packages are supplied in the dispatch area on six sortation lanes, ready for shipment.
Montblanc, international premium brand, with operations in more than 70 countries has awarded the order for this central distribution facility to psb intralogistics. Besides luxury writing instruments, the product portfolio of the company located in Hamburg includes watches, leather goods and belts, jewelry, eyewear and perfumes.
