Configuration

Mezzanine

Our mezzanine solution was selected for flexibility, strength and ease of installation. Its lightweight design and fast installation means that we can reconfigure areas, as need directs.
Current configuration includes 3 floors @ 100,000 sq. ft. and a further 30,000 sq. ft.

Handling

Roller and monorail, conveyor systems accelerate the internal movement of bulk and single product and have been tailored to our customers’ needs.

On Inbound conveyoring we apply a barcode followed by inline weight checks against what vendors have declared with directed putaway from the WMS once checks complete.

Outbound conveyor processing involves in line printing of packing lists and RFID tags, products are diverted for Value added services before an inline weight check, multi directional strapping, carrier label application to outbound sortation area.

Materials Handling

Safe and efficient narrow aisle working depends entirely on the right equipment.
The ability to travel and lift at the same time, is standard in many facilities, but we require forklifts that can achieve high-speed lifting and travel, even at maximum lift heights. The storage system has been developed with flexibility for both Pallet and Carton picking.

Warehouse Management & Control System

The conception, creation and implementation of supply chain and inventory management technology is a critical successful factor for Noatum Logistics and its customers.

At ePoint Biggleswade human intervention has been minimised with products being moved directly by conveyors and robotics. Our Blue Yonder warehouse management system and conveyor control system becomes the brains of the operation

Inbound Process: vendor weight checks with directed putaway with conveyors and robotics moving products to storage locations.

Outbound Process: products are moved to the ground floor by robots and conveyors, for inline packing lists and RFID tags to be added before human intervetion for various customer value added services. On completion of value added services the products move by conveyors for final in line weight check box strapping , carrier label application to outbound sortation area.

Robotics

With over 500,000 sq ft of warehouse space our bots take all the walking and lifting of products away from our colleagues and have become a key partner to those team members.

The Locus robots have been fully integrated with the Blue Yonder warehouse management system and conveyor control system managing priorities such as next day deliveries to ensure customer orders meet carrier pick up times.

Customer peaks are smoothed with the use of Locus bots operating 24 hours a day and we have the ability to quickly increase robots as customer demands increase.

Picking errors reduced with product to be picked displayed on the bot’s display screen. Once a team member has completed pick or put away the robot directs them to the next nearest bot for their next task so reducing walking.
