Retail Shoe & Apparel DC

A bit about us:

When receiving a new product in containers, this retailer was encumbered by a totally manual unloading and palletization process, harming the retailer's value chain.  After manually sorting the product and palletizing, much of the product would then be cross-docked by loading the cartons onto a conveyor line to either be transported to a unit sorter or be labeled and sent to the shipping sorter to enhance both speed and the value chain.

Additional Photos:

This retailer worked with KLG to design a system that would provide labeling, partially automate the palletizing and automate the flow to cross-dock or unit sortation to improve the value chain.

After being placed on one of five telescoping truck unloaders, the cartons proceed to a top apply printer and receive either a shipping label or a carton SKU label.  The cartons proceed through a merge and are dimensioned as they are inducted onto the 45 lane sorter. The sorter delivers the carton to a palletizing lane or cross dock divert.  For the cartons to be palletized, the custom WCS program uses the dimension information to provide a stack pattern and layer diagram for each SKU to improve the value chain.  The palletizing graphic is displayed on monitors at the end sorter lanes to assist the operators in building pallets to enhance the value chain.

The system is capable of receiving, labeling and sorting up to 7,500 cartons per hour, improving the retailer's value chain.  Almost half of the cartons received are cross-docked to shipping or to a unit sorter.  All cartons that are not cross-docked are palletized. This system has had proven results in improving the retailer's value chain.

Sorter rebuild

Sorter Rebuild

Cost-Effective Sorter Rebuilds for Distribution Solutions

Your customers do not care if your distribution center’s sorter is out of date, or if it shuts down constantly and your people can’t get customer orders out the door. Your customers want their product on time. If your sorter is dated or otherwise inefficient, Kuecker Logistics Group proudly offers sorter rebuild services to get your sorter where it needs to be to improve your distribution solutions and meet your customer demands.

Our Sorter Rebuild Process

If your warehouse control system is the brain of your conveyor system, the sorter is the heart. It’s crucial that the sorter runs properly at all times. At some point, it will need to be overhauled. Our rebuild process begins with a thorough inspection during which we document the necessary parts and estimate their cost.

After we determine the work that needs to be done, we work with you to determine the best timeline and schedule to perform the work. If you can’t afford to shut down production during the day, we’ll work overnight. We have our own technicians to perform the overhaul service, or we can work with your maintenance team. Kuecker Logistics Group are experts in sorters, and we will direct the entire rebuild process, and monitor the system when it is fully operational to make sure it runs smoothly and efficiently.

Types of Sorters We Overhaul

Kuecker Logistics Group can rebuild the following types of sorters:

• Sliding shoe sorters
• Pusher sorters
• Split-tray sorters, tilt-tray sorters
