Handling of materials for the consumer market demands efficient, low cost and reliable logistics. Add in e-commerce with the need to respond rapidly to small orders and a dedicated automation system becomes the key to competing successfully. German logistics specialist Durkopp has recently commissioned a highly automated storage facility that is capable of picking from a stock of 600,000 pairs of trousers at the rate of 5,000 pairs per hour. The company specialises in the sorting and transport of flat and hanging goods such as clothing and they are market leaders, with many blue-chip customers worldwide such as M&S, Next, Asda, John Lewis and Zara.
