Detailed information about the product Automated Storage and Sortation System

With a turnover in excess of £1bn Matalan is the UK’s biggest volume retailer. The new DC has been established to provide the company with the extra capacity it needs to support its growing number of stores in the south of the country. By June 2005 the Corby DC will be serving some 90 stores in the south.

The new DC, operated by Wincanton plc, will store both hanging and boxed goods. It marks Matalan’s first use of a boxed-item sortation system. SDI Greenstone won the contract to design, build and project-manage the new installation, in a competitive tender, on the strength of its deep understanding of fashion logistics, the highly pragmatic nature of the solutions proposed, and the excellent track record of the systems it has already installed in Matalan’s Skelmersdale DC. SDI Greenstone also completed the entire project to meet very tight deadlines.

The SDI Greenstone installation, built into a 25,500m2 low bay warehouse, comprises separate systems for hanging garments and boxed items.
