BEUMER KappAhl Case Study - 1

SORTING THE FASHION INDUSTRY A HIGHLY AUTOMATED SYSTEM Just as fashion changes constantly, one of Sweden’s leading fashion retailers, KappAhl, has constantly updated its automated material handling system to achieve greater efficiencies and faster replenishment for their international network of retail stores. For several years, BEUMER Group’s automated material handling systems have been at the heart of KappAhl’s distribution and logistics centre in Molndal, Sweden. Through a series of upgrades, combined with a rigorous maintenance schedule, the system has continued to extend the capacity and flexibility which has been central to KappAhl’s expansion. Today, KappAhl’s distribution centre handles over 60 million items which are shipped to an international network of 345 retail stores. From the initial installation of the sorter, BEUMER Group has maintained their system through a series of service contracts. These contracts provide a schedule of preventative maintenance, carried out by BEUMER Group personnel, in addition to a hotline which provides support during the day-to-day operation of the sorter.
