Mayflex, a distributor of converged IP solutions, has enhanced operations in the Central Distribution Centre (CDC) at its Birmingham HQ, with the implementation of a Swisslog Autostore order picking system and 14 Maybot robots.
The investment will speed up the processing of orders, especially sameday despatch and trade counter orders, and enable Mayflex to consolidate orders to reduce the number of consignments customers receive.
Sam Baldwin, Mayflex Operations & Services Director, adds that the new system is more energy-efficient and will enable the distributor to raise its accuracy rate from 99.93% to 99.96%.
He said: “ That doesn’t sound much, but over a year that equates to a large number. The automation will also allow us to automatically choose the smallest possible outer box for each delivery, using less void filler.”
