Story

The particular challenge was to integrate the new system into an existing infrastructure.

The location in Schwaig is not only home to the ITG headquarters, but also to the logistic hub for a well-known German fashion company that handles its shop deliveries from here.

DFT was able to offer and implement a complete solution tailored to ITG from a single source. The newly installed system contains 40,000 EcoPockets and has a sorting capacity of 15,000 items/h. In addition, it includes the complete tote conveyor system from the product line of KNAPP AG Graz.

The EcoPocket® system makes it possible to handle the seasonal peaks during the entire year.

EcoPocket®

EcoPocket® combines garments on hangers (GOH) and flat folded goods (FFG) in one system. The loading of EcoPocket® takes place at different locations within the warehouse, compensating different picking speeds. The system forms buffers in order to carry out waves regardless of the picking progress. The buffer option can also be used for efficient integration of returned goods or fast-moving items in order to increase the efficiency of the fulfillment center. EcoPocket® sequences the individual bags in the system and directs them to the packing stations in the correct order.
