There was still a requirement to improve the service level by being able to provide any sequence of articles required by the customer at the packing stations. In addition, there should be the option of being able to process and merge shoe boxes or other flat goods items in just one system. The main focus was the change from single-stage picking to more effective batch picking.

DFT's Ecoflow™ offers the solution for the requirements formulated by Mayoral. By adding the EcoPocket®, not only hanging garments but also flat goods can be optimally integrated. All hanging garments are automatically fed into the roll adapter system, while the flat packed items are fed into the system at separate loading stations on the ground floor.
Mayoral is represented in more than 75 countries with the development, production, marketing and distribution of children's clothing, making it one of the leading European companies in its sector. A network of 12 foreign trading companies, 200 sales outlets and 190 Mayoral stores worldwide belong to the company.
Thanks to the fully automatic feeding and positioning of the Ecopocket®, the Spanish clothing manufacturer was able to significantly increase its production speed. At the same time, the error rate was minimised. The simple integration into existing lines – without time-consuming changeover times – was particularly impressive. For Mayoral, this meant more output with consistently high quality.
The Ecoflow® increased the processing speed by precisely conveying and sorting sensitive materials. The combination with existing systems worked seamlessly and supported Mayoral’s goal of streamlining and seamlessly integrating processes. Thanks to RFID coding, every part is digitally recorded from this moment and can be localised in the system at any time, to control its production processes precisely and respond flexibly to requirements.
