Belt sorter increases throughput

Skechers’ products are manufactured worldwide, shipped to the distribution centre in Milmort and then distributed to the Skechers retail stores, wholesales customers and retailers.

“In recent years, we have seen an increasing demand for our products,” explains Sophie Houtmeyers, head of the logistic centre. “This is why we had to consistently expand our logistic centre. We want to offer exceptional service at competitive prices.”

The fully automatic sortation and distribution system from Beumer is modularly designed and suited for accurate and quick sortation of large numbers of items.

“One of the reasons for choosing the BS 7 BT was its long service life and high reliability,” explains Thomas Wiesmann, sortation and distribution technology sales manager at Beumer Group. The entire system was mounted on a platform. The engineers designed the destinations to make the operation faster and more efficient, but also to handle the products more gently.
