Roll adapter suits ACS

Formal dress hire group, ACS, has boosted picking capacity to around 1000 outfits an hour by investing in new equipment from Dürkopp Fördertechnik.

Dürkopp had previously installed a sortation system at ACS’s distribution centre in Lanarkshire. Now automation has been further increased with a new automatic induction system and adapter handling bunker which will increase operational efficiency giving faster throughput.

Anthony Burns, operations manager at ACS, said: “Dürkopp’s equipment is ideal for e-commerce and is being used by major retailers across the UK and Europe. Their proven Roll Adapter technology gives us higher productivity, increased reliability and – in a first for our industry – real time stock inventory as well.  It also enables us to assemble sets of garments for a whole wedding party from a single order.”
