Swisslog supplies scalable AutoStore system for Texet

As a leading supplier of quality workwear and promotional textiles, Texet Benelux thrives well. Besides clothing, the company also offers design, customisation and personalisation of the products that are kept in stock in Aarschot. The unique, one-stop-shop formula proves to be very successful. Texet Benelux recently decided to expand its existing premises.

In order to further optimise the logistics process and to be able to guarantee fast and accurate delivery throughout Europe, Texet is also investing in an AutoStore system; a unique, space-saving automatic storage and retrieval system powered by Swisslog.

Flexible growth possible

The AutoStore system initially includes 30,000 storage bins, 18 robots, 6 workstations for the infeed and order picking of articles. For the time being, this is more than enough to meet Texet's needs. However, in view of the company's success and ongoing growth, the supplier expects to need more capacity in the future. The flexible, modular design of the Swisslog solution makes it possible to adapt and expand the system completely as desired.

Intelligent synchronisation

The scalable goods-to-person solution is controlled by the Swisslog SynQ WMS. SynQ offers the functionalities needed to optimise warehouse processes. The flexible, cloud-enabled SynQ platform embodies intelligence and synchronises performance. In addition, SynQ provides access to analytical tools, which make it possible to increase productivity and efficiency to unprecedented levels.

For the implementation of the AutoStore solution at Texet, Swisslog can rely on unmatched knowledge and experience. Swisslog was one of the first AutoStore integrators worldwide and has sold more than 130 AutoStore projects in 19 countries since 2009.
